The Squirt Fish Lady of NamDaeMun



I thought these were some kind of plant since they seem to have roots.  But they are not.  They are some kind of seafood called a squirt fish.  If you google squirt fish, you will get all kinds of cute plastic fishies that blow water out of their mouths.  If they knew they were evolved from this they would be humiliated.  I am getting the impression that eating these involves drinking heavily.

UPDATE:  Wikipedia says it is a Sea Squirt.  And here is the truncated version of their explanation:  Various species are commonly known as sea squirts or sea pork. ... From this comes the common saying that the sea squirt "eats its own brain".    I have met a few people like that.
