Back in Japan, my friend's dad is a Sushi Restaurant owner.
He keeps a bucket of live sea cucues.  He pours on the intestine juice on them, then they poo in unison.       He collects ejected intestines and pickle 'em in rice vinegar & soy source and serve..  Saki drinkers love 'em.  About C$10.00 each serving.
I couldn't eat it.

A cute small eel live inside a s.cucumber.

omg Luke, that's too graphic!
So let me get this right, they pickled the intestine? or the intestine-less sea cucumbers?!

Yes, pickled intestine. ( Sunomono.)
I'm sure they don't poop everything, and don't know how long it takes to regenerate in order to poop again, though.

i have worked many jobs but the one job i couldn't handle was working at a fish cannery butchering sea cucumbers. apparently there is a big market for this product. i lasted only two days because, first of all these critters really stank. especially when thousands have been sitting in totes for a long time. second, when you butcher them you actually split them in half, clip one end onto a clip board like cutting board and then you scrap the insides out. i never tasted sea cucumber but they way this company prepared it was drying it out and turning it into a beef jerky type product.  as for me the best way to describe it is that it smelt like *&$%, and when you butchered these critters it was like splitting open someone's ##$@ and scrapping the inside out of it.  not very appealing, hence i only lasted two days at that job.
some things were just not meant to be eaten.
