Now our target changed from abalones to turban shells & sea cucumbers.
I don't know if people in other countries eat sea cucumbers as well as Japanese people.
The first time I saw it, I couldn't understand how come human has to eat that sort of weird looking creature. It has no eyes, no fins or legs. It is just... round.
They looked weird for the first time. But now I love sea cucumbers!
Sea cucumbers are quite difficult to find underwater. They appear when water temperature gets colder. Till then, they hide their bodies behind rocks and stay still.
So, it's quite an exciting moment when you finally find one. That special feeling makes you like them.
Recently, skilled Ama are getting more sea cucumbers.
It's quite difficult for me to get 3-5. But they get more than 20 or 30. I don't really know where on earth they found that many! They dive into the same ocean with me though.
