    Growing up, my mother would make this for Chinese NY. It's an expensive stew / braise with dried Chinese mushrooms that's cooked long & slow. The sea cucumbers become more tender or even jello-y the longer you cook them. Imagine the most unctuous beef short ribs or pork belly that just melts in your mouth - it's like that.
    I loved it. A real childhood favorite. 40 years later, Mom still makes it occasionally.
    Thanks mom.

    Btw, the intestines of sea cucumbers you threw out is actually a Japanese delicacy! It's called a konowata and to prepare it is just simply washing it, removing whatever is in it (by _gently_ squeezing it out), and salting it before letting it sit for a bit.. It's quite rare since sea cucumbers tend to expel their guts as a defense mechanism.

    Sea cucumbers are great. When i was in Japan, i used to get them at least once a week. Sashimi with a ponzu sauce or Daikon and kabosu + soy and shichi-mi sauce. It's like eating a mushroom but a lil bit crunchy. A fun fact for those who don't know, Sea cucumbers spill their guts as a defense mechanism and can regrow from those back in the ocean in some weeks.

    Wow. I watch alot of women getting Sea Cucumbers off the Sea floor at low tide and I wondered how they taste. My brother said "Why would you want to taste something that filters water?" I thought what in the waters doesn't filter or have water in and around it. I stuck it in my mind that whatever restaurant I go into that has Sea Cucumber on the menu I am going to try it. I've watched you and Joselyn cook and you two make food look delicious. I've tried a couple of your recipes and they were delicious. Now I will put Sea Cucumber on the top of my list. Thanks for sharing that with us.

      Sea cucumber is more texture than flavour. It's oceany/briney but the appeal is the slippery, soft yet crunchy texture.

    Used to work at a small aquarium and sunflower stars were my fav. So soft and fast! Vicious predators and so curious.
    Also, that third cucumber, the white stuff coming out of the mouth might have also been its mouth parts. If you google cucumbers eating, it’s really cool

    This is a delicacy in the pacific islands, you can just eat them raw and esp the insides are really good but an acquired taste cause theyre acrid and has the texture of snot so we just eat it raw with lemon and a bit of soy sauce.
    Even the meat is cut up into several bite size pieces and just eaten with lemon and soy sauce, maybe also some kimchi base. Ofc sea cucumber have some subvarients, so some are alot more harder to bite into to but really fresh.

    Take a metal sppon and a knife. Hit it with the spoon to tense it up, cut open with a knife and scrape out the guts with the spoon. Cut into thin slices and put it in ice water. Then all you need is a sauce and a cold beer.

    the 2nd one didn't have any guts inside probably because it used its defense mechanism which is to expel all its innards to freak out potential predators. they can regrow and replace all the internal organs after a while.

    Unfortunately I am one of those people that cannot dive below 15-20 feet. It's not that I can't hold my breath. It's that my ear drums are close to breaking. I just cannot do it. I have been told by many divers that sometimes there are people that can't get beyond that depth and to just not do it. You don't want your ears to sustain injury. I can do 20 feet max.
