Icelandic Sea Urchins

Icelandic sea urchins also known as "uni," is a prized delicacy in Iceland's seafood cuisine. These spiny creatures are found along Iceland's rocky coastline and are harvested by skilled divers. 

Icelandic sea urchins are known for their high quality and sweet, buttery flavor. They are often enjoyed raw, served in the shell and paired with a squeeze of lemon or soy sauce. The roe, or gonads, of the sea urchin are the prized part of the animal and are enjoyed for their rich, creamy texture and umami flavor.

While harvesting sea urchin is a delicate and dangerous process, it is done sustainably in Iceland to ensure the long-term health of the ecosystem. The sea urchin population is closely monitored, and only a limited amount is harvested each year to maintain the balance of the ecosystem.

Uses: 

Sea urchin roe is a delicacy that is highly valued by chefs and seafood enthusiasts. It is often used as a garnish for sushi or sashimi dishes, or as a component in seafood dishes. Its unique flavor and texture make it a popular ingredient in high-end restaurants around the world.
