Suwaki is a type of sea urchin that can be eaten. They can be found where the sea is not that deep. They can mostly be found in seaweeds, the green one and the yellow one. There are different types of sea urchin but this is popular and even expensive when you want to order it. If you just want to try eating it, you should just order instead of searching by yourself. There are things you need to keep in mind if you want to find it by yourself.
Things you need to remember if you'll find a sea urchin.
- Of course, make sure it's not a small one or there will be nothing you can eat inside of it.
- If you want to search for yourself, go to the yellow seaweed, not the green one. Most suwaki can be found in the green and does not have any flesh or the edible part inside usually colored orange.
- If you found one, don't keep it longer in your hand because it can be itchy and sometimes stingy. We called that part of the suwaki to be itchy as a flower.
- They can be found under the seaweed hiding so you need to uncover the seaweed if you want to find one.
It might sound easy to find one since the ocean is so vast but actually it's not. Maybe because a lot of people are getting it when the seawater level is low. It can be found even if the seawater is high but you need to be a good swimmer because you need to stay longer under the sea.
What I'm telling you now is specifically searching for suwaki sea urchin. There are many types of sea urchins and they have different characteristics and also can be found. There are others that can be found under the sand and rocks. So the information I just said earlier was focused on suwaki only.
Sea urchins can be eaten raw or cooked. However, according to most people who have eaten it, they prefer the fresh one, even me. So you can find a lot of people eating along the shore. It can be tidy or annoying when eating it indoors because of the many things you need to clean inside of a sea urchin.
I have a video but let me write a step-by-step procedure on how to eat.
HOW TO EAT A SEA URCHIN
The key to enjoying fresh, delicious sea urchin, is to separate the orange meat from the internal walls of the spiny shell. These five orange pieces are actually the reproductive organs of the sea urchin. This is the edible one that most people love to eat.
- Cut a sea urchin into half.
- Remove or rinse what's inside until the five orange pieces are the only ones left.
- Dip it in seawater to make sure it's clean, however, don't use fresh water or else the taste of it will change or will not be delicious anymore.
- You can either remove the five orange pieces by using a spoon and dip them in vinegar or you can place the vinegar inside the cleaned shell sea urchin.
- Pair it with rice and then add a little bit of vinegar to an emptied shell to satisfy yourself.
Note: Don't sip the remaining liquid in an emptied shell or you'll itch yourself. Don't ignore it because it will feel like burning your lips.
It's just easy to do it if you have an idea how to do it.
