SEA URCHIN.

SEA URCHIN. Sea urchin has a good reputation as a delicacy. This wikipedia article indicates that in Japan it sells for as much as $450 per kilogram. It was a featured special at the Oyster Bar when I tried it some 25 years ago.I picked it partly because I was raised to order items on a menu that I had never had before. I was also raised to finish everything on my plate, so I did, but I think that sea urchin is very much overrated.
