Sea Cucumbers

Sea Cucumbers or ‘ Sea Cukes ’ are echinoderms - like starfish and sea urchins, many of these animals are shaped like soft-bodied cucumbers.

Used by Chinese cooks since ancient times. The popular Chinese name is haishen or ginseng of the sea. Enjoy the delicacy and health benefits of the highest quality Giant Red Sea Cucumbers in the world!

Once a year, in the month of October when sea cucumber muscle weight is at its greatest, the Canadian Government permits a very limited and short-term harvest of Giant Red Sea Cucumbers in the pristine, clear waters of the Pacific Northwest.
