Easiest way to crack open a spiky sea urchin for the uni!

2 жыл бұрын

Rinse the shell of the sea urchin and take out the beak (or the mouth) by inserting a sharp pair of scissors, grab, twist, and pull it out. This creates the opening for you to insert 2 spoons with the tips of the back against each other like this. Squeeze the top of the handles and it will crack the uni in half. Dump out the insides that is filled with digested kelp and pick out the leftover kelp that is stuck on gonads. Rinse it until the water comes out clear. You can use your spoon to pick out the gonads or if they're loose, scoop ithem out with your hands gently. Wash off the uni and soak it in salt water for a few minutes. Scoop the uni onto a dry paper towel and enjoy!

Sea urchins are decimating the kelp forests of Central and Southern California largely due to climage change-related issues. So, eat those unis and take some of the pressure off this delicate biome!!

Problem is no one wants low quality sea urchins, so just collecting them to eat doesn’t really solve the issue sadly. From what I hear the low quality ones make good fishing bait though. Maybe one day that could make a big dent in the issue.

For anyone who’s never tried eating sea urchins before, my first impression when I tried it was it tasted like the sea: salty, briney, and a little fishy but in a good way. Try it with different condiments like tomatoes and onions, even vinegar and chili and it’s great!

Yeah. People do shit like that. A lot, actually. A few examples in other businesses to varying degrees of severity: People selling awful records, or low quality records being printed and sold Car mechanics messing up someone’s car and not bothering to tell them (less common in modern times) Hospital hills being incorrectly calculated and charging someone more than they owe (from what I’ve researched this is mostly a problem in America, where medical bills are crazy enough as it is) Improperly manufactured lighters being distributed (again, less common modernly but still happens in countries/states with a low quality control)

Another tip coming from someone who used to spend his summer in the middle of the sea. . . . Put those sea urchins in a net after you caught or bought them and shake them by pulling on the net left and right. This will remove the spikes and make it easier to open them with your hands. . You can just tap your spoon or whatever available at hand sideways like how you would on a coconut. We didn't use utensils other than a kitchen knife whenever we eat these after we gathered some.

@SaoirseVisceral Жыл бұрын

So does every animal you eat (depends on what farm you get it from) this is less painful than those chickens who lives in tiny cages and get their beaks cut off and force fed. And those cows who were forced to be pregnant for milk Plus i doubt sea urchins feel pain at all because they dont have the same receptors like mammal. Pleaseee, the double standard people have on livestock

@@SaoirseVisceral As far as i know we are not exactly sure if sea urchins feel pain but you may assume they do. Also your argument is whataboutism. Just because other animals are killed in a more violent way, does not mean that it is okay to cut open a live sea urchin. To someone who got robbed you would not say "well some people get killed by robbers, so don't complain" (at least I hope so) and the original comment did not even mention it is okay to eat cows, drink milk etc. Maybe they are vegetarian or vegan? I agree that we are doing horrible things to animals just for the sake of our pleasure but please use a different type of argument next time, this one makes you seem overly emotional and unrational.
