Blanch-and-shock it first to remove some of its bitterness (as well as make it less toxic to your kidneys).
You can then stir-fry it with lots of shallot and a little oyster-or-mushroom sauce to cut the bitterness. If you lack oyster or mushroom sauce, you can omit it and instead use soy sauce and a little sugar. I personally don't like it with soy sauce. I prefer it with mushroom sauce.
Alternately, you can chop it up after blanching and mix it into a mix mash of ube and taro. If you lack either or both, ube can be swapped out for sweet potato and taro for any yellow-flesh variety of potato (ube is bright purple in colour and taro is a very light lavender). This mixture compliments the bitterness pretty okay. A mix of carrots and onion instead of sweet potato also works nicely.
I like to whip solidified bacon grease into the mash/tetragon mixture, too, when I make it with carrot and onion. Kinda like hutspot.

That would seemingly make you an omnivore. Which is a misnomer since I sincerely doubt that you eat tree bark, grass, or nudibranches.

If ever presented with dores (which is the plural of doris) as a foodstuff, I might give it a try.
And there is no E in nudibranchs. As it stands, though, I've never eaten a sea slug and don't really much imagine I'd like them. I've tried sea cucumber. I was not a fan. At all.

Unless you eat it as some kind of sausege, jerky, party, or otherwise ground product. The English had no idea they were eating horse for who knows how long.

Op if they taste like eggs then they are bitter and you shouldn't eat them. Certain foods aren't very delicious if they're bitter, unlike eggs which are bitter and delicious.
