The first time I realized you could eat starfish was at the Hotel Mercure in Jinan. Star fish is an option at their luscious Sunday Brunch.  I have to admit to finding it off putting.  I remember the joy of finding them on the beach as a child.  They always seemed such a friendly creature.

We found them everywhere on a trip to the sea side city of Qingdao. After the giddiness of enjoying the delights of food street, Margo and I had courage to try one.

Prepare a grill by basting the heated racks with oil.  Brush both sides of the starfish with oil and season with salt, pepper and cayenne. Place a star fish on what appears to be it's back, grill for 5 minutes.  Flip and grill for another 5 minutes.
