Premium Uni (Santa Barbara Sea Urchin)

Uni—the golden treasure hidden within every sea urchin—is one of the ocean’s most coveted delicacies. Revered by chefs and food lovers worldwide, it delivers a pure, ocean-fresh flavor and a delicate, custard-like texture that’s unlike anything else you’ll ever taste. Our premium Santa Barbara uni comes from the red sea urchin (Strongylocentrotus franciscanus), a long-spined species native to the northeastern Pacific, from Alaska down to Baja California. The waters off Southern California—particularly Santa Barbara—are celebrated for producing some of the finest uni in the world. Each urchin is hand-harvested by skilled divers from lush kelp beds at depths of up to 80 feet. The uni is then carefully extracted, preserving its natural beauty and exquisite form. Enjoying uni is an experience—one that feels both indulgent and unforgettable. Savor it straight from the tray, highlight it in dishes like crudo, nigiri, or chirashi bowls, or let it steal the show as a luxurious garnish on seafo
