Smoked sea slug is a typical Fire Nation dish favored among commoners. It is served to the middle class, but even the royalty and aristocracy of the Fire Nation occasionally enjoy this dish. The upper class particularly savors dining on the tentacles of the sea slug, the only part of the animal that can be consumed raw.^[1]

History Edit

The dish was served to Sokka while Team Avatar was dining at the local café in Shu Jing after saving the town from a fire caused by a crashed meteor. However, Sokka did not eat it, as he was feeling down on himself due to his lack of bending abilities.^[2]

Connections Edit

Though it has not been specified, the sea slug could refer to:

1. The sea cucumber.
