Some types of Jellyfish are indeed considered a delicacy in east asia.
They are actually delicious when properly prepared, sliced into strips, seasoned in vinegar and sesame oil, and served cold. Their texture is like chewy beef tendon (another rather delicious oriental dish if correctly prepared), but with a much lighter and clearer taste. It can be made into a sort of salad, or lightly cooked with either vegetables or meats.
Unfortunately the recipes seems particular about the exact type of jelley fish, and the sort that becomes abundant when fish stock is depleted appearently do not make for good eating.
The Japanese were among the first to suffer massive jellyfish outbreaks after overfishing, and believe me, they tried to see if they could eat the wind fall in jellyfish. Appearently no go.
