Removing the UNI from a sea urchin

1. thanks for sharing love these babies!

2. Snot in a rock.

3. Thanks, I hate it.

4. I think it’s usually better to wash uni with saltwater rather than freshwater if possible. Some seafood can suffer from osmotic stress when using freshwater which can damage the cells and change the texture.

5. This is nasty as fuck it’s like harvesting baby shit from a cactus that grew in hell.

6. I was gonna give uni another try sometime, but not after this video. 🤮

7. You should try cutting the “soft” part all around with a scissor so the meat stays in very neatly and it’s easy to clean and harvest, that’s how we do in Italy

8. That yield is amazing. Did you forage these?

   The tongues look so good and thicc, the color was perfect, but it hurt my soul to see them rinsed in regular water.

9. You look like Matt Jackson.

10. Yummy I don’t rinse them at all just eat it like that.

11. I wonder if eating that has the same texture as frosted mini wheats.

12. Who would ever think of this…..

    Let’s crack it open and find out if we can eat it with out dying !!

    Steller!

13. Who looked at a sea urchin and thought “I could eat this”

14. Watching this makes me cringe, after opening the urchin you should be putting the uni gonads in a salt brine bath not fresh water. You place the uni in the salt brine and clean them in there, the transfer to a floating grid with paper towel.

15. And it tastes like it looks 🙂
