It's not exactly peel-n-eat but it's not far off. You have to do this outside or your house will reek for a week, you have NO idea.
 
Thaw the frozen durian (it is EXTREMELY rare to get fresh) outside but don't let it rot!!
 
It has a kind of thick shell, so you take a bread knife and just cut through the shell but NOT the pulp inside. Remove the shell (like you're making durian on the half shell) and scoop out the innards with a spoon.
 
You can get it at any of the Taiwanese- or Vietnamese-run markets (99 Ranch, Shun Fat, Phu Ky, San Gabriel Superstore, Hawaii, &c.;) in season.
