DogNo1 Posted December 2, 2014 Share Posted December 2, 2014 I think that the eggs of the sea urchin are used in sushi - not the meat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pakaty Posted December 3, 2014 Share Posted December 3, 2014 both the male and female gonads are used for sushi Growing up in Hawaii people said eating uni (Sea urchin) is good for virility. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andreww Posted December 4, 2014 Author Share Posted December 4, 2014 You want fresh or frozen? whatever can be eaten as sashimi. We used to buy NZ sea urchins back in Australia, they were chilled in the shop. Have no idea if there'd been frozen before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scary sensationalism and almost no useful info. Skip freshwater fish altogether and you'll be fine. Almost no useful info? Apart from the four ways to avoid dying, you mean? However, thorough cooking kills the larvae. There are other ways to eat it raw, but safely, such as by freezing it at 20 degrees Celsius for at least five days, marinading it in vinegar for at least six hours or by marinading it in soy sauce for at least 12 hours. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

heionus heretic Posted December 9, 2014 Share Posted December 9, 2014 (edited) as far as i know cold water sea urchins gonads were the ones that are eaten. means imported then eaten sashimi (i.e. raw), wouldn't trust it here myself. not sure if tropical ones exist or are edible.
