Edible Varieties
September 8, 1998
From: Random
Many years ago, while in Korea on a business trip, our host served a meal including what was described as sea slugs. Though I can enjoy a very wide variety of foods, I found this to be exceptionally unpalatable.
Are any sea slugs routinely eaten by humans?

I think you probably were eating dried sea cucumbers rather than opisthobranch sea slugs most of which seem to have distasteful chemicals in their skins. Have a look at Sea cucumbers , "defensive mucus" and sea hare defence for further information. .. Bill Rudman.
