They should have called it Kiwa hirsuta elvis.
And what are those things, claws or fortune cookies?

Odd looking but most marine life of the very deep are odd looking.

"The ortolan."
There's a scene in the movie "Gigi" in which Gigi's great-aunt teaches her how to eat.....ortolan. The French eat some odd things, that's for sure.

Yes, I read that previously and nearly posted it. As for head cheese, I only feigned ignorance. I've eaten it and it ain't bad but, like blood sausage, you don't want to think too much about it.

I wonder if some kind of sparrow could be marketed as New World Ortolan to the same people who buy foie gras in cans...

Why not? I once researched an article I planned to write about American snail-farming and discovered we're exporting most of our harvested snails to western Europe -- they're so popular there they've nearly eaten them to extinction.
Where I lived the snails were miserable pests in the garden. I always threatened to take in a bunch of French foreign exchange students if only they'd harvest and eat my escargot. Most snails here on the West Coast are actually European brown snails. They were imported originally for culinary use but escaped and are now a scourge. Eat More Snails!

The animal is white and 5.9 inches long, about the size of a salad plate. ,,, at last, a reason to use a salad plate. Good for the French, finding this creature. It may be something to replace all the sealife they've killed with their south Pacific nuclear testing over the years.
To: shaggy eel
It probably didn't exist before the tests. It may have been a seagull....or a snorkeling tourist!
'Does look rather yummy though. It may make a tasty side dish to all those crunchy Orcs we've been eating.
