I hadn't heard of the Sung Fish Company so I looked it up. It seems one of their specialties is red sea urchin roe. We were first introduced to sea urchin roe when we happened upon a festival devoted to it in the south of France. I think it was 2005. I do have a photo somewhere of Jim eating it. They crack it open for you and then you make a bit of a messy job eating it trying not to cut yourself on the spines. As I recall we had some of those on the street and then went for a special seafood lunch.
We've had it since in Vancouver as sushi. It was a lot easier to eat like that. It seems the Japanese are crazy about it and it's a real specialty. Well, the French were really going for it at this festival but we didn't really encounter it otherwise in France which is not to say it wasn't available.
