What is sea cucumber ? Is it cucumber growed in the sea ?

How many types ?

Please tell me !

Hi Pmh,
Here is some info on sea cucumbers:

Sea cucumber - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Believe it or not, they are actually considered a culinary delicacy in China. I know a restaurant local to me that serves them, but I haven't mustered the nerve to try it yet. Apparently the odor is a bit appalling, never mind the brown gelatinous "sauce"... :)

Thanks for your very useful informaions.
Now I know it can be eaten.
