Description
The Canadian sea cucumber is a marine animal that belongs to the phylum Echinodermata. These creatures are found in various parts of the Canadian waters, including both the Atlantic and Pacific coasts. Sea cucumbers are bottom-dwelling animals and play a crucial role in marine ecosystems.
Here are some general characteristics and information about sea cucumbers, including those found off the Canadian coast:
Appearance: Sea cucumbers have a cylindrical and elongated body, resembling a cucumber. They have a soft and leathery skin, often with small tube-like feet called tube feet.
Habitat: Sea cucumbers are found on the ocean floor, and they can inhabit a variety of environments, including rocky reefs, sandy bottoms, and mud. They are known for their ability to adapt to different substrate types.
Rehydration: Before cooking, the dried and frozen sea cucumbers need to be rehydrated. This is typically done by soaking them in water for an extended period. The rehydration process returns moisture to the sea cucumbers, making them suitable for cooking.
Cooking: Rehydrated sea cucumbers are then used in various culinary dishes. They are often cooked in soups, stews, or stir-fries. The texture of rehydrated sea cucumbers becomes softer after soaking, and they absorb the flavors of the dishes they are cooked in.
