Sea cucumbers are echinoderms from the class Holothuroidea. They are marine animals with a leathery skin and an elongated body containing a single, branched gonad. They are found on the sea floor worldwide. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sea_cucumber)
They’re also delicious, if prepared with care, and chargrilling is perhaps the pinnacle of choices. We salute you, Chef!

Sea Cucumber!
I didn’t even know this could be a food and I didn’t really know what to expect. They look a bit like calamari in the tin, but do not have that texture. It almost has the mouth texture of a green banana and the flavor itself is very delicate. A cracker will almost overpower the sea cucumber. I did try them with Espinaler Sauce and Balsamic drizzled on top. The Espinaler complimented them better, but definitely try it straight out of the tin.
I would say the flavor is between a crab and a clam or maybe similar to the fish cakes that you might find in a bowl of asian noodles.
Is it worth it? Of course. Now you can brag to your friends that you have eaten sea cucumber.
