Title: Swaki / Sea Urchin Roe

What the heck are these strange looking creatures, you ask? Swaki, I am told. Not actually sure if that is spelled right or it could be suaki, I suppose. These kinder and gentler sea urchins are a delicacy and their roe? are eaten soon after they are plucked from clean and hospitable sea waters. Unlike their nightmare causing cousins, the black sea urchins with sharp needle-like spines that can be 8-10 inches long, these softer sea urchins are less painful to look at and for some, better eating. Actually, I noticed they are actually quite stunning on closer inspection as the natural intensity of their colored spines is something you only see in really natural creatures or things.

They kindly split one open for me to try.  swaki3You basically scoop the soft edible portion from the inside of the shell with your fingertips and pop it into your mouth. It has a definite clean taste of the sea, but oddly sweet when you expect a seriously salty flavor. It was very good. Probably an acquired taste for most, this swaki is perhaps the equivalent of say caviar for those on the banks of the Caspian sea… It was unlike the uni or sea urchin that you eat at top flight Japanese restaurants…I’m told that is because it is a different variety of sea urchin.
