Sea cucumber

The slug-like creature seen in tidepools is somewhat of a delicacy in Asian culture. You can have it in spicy Korean soup, or stir-fried with vegetables in Japanese and Chinese menus. It’s a little crunchy — a bit like fungus — and since it’s almost tasteless, takes on the flavors of whatever gravy or soup it’s in. If you can get past the way it looked when it was alive, you might like it!
$22.95 for sea cucumber in gravy

I had a Japanese language teacher whose husband would keep sea cucumber (namako) in the 'fridge and just cut off bits when he was ono for it!
