When I lived in Samoa, I would on rare occasions, eat Pololo, which is a type of marine worm that lives in the corals of the South Pacific. One day each year, they leave their corals, and come to the surface to mate during the full moon night of November, (summer in the Southern Hemisphere). ALL the Samoans, are in the water, which looks in the moonlight like it is boiling, with nets, and 5 gallon buckets, to get enough to freeze for the next year. The first year that I was there, I flipped out the Family that I lived with, (and later legally adopted me), by when I was walking out of the waist deep water to handoff the full buckets, and get two empties, I scooped up a handful of the writhing Pololo, and ate them. My brother to be, looked at me, slapped me on the shoulder, and said "you are one of US now".
They really taste good, I loved them, we would fry them up with eggs in the morning.They taste like Shrimp.
