Jellyfish could be turned into crisps
The slimy sea creatures have invaded British waters in recent times due to warm summers but scientists suggest that they could become nutritious snacks.
The jellyfish can be given an extra crunch if they are marinated in alcohol or doused in salt and vinegar.
Researcher Dr. Mathiaus Clausen and a team from the University of Southern Denmark are experimenting with a number of flavour options.
He said: "It's not an unfamiliar taste - it's a bit like pork scratchings."
A Food of the Future report conducted by the British supermarket Sainsbury's also suggests that jellyfish will become a common snack in the years ahead.
The report confirmed: "Recent research has found jellyfish to be full on nutrients and vitamins.
"They are typically regarded as a last resort food source, but research is triggering a rethink."
