The penis fish which is neither a penis nor a fish and gets its common name for 
reasons that are easy to see, is really a "fat innkeeper worm".

"The fat innkeeper worm (Urechis caupo) is a type of spoonworm (Echiuroidea), 
an order of non-segmented marine worms identified by a spatula-shaped proboscis 
used for feeding and sometimes grasping or swimming."

Apparently  people in China and Korea consider it a delicacy. But not Goans who 
rather appreciate Bombay Duck or Bombili which is not a duck but lizard fish.

Everyday brings an opportunity to learn something new...
