- When you see this spiky thing in the market, it might be a bit daunting to buy such a thing. After watching this video, you'll have a good understanding that preparing this delicacy is pretty darn easy. Just be careful that it is indeed alive when you buy it as anything dead might have excessive amount of bacteria and may make you ill.

"...You don't want to harm your Uni.." YA KILLED IT!
Well not until you eat it.
obsolete professor its different from the urchin
obsolete professor this comment made my day 😂😂😂😂😂😂
obsolete professor lol
obsolete professor he means like you don't want to blast the water at the uni like the water is going Ultra Instinct
Poor Little... Uhh Water Cactus?
EARTH IS A CHAIR!! Omg 🤣🤣 “Uhh.. Water Cactus??” I’m dying
'Earth is a chair' lol
Violetta Cai it’s not an animal you idiot
Violetta Cai you’re still an idiot regardless of how much you read on wikipedia. i know what a sea urchin is, you idiot. it’s more of a sea plant than an animal and doesn’t feel anything. you’re one of those people that think this should be flagged for animal abuse. idiot
Violetta Cai why are you still talking to me? go enjoy your day stupid 💅🏿
I wonder who looked at that and said “I think I can eat this.” At the end it kind of looks like breaded chicken.
Lol... people get hungry. But then I've been eating everything including chicken feet.
chicken feet are good. sea urchin not so much.
You dirty bitch
Asians.
I did. But I know I can eat it. Yum yum yum
It looked like fried fish fillets in the thumbnail
Justin Y. Found you again boi
It seems like you are commenting on your own comment with multiple accounts, lol.
Justin Y. Your name should be change to Justin Wong
Wait... what... oh... nm, you just comment on every video that exists. lol, cool!
Yup
Is Uni plural? Then one piece is Uno?
Uni is Japanese. English would be sea urchin.
😂

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!
Huh! I think vigorously shaking will damage them rip some of them into pieces? Are they in one piece and look untouched after the shaking?
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!
john r Not roe THOSE ARE ITS GONADS
Roe refers to the egg sack... Caviar is roe.
Omg! Those things are pests in some parts of Hawaii. As a kid, I've seen people at the beach, including relatives, open up a wana/uni/urchin and eat it right there.
If Hawaii ever gets caught off from the US mainland, I'd be the first to starve.
Pests? Why not eat those pests eh?
yoooooo. 76 south!
I see them all along waianae side
Did any one get goose bumps from the scraping sound?
Lol... ASMR?
I hated it...

I love sea urchins especially when it’s fresh. If you love oysters then you would love this even more
I thought those were chicken tenders.
I'm italian, we call it Riccio and we eat it in the same way, with bread or with spaghetti :Q
I think it's good in any culture. =D As long as it's fresh.
BeatTheBush DIY true xD
Lol this sounds stereotypical
Bad_Mix dam u eat with 🍞 :O
I just searched it up riccio is hedgehog but riccio di mare is sea urchin
Plump count = 12
i thought this video was called "how to prepare to live in uni" as in university
What about the thumbnail? That should give it away.

when he was removing the top I felt like someone was trying to open my skull and remove my brain 🤣
I have never 👂heard or seen this food before. Interesting. Thanks for sharing.
Oh no? It's such a popular sushi thing.
In the Philippines we catch uni
Sea urchin
Victor D. Rome
Sea Urchin Gonads
I thought it was a plant at first.
Oooh like a sponge thing.
When I was a kid we ate a lot of them on Capri Island, Italy, when we spent our holiday there. Opened them, washed them out with sea water, ate them with some lemon juice.
Sounds divine.
You learn something new everyday, poor little guy lol
There's a lot of that going on for seafood. I mean, in the wild, the same thing happens too.
I like how you prepared it carefully and washed it delicately. Makes me wanna try it!
=D Grab them off the ocean floor!
thought it was fried catfish
So orange looking?
Same
fire storm I commented the same
breaded fried catfish
OMG I WANT UNI SO BAD I’ve watched like 10 videos on it. I hope it lives up to its hype
Just try it and make sure it's fresh before trying it the first time.
If you want a free one, just come to Chile and go to the beach. If you find some rocks with seaweed growing on them, you'll find a bunch of those. They're kinda cute, see how they walk with those tiny spikes.
Nice! You cant eat too much of it though it seems.
Galveston, Texas has them free, they are everywhere.
Thx for teaching me brewing milk tea, fermentation of kimchi and now process uni
=D =D
now i see the five fold symmetry of the echinoderm.. on a more important note what would be the price / pound just considering the edible part inside?
Very very high. I think this was $8-10 just for the five pieces. If it's about 4 ozs then you're looking at $40/lb. But no one will ever go eat a pound of this.
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.
Yup, I don't open up the uni often. But slower and harder is fine for once in a while.
Yea bro hard. Straight split down the middle. Too hoha doing it this way lol
Yip 2 spoons the easiest way to open these. Dude should come to nz, we show him how to open and clean kina
@@horiwalker1346 Mate ,come to Aussi. Is like a Kina infestation here!
Over here in New Zealand these are called kina. Pronounced kin-na. Just thought I'd share that
As in echinoderm?
@@lindaplaylist170 no, its just in another language
@@Solace6428 ah, so in Maori then.
@@lindaplaylist170 yep, you got it!
Such a sweet man😭 well done!
Why is this so satisfying to watch lol
=D
Yummy..we call it sea eggs in Barbados, it is flavoured with herbs, garlic and onions and eaten with white rice.
OMG! That looked so good...I can almost taste the sweet and creaminess! It has been awhile since I had fresh uni.
Hmmmm it's very different and juicy even if it's live.
“You don’t want to harm the uni”
Says the guy that scraped it out with a sharp metal spoon
In terms of deforming the shape, not killing it.
I see people place it in ice water after removing the uni. i think is to prevent the cells from bursting, im not quite sure.
Nice one, I probably should have done that. Luckily I ate it immediately and very little leaked.
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.
we call it Kina in NZ. We get them fresh, crack it in half it and eat i. Doesnt last long enough to serve out onto plates. Dang good eating and has great health benefits.
Insane in the membrane (insane in the brain)
I watched this video and afterwards, went out and had sushi with friends and we all had some uni an it was so good!
Hmmm... sushi....
We live in Okinawa so there are a lot of sushi restaurants.
*Uni-Chan*
Kell meh now
The texture looks so interesting. It seems fluffy and almost fuzzy. I would love to try uni.
Thanks for the video. Would it taste better if you dip some soy sauce with wasabi and eat it with rice? :)
That would be called a uni sushi bowl. Sure, you can do that too. I enjoyed the original flavor so no soy sauce needed.
On buttered bread or toast is better
Excellent video! I plan on collecting uni from the tide pools in northern California, Fort Bragg Ca. Thanks for this informative video.
Nice! I heard they are an invasive species so collecting as many as you can is welcomed.
Never wash the uni, Gordon ramsay said..
It'll be hard to get it clean then.
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.
Youre supposed to clean it, just not under running water. Use a bowl of ice water to clean.
@Ubergrabber bern; Dude, plenty of cultures that have no Japanese influence eat sea urchin and raw fish, ever heard of Ceviche, Carpaccio or Tartare? 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. Don't go huffing about cultures when you seem to not know much about them yourself...
Thank you for this video and for the explanation of the flavors!
Love the channel man, keep up the good work!
Will do! =D
A C k
Love the lengths you go to be frugal but also show surprising benefits! LA guy.
What's more frugal? Go catch these yourself on free fishing day. Except the gas to get there is expensive.
It looks like a smokers tongue. Ick
lol
I washed uni in water for the first time and it honestly takes away that salty sweet flavour! It tasted so bland. Never did I ever do that again lol It’s better washing it in salt water 😍👌🏾
Great point of view. I shall try not doing it next time and pick out the bits manually.
I would never be able to eat that
It reminds me of a Caterpillar
Ehhh... close your eyes and try it, its delightful. Like the yolk of an egg but better.
Love from Massachusetts. ❤️
If you dont know whats happening basically a guy broke into a safe stole sponges and other organs then washes the sponges and eats it
This was an amazing informational vid and very easy to understand. I don't think I'll ever eat uni/sea urchin but it'd be neat if you did a cross section
I'm sensitive.... 😢
So you stopped watching? It wasn't too bad I thought.
BeatTheBush DIY honestly, it was no worse than cracking an egg for me.
Stormy C37 dont be a pussy
Around The Way deal with it.

They don’t have a brain
They’re like plants except with animal attributes.
I find the scraping of the uni very peaceful and it symbolizes to me the struggle of a newborn baby
Why's it called uni when there's 5 of them
Because japanese
I think you ment the joke as in it’s UNO that’s 1 not uni

cause it actually tastes good :D Btw i ate one before
Food is food.

5:53 my god he is a magician he turned beer into chopsticks
Lol.
I'm rethinking having dinner tonight lol..
Great review though! Bon appetit!
Of having sea urchin instead? =D
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 :)
This is very very common in sushi restaurants. They call it 'uni' and is normally market price.
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?
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.
It looks so good when it's done
Utterly disgusting in the process.
now im hungry :(
=D
You can never have too many uni videos. YUM!!!
I kept watching. It's just sad because the urchin was very much alive before you ate it 😔. I do think you cleaned it well and the dish itself looked good.
I know... best to do it as fast as possible. It's like eating crab, lobster or oyster. These things are alive.
sea urchins can’t feel pain
sea urchins can't feel pain
actually i read somewhere in recent discovery they found that fish actually do feel pain
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.
i dont know why but seeing him cooking makes me happy
this is gross
80% self confidence and 20% technique.
You have amazing respect for the food you work with, it goes further than care.
You get into this mode when thinking about sushi. =D
This is so satisfying for some reason
im probably never gonna eat uni but i still am gonna watch this
now this is a high quality video with so much detailed information good job!
I 💙 Uni! Thanks for this video
You're welcome!
“You don’t want to harm your Uni.”
*jabs it with a knife and rips out its insides*
Yup. Man eat seafood out there.
In New Zealand we have fresh sea urchin which we call Kina as a traditional name and I just cut it off rocks and eat the yellow bits
Rest In Peace
In nz that's called kina
That is huge uni. You will never get that in a restaurant. This video was very thorough in explaining how to prep. Huge, I’m so jealous. I want him to open one for me.
Fantastic camera work here. You allowed the viewer a great angle of the inside of the urchin. How you managed to see inside is a mystery to me. Nice job!
Its called Kina in New Zealand. If yous havent tried them before they taste like a ball of creamy salt that melt on your tongue.
here at philippines its free, lots of sea urchins you can do a catch and cook onthe spot
Hmmm... how is the cleanliness of the waters over there? Is it ok?
I eat this all the time it's in my diet rich in protein e.c.t NEVER EVER wash in fresh water it takes the creamy buttery taste away instead crack the shell fully open drain the water inside the shell into a shiv then clean your uni in the water from inside the shell and enjoy.
I personally like mine on hot toast with lashings of butter and somtimes a little splash of lemon juice boom done and its amazing
so satisfying to watch
=D
That’s so cool! I’ve never seen one of these before.
It's great to eat on the rocks right after you catch them with some wasabi balsamic vinegar dressing (yes i carry dressing with me when i'm hunting uni)
Cool!
"If you're sensitive"
BRUH it doesn't have a brain and therefore DOES NOT feel pain. It uses a vascular system to live so to all the peeps getting butthurt over it, just chill. Btw great video dude. Looks amazing👌
Fun fact actually; sea urchins feel no pain, right when you open them up all they realize is it got alittle colder. They feel not 1 bit of it.
Interesting.
Ya learn something new every day. Nice video I subbed!!!
Thank you!
i'm weird for this but you really calm my anxiety thank you
I'm glad. =D
Bro I would've smashed 20 back by the time you finished
I loveee your vibe! Keep it up😍😍😍
Since the first time I tasted Uni in a Japanese restaurant in Manila, it became my favorite seafood! The taste is beyond your expectation. It has this natural umami taste and a bit of seawater taste plus buttery texture like it's melting on your mouth when you eat it. I definitely recommend it to anyone who hasn't tried it yet. It's a bit pricey but it's worth it. It's one of the most delicious seafood for me. I'll definitely try it again next time! Now I'm craving it's only 2AM owww 😋😋😋😋
Very very good indeed but then they are high in cholesterol? Best only eat them in moderation.
@@BeatTheBushDIY yeah of course. I also believe eating anything excessively is not good.
Wow!Thats some uhhh...interesting and exotic food
with Uni the best way to tell if it's fresh is the texture. If it's slimey and falling apart it is not going to taste good. The color should be a bright golden-yellow like what you see in this video, but even if it is a bit darker but still has the right texture it will end up tasting decent. I think most restaurants that sell Uni are overpriced; you're best option is to go to your local fish-market and get live ones. You could also get them at the supermarket, but keep in mind they won't taste as good and you need to make sure they are firm and fresh.. otherwise they will literally end up tasting like horseshit or a fishy geoduck clam.
play a drinking game on this video... and the key word is "uni"😜
Thank you so much for a really great vid, cant wait to see more...
Thank you for watching!
‘It’s kind of hard to tell whether it’s fat or not’ . Like You Would care, YOU ATE IT!
I care because there's more if it is fat.
scuba diving san juan islands there is 1000s if not millions of Sea Urchins and IMO any consummation helps all sea life. These critters will wipe out klep forest in a few months. So eat them often
I lived near the sea, and half my life as fisherman. But, I never realize Urchins are this much damn good...!
I have still yet to find a single video here on TH-cam where somebody can actually extract the roe properly. It should only take 5-10 seconds to crack and remove the roe and you never under any circumstance rinse the bloody thing with fresh water!!
Well not everyone has salt water coming out of their tap.
