> Dan, you've been here a long time. Do you mean uni or the whole sea urchins? Do they sell live sea urchins in the Boston fish markets like they used to do in the Italian fish markets in NYC? I love fresh uni but it is hard to find out here in the desert. There is an uni specialty restaurant in southern Cal, I forgot exactly where. I'll have to try it the next time I'm out that way.

I haven't been to any of the fish markets lately.. its been a long time.
I recall having live sea urchin about 5 years ago at a restaurant, but
most sushi places don't serve it that way.

Depending on the season, uni comes from Maine.. so getting live uni could be
as easy as visiting some markets in Maine. Never thought of doing that..
