Did you make that? It looks good!

Yup, it's seafood congee with sea urchin and scallops.

They de-shell and clean the sea urchins for you at the farmers market, so I didn't have to do any of that.

Can you describe the taste of the Urchin JP? I love scallops and really love rice which I think I see there and any soup so might wanna try this?
[/quote]
Yes.

WELL????? Puts fist thru screen 2 punch JP in the nose

What? You asked me if I can describe it, and I can. So I said yes.

It's kind of hard to describe, since it's really unlike anything else.

It's definitely salty like the sea (the same way oysters are salty). It's basically the reproductive organs of the sea urchin, so it has a slight fish egg like feel and flavor to it.

The last two I got from this place has had a bit of sweetness to it.

Avoid the red stuff though (which they usually wash off, but bits and pieces may be left behind), those taste nasty.

Or come to San Diego on a weekend, and I can take you to a farmers market that has them (Tuesday afternoons work too, other than that I'm usually working).

I've never had an oyster, hmmm the reproductive organ part sounds kinda

I'm sure I'd dig the FMarket they typically have great things to see

& buy.

Will try to plan a visit some time!

HOLD ON, you've never had an oyster?? When I wasn't a veggie, I loved those!! You should try them!
