Whole urchins, opened by hand to show the roe intact. The lobes are plump and glossy, with the creamy, briny character that makes this one of the most sought-after things in the sea.

Why You'll Love It

• Roe left whole and undamaged inside the shell
• Rich, creamy texture with a clean ocean finish
• Packed on ice so it arrives ready to serve
• A centrepiece that needs no cooking at all

In The Kitchen

Spoon the lobes straight from the shell over ice, or lay them on warm rice, a chilled oyster, or a plate of fresh pasta. Keep the seasoning light — a little citrus, a little flaky salt and a thread of good olive oil is all it wants.

Storage

Keep refrigerated at 0–4°C and eat the same day it arrives. Do not refreeze once thawed.
