Sea Urchin ^^
Describing the flavor of an urchin is very difficult. Imagine trying to describe the flavor of something to someone who’s never tasted anything like it. Tough, huh? Asking people what it tastes like provides us a clue, sort of. Most people say, “It tastes like the pure deep ocean,” or “It’s sweet deliciousness.” I know that doesn't tell much about how it actually tastes, but people do agree it’s delicious. Like in Siargao Island, Surigao del Norte, the sea urchin is so very delicious to eat and fun. Eating live urchin is dramatic. It’s cracked open for you and the spines are still moving about as you eat it. Yes, that’s right… it is STILL moving while you enjoy it. :) :)
