SEA URCHINS – HOW TO EAT THEM
Sea urchins are considered a cool weather food. In Sardinia you can find them on sale from the middle of November to late April.
This delicacy is eaten raw and is often featured in the cuisines of most Mediterranean cultures. The best way to eat sea urchins is by carefully dipping a piece of soft white bread directly into the shell and scoop out the meaty orange center, while trying to avoid any piece of shell or spine remaining from the opening process. Mmmm …. delicious! Give it a try!
