Sea Urchin – Dalian


Mangosteen may be the best fruit on earth, but Sea Urchin is undoubtedly the best fruit of the sea. Uni reigns supreme with a thorny crown of thick black spikes and roe upon orange roe of melt-in-your-mouth bliss.


Here in China, sea urchin is served live. Skilled scissors snip off the spines and saw off the top. Soy sauce, wasabi, and a spoon are your weapons of choice as you contend with your sharply-equipped foe. You aim for the orange with your eye on the prize, and as you scoop it into your ready mouth, you’ll taste a decadent delicacy which has no equal.
