Thanks Mike, you've covered the most important information about any pecies - how does it taste? Do you have any recipes? >> Tripneustes ventricosus.

Urchin is vile. It tastes like licking the bottom of an aquarium. I've said this many times, and I'm often asked how I could know how the bottom of an aquarium tastes. Well, the answer is that I don't know for sure, but I suspect that it tastes an awful lot like "uni". >>>Tripneustes ventricosus. Common, delicious, favorite food of >>>Bahamians and fireworms.

Well, the edible part is the gonads and roe. Just crack em open like an egg and scoop out the good stuff with a finger. This is a two-handed maneuver, so crack and scoop before ya spit out yer reg. Tastes like licking the bottom of an aquarium. Delicious. >>>>Tripneustes ventricosus. Common, delicious, favorite food of >>>>Bahamians and fireworms.

My only taste of uni was free. The sushi chef said "if you don't like it, it's free". Almost puked the rest of dinner.

The sushi chef said "if you don't like > it, it's free". Almost puked the rest of dinner. I was out for sushi with a friend. He thought it should be part of my education. He laughed. Fortunately, the chosen menu included many more items that I love. I didn't have the same problem you did. Regardless, I will always remember, my first and last taste of uni. > Urchin is vile.

I agree with Chilly. I've got friends who salivate over Uni at our local sushi place...I can't understand it (now the spicy scallop sushi is to die for, however). > > Urchin is vile.
