Uni (Sea Urchin) Tray | Maine
Note this product usually takes between 1-3 business days to be fulfilled. It is sent FRESH. When sent to any shipping destination it is shipped fresh, in a separate box from anything else on your order. This is factored into the price. Uni orders are nonrefundable and non-cancellable once we have ordered the Uni.
Shipping Uni FROZEN allows for simpler and more cost-efficient logistics, resulting in a lower sales price. However, the shipping cost isn't factored into the product price.
Uni, also known as sea urchin roe, is a highly prized delicacy in Japanese cuisine and can be enjoyed in many different ways.
Uni is typically described as having a sweet, creamy, and slightly briny flavor and its texture is often described as being soft and custardy. Enjoy uni with a sprinkle of lemon juice or a dash of soy sauce to enhance its flavor. It has a strong ocean smell and is thick, creamy, rich, and buttery in texture. A good friend of mine says eating Uni is like getting slapped by the sea...
This is a love-it-or-hate-it kind of flavor and texture.
Note that Uni is best FRESH as texture changes when frozen. However, frozen Uni can still be used for a variety of pastes, sauces, with rice, and even by itself with a nice glass of sake.
The best defrosting method for Uni would be overnight in the fridge. We wouldn't recommend any other way.
