Thousands of “penis-fish” are washed onto a California beach after a storm pulled them from their underwater burrows. Formally known as fat innkeeper worm, an expert believes a recent storm forced the worms out of their underwater homes and carried them to Drakes Beach, leaving them exposed to predators. This 10-inch marine creature looks like a ‘pink sausage’ and creates U-shaped burrows in mud or sand that it leaves behind for other creatures to move in, hence its name “innkeeper.” Those who have dined on the “penis fish” have said it is chewy, salty and surprisingly sweet.
