I usually enjoy uni. I like it wrapped in seawood because it complements the uni's briny but sweet taste. The lightly toasted seaweed offsets the rich creaminess of the gonads.From April to September, it's uni season. At top restaurants, the edible part of the sea urchin is usually served 'fresh', halved in its shell. Well, it's just the gonads, not even the roe. I've eaten fresh uni before, without guilt.
Tonight, however, my stomach lurched a little when uni was served. It isn't alive but it feels almost cruel to scoop it out like that to eat it.
