Eating fresh sea urchin, or uni, is an unparalleled culinary experience. Known for its creamy texture and deep oceanic flavor, sea urchin is a delicacy enjoyed in sushi bars and fine dining establishments worldwide. But you don’t need a restaurant visit to savor this treat. With the right tools and techniques, you can open and enjoy fresh sea urchin in your kitchen.
This guide will walk you through the process of opening a sea urchin, preparing its prized roe, and exploring its versatility in cooking.
Sea urchins are small, spiny marine creatures found on ocean floors around the world. Inside their hard, spiny shells (called "tests") lies the edible part, commonly referred to as uni, which is actually the sea urchin's gonads.
Sea urchins thrive in rocky seabeds, kelp forests, and coral reefs, playing a crucial role in maintaining marine ecosystems by controlling algae growth.
Uni refers to the edible gonads of the sea urchin. These golden-orange or yellow lobes are prized for their creamy texture and intense oceanic flavor.
Uni’s luxurious flavor profile—a blend of sweet, briny, and umami notes—has made it a global favorite in fine dining. Its creamy texture is celebrated in sushi, pasta, and even gourmet sauces.
Uni captures the essence of the ocean, blending sweet, briny, and umami flavors with a creamy texture that melts in your mouth.
"Uni is the taste of the ocean itself—rich, indulgent, and unforgettable." – Chef Nobu Matsuhisa
