You may be surprised to learn that you can cook and eat a starfish. While not a common dish, it is possible to prepare starfish for consumption. Here are some tips on how to cook a starfish:
First, you will need to clean the starfish. This can be done by simply rinsing it off with fresh water. Next, you will need to remove the stomach sac located under the center of each arm. To do this, simply make a small incision with a sharp knife and then pull out the sac. Once the stomach sac is removed, you can either discard it or keep it for another use (such as making fish stock).
Next, you will need to remove the eyes and mouthparts from the starfish. These are located at the center of each arm and can be easily pulled out with your fingers or a sharp knife. Finally, you will need to cut off the arms of the starfish. You can do this with a sharp knife or kitchen shears.
Once your starfish is cleaned and prepped, it is time to cook it! Starfish can be cooked in many different ways including boiling, frying, baking, etc. One simple way to cookstarfish is to boil it in salt water for 3-5 minutes until it turns opaque white in color. This method results in tender flesh that has a slightly sweet taste.
If you want to fry your starfish, simply coat it in some flour or cornmeal and then fry it in hot oil until crisp and golden brown on both sides. Another option is to bake your starfish – just place it on an oiled baking sheet and bake at 400 degrees Fahrenheit for 10-15 minutes until cooked through
