That's what it sort of looks like. Divers bring them up and strip out the muscle which is very tasty. Used to get the odd one fishing from shore off rocky points for salmon when I let the lure sink too much. At first, you are swearing as you think you are caught on the bottom, and then it comes loose as you yank on the rod hard. Sometimes they seem to fill themselves up with water to make themselves bigger, probably some sort of predator defence.
