Freshly Picked Sea Cucumbers

Somebody gave some to my dad which was just freshly pick from the sea.

Normally my mom would make these into a soup dish. Super delicious actually because it's quite chewy. 🤤
You can actually cook it in different ways. I've heard that it can be eaten raw or pickle but never tried it before yet. Quite curious of how it would taste like raw. 🤪

Isn't that great?

The only thing that is troublesome is the cleaning process.
It takes quite an amount of time to cook it 1st then clean out the intestines.
