sea urchins don't have brains, their CNS is evenly distributed throughout their body and they are incapable of thought--it exists purely for the means of reactionary movement & hunger-drive

[Anonymous No.14951566]

>>14950865
>The nervous system of sea urchins has a relatively simple layout. With no true brain, the neural center is a large nerve ring encircling the mouth just inside the lantern. From the nerve ring, five nerves radiate underneath the radial canals of the water vascular system, and branch into numerous finer nerves to innervate the tube feet, spines, and pedicellariae.[4]

this. there are different grades of sea urchin...


“California Gold” - bright gold, yellow or orange color; firm buttery texture; fresh salty ocean scent; and with a sweet buttery taste. Uni sections are large and complete intact pieces. This is exceptionally high-grade uni for use in top quality sushi. (formerly grade A)

“Premium California” - gold, yellow or orange color but less brilliant than California Gold; firm buttery texture; salty ocean scent; with a crisp and nutty taste. Uni sections are smaller but still primarily intact pieces. Premium uni is used for sushi, soups, salads, or combination dishes where uni is the featured item. (formerly grade B)

“Select California” - medium hues of yellow and orange or even tending to brown in color; salty ocean scent; softer creamy texture; with a more neutral nutty taste. Uni may be intact sections but can consist of broken pieces of the other grades. Frequently Select is packaged and shipped frozen. Uses include soups, sauces and dishes where the uni is mixed with other ingredients, including other seafood. (formerly grade C)

This is important, but probably even moreso-- uni only keeps in refrigeration for like 3 days before the flavor starts to go off.

[Anonymous No.14953201]

>>14953140
They're gorgeous up close. It's not a "stuff" it's a thing. A "tongue" of uni. Beautiful vibrant color and a really interesting texture. Maybe you have a shit palate. I grew up in the US and am a white girl but the first time I tried uni I was like 12 years old and immediately loved it. It's like a buttery custard that is sweet and tastes of the ocean

Again, the uni you ate was old. It starts to taste muddy and sour after as little as 2 days.

I ate it at a pretty reputable sushi place in Tokyo, so I'm not convinced.

Hmmm, what did it taste like to you?

Or was it the texture?

[Anonymous No.14953304]

>>14953287
It tasted rancid, though I don't think it was off because I managed to eat a full gunkan maki of it and didn't have any stomach problems the next day. The texture itself was fine as far as I could tell.

oh, nobody in the culinary world are cocksucker snobs? really?

perhaps you should read the story that happened just the other day in new york where some businessmen were accidentally served $18 wine instead of $2000 wine and were overheard complimenting it before they were told.

people are cocksuckers in this world. people are snobs. people are pretentious as fuck and people don't form their own opinions. people tell you they like shit because they're told they like it, or they'll maintain they like it because they have to to save face. it's all bullshit cocksuckery

uni is DISGUSTING. it's a fucking child's diarrhea turd of seawater. it's DISGUSTING.

>rancid
So, senpai, it was going rancid

Shit can taste bad without making you sick you know? Whole cuisines have been developed around that. Why you think Vietnamese food got so much chili and lime and fish sauce and shit? Cuz their meat was halfway expired half the fuckin time.

If your uni tasted rancid, mate it was rancid. Doesn't mean it's gonna give you food poisoning. It prolly tasted a bit like ammonia and a lot like iron? Yeah, it was old. Just cuz you got it from a decent restaurant doesn't mean they didn't serve you some crap food. Most restaurants do a mediocre job on a lot of dishes pretty often. If you've eaten a food precisely once and it was shit, then it probably isn't that *food* that sucks but rather that particular example of it that sucked.

Fair. Maybe I'll give it another try some day.

[Anonymous No.14953347]

>>14953341
I dunno if this is rude or not, but consider asking when they received their uni. If it didn't come to the restaurant the day you are there or the day before, I'd avoid it. It's really one of those foods that just has a dreadful shelf-life. The best bite of food I've ever eaten was an uni gunkanmaki. So I don't like to hear people call it shit. Cheers

Holy shit. I live in Tennessee and when it comes to feral hogs:
>1. You are outside of city limits
>2. Your bullet does not cross an active roadway
>3. (Obviously) you aren't trespassing
You can literally just shoot them and walk away. As many as you want. You could go full COD sniper from the loft of a barn and just drop them by the dozens every day. Not only is it legal, the TWRA actively encourages it.

[Anonymous No.14961655]

>>14961433

Some people do, most don't. I've been told by several people who do eat them that you have to soak them in milk for them to be even borderline palatable. Nobody eats them like a pork chop it's always shredded/ground and HEAVILY seasoned. It's basically only people who enjoy the idea of getting a hundred pounds of meat for a $1.50 Hornady round. No license, no tags. The bullet and your spare time is literally the only cost.

In Australia we call in sea urchin or just "Kina". Kina is a Moari word for "Sea".
I dont see a point in labelling the same thing twice.
