Often desribed as having a“sugary fishy aroma”, sea urchin is an odd delicacy that many people pass over. Only the yellowish orange tongues nestled inside the spiky sea creature are eaten, of course.
A deep cut with a knife is required to get through the animal’s dangerous spines and into the delicious interior, and some hardcore gloves are needed in the process. An ideal sea urchin rangers from five to six centimeters in size. Smaller urchins lack the unique aroma that makes this eating experience complete. Conneisseurs prefer their sea urgen raw, on toasted brown bread or even thrown into scrambled eggs – for those who prefer an exotic breakfast.
