It's an animal, not a vegetable.
In Chinese it’s 海参 — hǎI shēn. In Korean it’s haesam. Both mean the same thing, sea ginseng, arrived at independently. What each culture does with it after that could not be more different.
One of the “Four Sea Delicacies” 鲍参翅肚
Known as 海参 in Chinese cuisine, one of the Four Sea Delicacies alongside abalone, shark fin and fish maw. Traditionally braised whole and served at banquets, prized for texture rather than flavour — it is meant to carry the sauce, not compete with it.
Dried into konoko
The gonad specifically, dried into thin amber strips called konoko or kuchiko. One of Japan’s three great delicacies alongside karasumi and sea urchin, eaten in small amounts, often with sake.
Eaten raw, not cooked at all
Haesam — literally sea ginseng, the same meaning independently arrived at in Chinese. Served completely differently here: sliced fresh and raw, dipped in vinegared chilli paste. Prized for a specific snap — Koreans call it ododok — that only very fresh sea cucumber has.
Simmered into soups
Known as gamat in Malay. Used dried, then rehydrated and simmered into soups and slow-cooked stews, where it thickens the broth and takes on whatever it is cooked with.
Convenience Driven
Where every tradition above centers on preparation — hours of soaking, raw slicing, careful drying — modern Western consumption strips that away: capsules and powder, ready in seconds. Ours specifically is Cucumaria frondosa, a cold-water North Atlantic species with no place in any tradition above. Not a continuation of four centuries of history. A new adaptation of an old ingredient.
一種會將自己翻面後再長回來的動物。
這種生物、四百年的貿易以及「roe」這個詞——這些都是不爭的事實，無論是誰在販賣。
大腦。牠的口部周圍有一圈神經，沒有大腦也能運作得很好。
每百克奶粉含有三十隻動物
不是魚。牠們和海星、海膽是近親，和牠們一樣，海參也是靠著數百隻微小的水動足來移動。
重新長出牠們的內臟。在受到威脅時，有些物種會完全排出內臟以求脫身，然後再長回來。
已知物種，從淺海沿岸到深海皆有分布。我們的是其中一種冷水動物。
完全成長的 Cucumaria frondosa 的大小。短小，桶狀，顏色深，有五排橙色末端的管足。
