A sea urchin is a marine animal with a hard, spiny shell. The edible part is its orange gonads, which have a briny, creamy flavor. It is generally eaten raw or in pasta sauce. Pregnant women, young children, older adults, and people with weakened immune systems should not eat raw seafood.
Where It’s Used
“Carefully open the sea urchin, then taste the orange part raw with lemon.”
