That makes sense, but I think the globular substance would have to be specialy constructed. Firstly, and insulated bubble to prevent the charge inside from escaping, and secondly, a conductive inside to hold the charge. This would create a capacitor, with the seawater acting as the other plate. When it hits something the membrae would break, allowing the charge to equalise. Through the target. If the goo inside was electrolytic, it would be many times more powerful. Like how an electrolytic capacitor is much smaller, but has a huge capacitance.

As for the lightning that surrounds his body, I thought the bubbles appeared after he did it. It would be very simple, he simply releases the electricity to flow through the water back to his shell shockers, so the front would be positive and the back negitive. As the description says they only release the electricity, and they have a spiral patters inside, we can assume these are capacitors also.
