How to open a sea urchin for uni sashimi 開海膽

[bossychick34]

[cr0ss0ut]

[Jordanrom]

Does the color of the urchin affect quality? Some at my local market are pale pinkish others are dark purple...?

[jjcollura]

ok so....when do u cook it???

like..

deep fried orrrr?

[MonchaBaby]

@jjcollura : I ate it raw. It tastes the best when it's eaten as Sashimi. If you don't like it Sashimi style, I would recommend cooking it into a white wine sauce served over angel hair pasta. That's another way that I like to eat Uni.

In that weird part of youtube again >.>;

[AllAbout127]

I tried you're recepy and it tastes like s**t!!!!XD

[MonchaBaby]

@AllAbout127 : I never liked Uni when I was younger. It's probably an acquired taste. Also, it needs to be ultra fresh before it tastes good.

[illuminatioracle]

what market is this? those are some beautiful meaty sea urchins.

[MonchaBaby]

@illuminatioracle : It's the Steveston Harbor in Richmond, British Columbia.

[biggydg]

actually you can use 2 spoons to open it..



[MonchaBaby]

@biggydg : Just two spoons? I've never seen that method before. Interesting.

[shattered2]

whats the black stuff?

[MonchaBaby]

@shattered2 : The black stuff is not for eating. I believe it's the intestines probably.

[netzonvideoman]

[AlexSecordTV]

Can you describe the taste?

[TheRabbithunter8]

@AlexSecordTV it tastes a little like lobster.

[Nethlon]

@jonaslover9971 They taste like sharp

[MonchaBaby]

The ones I got where big and black with a bit of purple. They taste sweet and have a slightly bitter after taste. But it's a good kind of bitter! Can't wait until winter in Canada to buy them again!!! =) Thanks for watching!
