Rinse the shell of the sea urchin and take out the beak (or the mouth) by inserting a sharp pair of scissors, grab, twist, and pull it out. This creates the opening for you to insert 2 spoons with the tips of the back against each other like this. Squeeze the top of the handles and it will crack the uni in half. Dump out the insides that is filled with digested kelp and pick out the leftover kelp that is stuck on gonads. Rinse it until the water comes out clear. You can use your spoon to pick out the gonads or if they’re loose, scoop ithem out with your hands gently. Wash off the uni and soak it in salt water for a few minutes. Scoop the uni onto a dry paper towel and enjoy!

Sea urchins are decimating the kelp forests of Central and Southern California largely due to climage change-related issues. So, eat those unis and take some of the pressure off this delicate biome!!
wow those look amazing!
Am I the only person who thinks this is disgusting?
Those look rotten
Use the same water you get them from if you are catching them yourself. The fresh water can destroy the taste

That takes too long, and why would you wash with water, your just washing the flavour off! just use the spoons to open, and scoop.
