They’re molluscs. This is like a clam you don’t have to shuck.

That’s… a challenging sight. I don’t think that’s high on my “Gotta try” list.

So in parts of Asia they eat tarantulas. We live in this world.

I ate a raw snail in Japan once. It was OK.
I’d rather eat this than leftover chicken gizzards, which have ended up in my fridge a few times. You really gotta eat those fresh.
…How about chicken gizzards?

Nope… cant do innards lol… Ive been spoiled by large scale farming too much. Im sure there is an organ out there, that when cooked a certain way, I would find delicious. Ill just never know what it is.
I have a friend who refers to all shelled seafood as sea-bugs; shrimp, lobster, crab… yum.

It’s just better when you don’t know. There does seem to be some sort of code at Asian resto’s, but honestly, you’re better off not knowing. The idea of it ruins the reality. Once you get past the idea that regardless of organ, the extra chewy connective tissue is really just extra protein, it’s fine. Especially if you work out a bunch, even for carb-heavy regimes like running the recommended protein intake is kinda nuts. (Pun not intended)
I don’t order lower intestine knowingly, though. Eating butt organ I draw the line at.
