Abstract

The term beche-de-mer is the French rendering of the Portuguese name bicho-do-mar, signifying a sea slug. It is also widely known as Trepang which is a Malay word. Although the term beche-de-mer denotes a sea cucumber, in the trade pailance this word refers to the processed holothurian. As a delicacy it has become part of the life and tradition of the Chinese who eat beche-de-mer on festive occasions like the Chinese New Year Day. Beche-de-mer procured in dry form is soaked in water, cleaned and cooked in many delicious ways. It is rich in proteins and has low fat content.
