    Everyone I know in my country of New Zealand including myself Do Not clean Urchin in water or at all. Pop shell open with flat knife and (vigorously) shake off all the guts before removing the roe. Its usually clean enough after this process. And when shelling we use a strainer and put them in a container of their own juice to eat later (if we don't drink it all first) The sea taste is the best part! Urchin goes good with a fancy loaf of bread or on toast with real butter. And always drink beer with your seafood, it's the best! My ancestors also left them to ferment in shell to intensify the flavour making it creamier and sweeter, very delicious!

    • @BeatTheBushDIY
      @BeatTheBushDIY  6 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    • @john-roywattie1483
      @john-roywattie1483 6 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      BeatTheBush DIY you will get the odd one that falls out but you do it over a strainer to catch the juice and it rarely gets damaged, you can feel how hard or soft to shake but that's just another way of doing it, every culture is different. Awesome video btw.. Looks very very delicious!!! I could eat an entire sack full of those!

    • @michaelb.7505
      @michaelb.7505 6 ปีที่แล้ว

      From a biological standpoint placing a cell in pure water (hypotonic solution) will result in osmotic burst. The colder temp will slow the movement of across the semipermeable membrane of the uni cells; however, they will eventually burst nonetheless. I've never tried it, but i'd assume it would be best to eat it immediately if possible.

    If you open it properly it wouldnt be so bloody hard🙄, There is a far better way if opening them. This is the difficult way.
    You can split straight down the middle with a sharp knife or 2 spoons push down on top of the mouth and split 2 spoons back to back of each other.
    by the way, the left over shell and all the parts in the shell is good for your gardens. straight out the shell tastes better, pouring fresh water on it kills the taste. Anyway by the way if anyone is wondering what the roe actually us, its the gonads😂 the creamier the better lol.

      I'm sorry but you cant be serious. you cant just take a living animal and eat a part of it with little to no preparation then give it a dish name. its simply raw sea urchin from the ocean. no culture of people has a claim on it. just think if you were to take raw wheat, raw tomatoes and raw milk then call it a pizza without preparing either of its ingredients. only italians would be able to tell you the proper way to do it if your argument is to be taken seriously.

      Come on people this is not a new invention. I live in Barbados and we have always had them, only we call it sea eggs. We don't get a lot now because of over catching. Better come here let us teach you how to prepare it. Here the fishermen break and clean them on the beach, they used to put the cleaned roes back into the shells but in the last 20 yrs they clean them and put them in containers. Don't be fooled about them having to be in the unopened shell, that's nonsense. We would love to get some as there has been a ban on catching them. I don't know how they could talk about eating them live when you are going to find sand in them and we would never use them without squeezing some lime juice on them.

Sea urchin is commonly eaten in Greece, Spain and Italy, it's considered a traditional food even in Native American cooking. It's eaten fresh, usually right out of the ocean, same with the Caribbean like that other guy mentioned, the lime or lemon juice isn't to mask odor it's for flavor, people like different things.

      Of having sea urchin instead? =D

    • @ccnbutter
      @ccnbutter 7 ปีที่แล้ว

      lol I wish I could give that answer, it had more of an opposite effect haha. It resembles fine caviar (which I am not a big fan of either!). First time I saw this thing being cleaned and eaten and haven't noticed this on a menu of any sushi restaurants. Will keep my eyes open next time :)

    • @BeatTheBushDIY
      @BeatTheBushDIY  7 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      This is very very common in sushi restaurants. They call it 'uni' and is normally market price.

    • @tinacerda1978
      @tinacerda1978 7 ปีที่แล้ว

      Edward Astvatsatryan I don't like caviar either. But I'm intrigued by this uni. Is it very salty like caviar, or milder like shrimp?

    • @ccnbutter
      @ccnbutter 7 ปีที่แล้ว

      You are right, i'll be keeping an eye out for it :)
      btw any sushi restaurant suggestions in and around LA? I think BeatTheBush is from somewhere around there. I am planning a trip this January.

    • @BeatTheBushDIY

    • @intheraeyne
      @intheraeyne 6 ปีที่แล้ว +15

      Their nervous system is very, very primitive. They can sense light and touch. They have a minimal understanding of being in pain and that they need to prevent it to survive, but it isn't causing actual pain to them. They just try to continue to survive to eat and breed.
      All plants are like this. Killing a sea urchin isn't much different than picking a flower.

  • @Orius25
    @Orius25 6 ปีที่แล้ว

    Thank you, this was very educational.... I've always been curious about uni at the sushi places but never had the courage to try it. Sounds like fresh/live is the best way to go. I will definitely be trying this.
    Also, my relatives live on the atlantic coast and I remember their are tonnes of search urchins in the bay by their home. Maybe not the same type as the one you worked with but maybe I could try catching my own?

    • @BeatTheBushDIY
      @BeatTheBushDIY  6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Yeah.. if you eat some of lesser quality the first time, it might cause you to never want to eat it. Go with fresh ones from a high quality sushi restaurant. I wonder if that area is clean enough to just eat from the ocean.

    • @BeatTheBushDIY
      @BeatTheBushDIY  7 ปีที่แล้ว

      Hard. It's like a rock. You can eat it with rice like nigiri or in a chirashi bowl. But it is also eaten as sashimi though less often since its so rich.
