| Sea Urchin Roe in Brine (Conservas de Cambados)
Price: $58.95
Sea urchin is a gastronomic delicacy. Conservas de Cambados extracts, and cleans, the whole roe before gently placing it in the tin with its own pure sea water. It is often served plain so one can experience the delicate, natural, exquisite flavor and texture. Since the waters are cool in Galicia these urchins grow slower, are smaller, and have a more concentrated flavor than the uni you are familiar with out of California. The flavor is more similar to Japan's Hokkaido region than California's Santa Barbara area. Conservas de Cambados is based in Galicia in Northeast Spain. This is the region of the Arousa Rķa, which is well-known not just for its size, but also for the richness of its marine life. This area is particularly suitable for harvesting clams, cockles, mussels, and other bi-valves. The Spanish believe canned seafood is a delicacy to be shared and enjoyed! They take great pride, and great care, to harvest the best seafood and package it with the utmost care. The result is the purest, most delicate, and exquisite tasting seafood on the planet! A true delicacy.
