    Sea urchin sushi.

    Thoroughly unrecommended.

    It was like someone boiled the souls of a thousand fish down into a paste and then let it ferment underground for a year. I was not prepared.

    For the record it was part of a set multi course meal in a fancy Japanese restaurant - I didn’t seek it out in particular.

      Strange. I’ve only been able to have it once. I found it to be buttery, with a mild taste, about as fishy as salmon. I really enjoyed it.

        Maybe there was a translation issue, but there were a dozen or more of us at the dinner and almost all of us found it unpalatable. A couple asked ‘what the last dish we had was’ when the next dish came out and were told it was sea urchin.
