Sea Cucumber, also known as Beche de Mer or Haishen, is a marine animal found on ocean floors throughout the world. Most are less than a foot long and resemble cucumbers in shape. Sea Cucumbers are relatives of starfish and sea urchins. They feed on algae that they sift from sand on the seabed. Sea Cucumber is considered a delicacy in Chinese cooking and is often served at New Year’s feasts, usually in soups. The Chinese call Sea Cucumber ‘Hai shen’, which means ‘sea ginseng’, a reference to its healing properties.
