What is Sea Urchin?

Sea urchins are a spiny, round and edible sea animal. They live in warm and cold waters, inhabiting shallow and deep oceans. They have hard shells covered in spikes and are between 1 to 4 inches in diameter. The shell is cracked open and the gold meat of the sea urchin's reproductive organs are eaten. This also contains the roe, or eggs. The flavor is delicate, sweet and tastes like the ocean. The texture is creamy like custard and pops like caviar.
