Sea Urchin Roe

Sea urchins are small, spherical marine animals that are found living on seabeds all over the world.

You may well have found yourself trying to avoid stepping on a sea urchin when paddling in the sea on holiday.

The spiny shells of our sea urchins, which have been handpicked in Iceland, conceal a very valuable treasure: sea urchin roe.

Considered both a delicacy and an acquired taste, sea urchin roe, or uni as it’s known in Japan, are not eggs but are in fact the creature’s sex organs or gonads. They have a briny but sweet ocean flavour and a unique, thick and creamy texture that can sometimes be divisive.
