Sea Twinkies Bitches! Considered to be the highest quality Sea Urchin on Earth due to the larger size of the lobes as well as the grading that goes into the harvesting of the "Roe", Santa Barbara Sea Urchin stand out among others with a large black (actually very dark red) shell & long 3 inch spines. Whole Live Santa Barbara Sea Urchin average about a pound a piece & are about the size of a softball. Each Sea Urchin contains five bright tongues of yellow and orange roe. Color may vary naturally throughout the year depending on many factors including water temperature, diet, seasonal spawning, weather and availability. For Chefs who chose to forgo the mess & labor involved in killing & cleaning your own Sea Urchin we also offer Uni from both coastal fisheries. Grading is done based on color, taste and texture.
