Ya know what does wonders for fresh lychee? Refrigeration. I'm not sure why, but chilling them improves & enhances their flavor. Since I can only get 'em in June & only when I'm paying attention, I tend to eat canned more often, but chilled fresh ones have a brighter flavor & less... um... squeaky flesh? if that makes sense? (Canned ones seem to squeak on my teefers when I eat 'em.)
I know what you mean about the squeakiness. The thing that bothered me about the fresh ones I had was that each had a tough part -- almost woody -- that was unpleasant to chew. Next time I'll have to try fridging them for a few days before I eat them.

Me too. Clearly a can of emergency lychees needs to be stashed in my fridge. I'll have to remember that.
