Hi Maryann – yeah I know.

Hi Lisa – Thanks! I was excited about those photos. When I see sea cucumber on a menu now, I will not be thinking of some innocuous vegetable…

Wowie, what fabulous photos. Amazing-looking critters, aren’t they? I think I’ve eaten sea cucumber in some Chinese dishes, but I could be thinking of something else.

Hi Peter - "YOU ROCK" is the ultimate compliment coming from you.

Hi Psychgrad - lemony sea cucumber!

Hi Anamika - me too, but only this time.

Hi Sylvia - "YOUR HERO" thanks!!!
I can't just stick to cupcakes you know.

Hi Simona - so you are a diver? I enjoyed snorkeling in Belize and the Exumas. In the Exumas I dove down for conch (about 8 feet of water), brought them up to the boat then made conch fritters. Very cool.

Hi Laurie - thank you so much and sorry to disappoint, no delicious photos of the sea cucumber this time.
I love squid! Maybe we'll see it on your blog soon?

To All: Thanks for your appreciation of this less-than-tasty looking post!

I like adventure in the kitchen! And I hate to disappoint you, but alas, I did not eat the sea cucumber. I have decided that I will first taste it at the hands of an accomplished chef, perhaps in a high-end Chinese restaurant. Then perhaps tackle it myself after that. I tried, but I could not motivate myself to prepare it this time. Something as ugly as this requires motivation on part of the cook for sure!

I definitely enjoyed the photography aspect however.

I agree with Peter Lori Lynn..you rock!!
The most adventurous i have gotten with sea food is squid. I can’t wait to see what you present to us!

Sea cucumbers and sea urchins are fun to look at underwater. I have never tasted either and I am pretty sure I don’t intend too. The photos are very nice.

Lori Lynn you are my hero !!!! I don´t imagine myself eating those, even doing a self proclaimed adventure in new tastes
