00:00 During my beach trip, I always remind vacationers to be careful of jellyfish.
00:06 If you get close to a jellyfish, you will get a scary shock.
00:15 Especially the box jellyfish, which is the most dangerous.
00:20 It's not easy to see because it's colorless.
00:28 But if others get away from jellyfish,
00:30 our wanderer Marvin is not avoiding it.
00:35 He catches and catches jellyfish.
00:39 Here in Lingig, Surigao del Sur, box jellyfish are easily found.
00:48 And from June to October, jellyfish are one to sawa.
00:57 I learned how to cook and eat jellyfish from my father.
01:02 My father's son is a fisherman.
01:05 He often encounters jellyfish in the sea and he catches and makes dishes.
01:12 But catching box jellyfish is not easy.
01:17 The secret here is to avoid the predators.
01:20 Because it contains the nematocyst that is poisonous to humans.
01:26 I'm not afraid because if you clean the jellyfish properly, nothing bad will happen to you.
01:34 And today, we will accompany Marvin in his operation DIGYA.
01:40 And Marvin's secret weapon to catch more jellyfish is his spear.
01:46 Hello, wanderers. We are here in the town of Lingig.
01:51 I'm here with my two friends and we're going to the sea to catch jellyfish.
01:57 Once you catch the jellyfish, you will hold it in your hand and be careful to remove the gills.
02:08 We will remove the gills first because this is the one that is itchy.
02:15 [music]
02:16 These are the jellyfish that we caught and we will take them home to make Kinilaw.
02:30 Marvin will cut this and wash it again until it is clean.
02:40 After we clean the jellyfish, we will put it in a tin so that the jellyfish will not be salty.
02:49 You can choose from two versions of Marvin's Kinilaw DIGYA.
02:54 One with fish and one with mango.
02:58 Once the ingredients are cut, the jellyfish will be put on a plate.
03:03 It will be put with onions, ginger, vinegar, chili powder, and lemon.
03:10 And then we will put the mango.
03:13 Taste the Kinilaw box jellyfish.
03:21 After making Kinilaw, Marvin will bring it to the drinking place.
03:27 Thank you, Dol. We have a drink.
03:30 It tastes like a jellyfish that is a bit salty and it goes well with the ingredients.
03:38 It's like a fried Kinilaw. It's delicious!
03:42 But the question is, is it safe to cook and eat DIGYA?
03:48 In our box jellyfish, there are many parts in Asia, particularly in the Philippines and China, where jellyfish is eaten.
03:56 To say that it is safe, the first thing we need to do is to know if it is really edible because there are those that can eat it and those that cannot.
04:07 It is important that the washing and preparing process is correct.
04:13 Because if you did not wash it properly, the toxins and food pathogens that can be a source of food poisoning can be left there.
04:21 Box jellyfish can also get nutrients like protein and minerals like iron and omega 3.
04:32 Did you know, fellow wanderers, that the taste of box jellyfish is not a secret if you are not used to their poison that can kill people.
04:41 It's not a secret.
