My weekly local catch at the farmers market. Sea urchin AKA uni AKA butter of the sea is a delicacy in many parts of the world and an aphrodisiac in Japan. A hard spiky exterior masks the creamy delicious interior. Uni is packed full of zinc, omega-3 fats, protein and my personal favorite- anandamide- a fatty acid neurotransmitter that binds to the cannabinoid receptors in your brain for that euphoric glow. The taste and texture is definitely not for beginners but once you’ve graduated there’s no turning back. Try it raw with a touch of gluten-free soy sauce and some fresh wasabi
