"There are small, big, long, short long, pink, brown, purplish … Thousands of Urechis caupo seabirds decompose and feast on Drakes Beach, north of San Francisco, where they ran aground after a storm on December 6 [2019].

 

These marine worms are nicknamed "Penis fish" because of their more than suggestive shape. Measuring 10 to 30 centimeters in size and with a blister in the head, they are found on the west coast of the United States, between southern Oregon and Baja California (Mexico). They spend most of their lives out of sight in burrows in the shape of a "U" in the foreshore, the parts of the beaches periodically covered by the tides, where they feed on microorganisms (plankton, bacteria … ).

 

The "Penis fish (at) the perfect shape for underground living ”, biologist Ivan Parr explains in a column published on the magazine's website Bay nature. These sea worms, he explains, have existed for more than 300 million years. "They are the prey of otters, dabs, sharks, rays, gulls and humans", which consume them fried, grilled or in sashimi. In Shandong province, in eastern China, they can be made into ravioli: they have a taste quite similar to andouillette. They are also consumed in South Korea, where they are said to have aphrodisiac effects, but also in Japan, mainly in Hokkaido, and in Russia."
