Sea Urchin Cooking Class: Eat the Problem

Enjoy the sea urchin, an underappreciated delicacy in Australia



2.5 hours Class size 1 to 10 guests

With its creamy, sweet, and salty roe, sea urchin is stunning to eat but undervalued in Australia compared with the rest of the world. In southeastern Australia, they are present in plague proportions, wreaking havoc with marine environments. Hence, we're here to help you eat the problem in the most delicious way possible with a seafood cooking class using sea urchin.
What You'll Learn:
  • We're joined by urchin diver and expert Greg Finn to give us the lowdown on these delicious creatures.
  • Learn about the positive environmental impact of harvesting urchins.
  • Discover that urchin contains chemicals that have both muscle-relaxing and mood-elevating qualities.
  • Learn how to crack open an urchin with just two spoons.
What You'll Cook:
  • Pasta with sea urchin
  • Sea urchin chawanmushi
