Marinated sea cucumber is a refined dish of European cuisine that captivates with its tenderness and piquant flavor. This recipe may trace back to ancient traditions of coastal regions where seafood delicacies hold a prestigious place on the table. The sea cucumber, with its firm yet tender texture, gains a special depth of flavor from the aromatic marinade that includes vinegar, spices, and sugar. Cloves, cinnamon, and bay leaves impart subtle spicy notes while black pepper adds a hint of heat. After marination, the sea cucumber is served chilled, making it an ideal dish for summer appetizers or exquisite gastronomic tastings.
