Why do humans enjoy eating "sex organs"?

Why do I like to eat them? Do you even need to ask? Because they're really delicious! You think I'm talking about the various "penises" preserved in glass jars or the various "eggs" skewered on bamboo sticks at barbecue restaurants?
That's not what I'm talking about. I'm talking about "sexual organs" that almost everyone has eaten, and gourmets flock to them. Don't believe me? I'll tell you one by one.
Scallops
, have you ever eaten scallops? Usually, people eat the "scallop meat" (adductor muscle), but that's not the essence. Scallops have a thick "tongue," sometimes orange-red, sometimes milky white, which many people throw away or don't eat.
Actually, this is the scallop's gonad; red is female, milky white is male, and it's the most succulent part of the scallop. Next time you clean scallops, remember to only remove the digestive gland and gills; leave the mantle (commonly known as the skirt).

Abalone,
have you ever eaten abalone? People eat its thick foot, but abalone also has a scallop-like "tongue," commonly known as "abalone liver." If you haven't handled live abalone, you probably haven't even seen what it looks like.
It's a hepatopancreas enclosed by gonads; females are often dark green, while males are milky white, and some describe it as "the foie gras of the sea." It has a slightly fishy taste, but it's undeniably delicious. Not many people in China eat it, but in Japan and South Korea, abalone liver is often used in porridge or steamed with eggs. Have you ever eaten a

conch
? Many people only eat the meat at the "entrance," leaving the rest inside the shell. If you pull the conch meat out completely, the last part is a winding "tail."
This tail is often yellowish-green, light yellow, or yellowish-brown, and some people say it's the conch's excrement. Actually, it's similar to a scallop's "tongue"—it's the delicious gonads and hepatopancreas, and it's a real waste to throw it away. What really needs to be removed is the gastric gland between the foot and the gonads; some people call it the "gallbladder."

Crab
is a uniquely Chinese delicacy, and everyone has probably eaten it. The best crabs are "full of roe and fat," which mainly refers to the well-developed gonads of mature crabs. The soft, golden-yellow substance in the middle of a crab's belly isn't actually crab roe, but rather the hepatopancreas.
True crab roe is only found in female crabs; it consists of the ovaries and egg cells, is orange-red in color, has a slightly granular texture, and hardens after steaming. If it's dark brown, it might not be fully steamed or has already been fertilized. The thick, incredibly delicious, translucent substance in male crabs is crab paste, which is the accessory sex glands and their secretions, similar to prostate fluid in humans.

Shrimp
have an anatomy very similar to crabs, and their heads also contain delicious hepatopancreas. Sometimes, female shrimp even have a hard, roe-like substance (similar to crab roe). However, male shrimp don't have the well-developed accessory sex glands of crab paste. If you find "white worms" inside the shrimp's head, those are the male shrimp's spermatophores.
Few people can describe their texture or taste, as they're barely enough to fill a tooth gap. But if the shrimp is large enough, these "worms" are quite noticeable; for example, the spermatophores of a large lobster have a slightly chewy texture.

Fish
roe with tofu is a dish many people have eaten; it's the ovary of a female fish, which isn't unusual. There's something called "fish roe" or "white roe" that you might not have eaten. It's the testes of male fish, with pufferfish and cod testes being particularly prized for their deliciousness and considered a high-grade ingredient in Japanese cuisine.
Fish are animals that reproduce externally, so they release a large amount of eggs and sperm. Sometimes when preparing fish, you might see a "white broth" coming out of the anus; that's actually the fish's semen.

Why are these animals' gonads so delicious? To reproduce, gonads often accumulate nutrients such as fat, protein, and amino acids. Fat provides aroma and texture, while amino acids contribute umami flavor.
Of course, gonads also tend to accumulate various pollutants, including heavy metals, organic pollutants, and algal toxins, such as cadmium, methylmercury, dioxins, and tetrodotoxin. Furthermore, gonads are often high in cholesterol, so don't overindulge!
