Eva Danii what dose that have to do wth anything your kinda degrading your race showing they don’t try or can’t upgrade their jobs and end up working the same terrible/low pay job their whole lives
who was the first human to go out in the sea, pick this spiky thing, ram it open and eat its inner bits
rai x eat it’s sex organs* lmfao I’m wondering the same thing though
Someone who saw how much sea otters loved to eat them.
Me.
Oh my God I never thought of that
rai x oml this had me thinking who was the first to discover milk??
"This is really therapeutic.."
Employees that overheard her: *Inner eye rolls*
If only they speak english
I don't get it...
When did she say that?

@@Andrea_JW bc the other employees have been doing it for 8h a day sometimes for years and at that point its not very therapeutic anymore
Stepped on a sea urchin and was limping for 2 weeks. They finally broke apart on their own. These days im going to the Japanese restaurant to eat 2 portions of them as a revenge
British Entertainment Well I mean, YOU stepped on THEM. So it’s their way of revenge
I get a spike under the finger nail harvesting them while diving .
Very unlucky.
However i get to enjoy the contents .
I go through dive gloves often.
Just part of uni collecting.

The amount of years the employees stayed there (37 & 40 years) says a lot how wonderful of an employer that Japanese guy is
Lex Sao Paolo Actually yes, most of the time, people stay those long years (sometimes close to dedicating their whole work lives) because of how the management treats them. Good governance will let people stay
The guy looks 40 at most.
@@jvvalencia861 um, No.
People create their own c.v while working.
If the Worker shows promise or trainability the employer will up skill them and create a better work coverage in case a more advanced employee takes leave. It's all about production and the availability of a skilled crew. Management makes sure of this to keep a quality product rolling out the door. Nothing else.
Bosses take courses on people skills, management skills all kinds of skills but the main reason is to keep themselves off the floor so they can focus on quality and maintaining clients.
People are just walking dollar signs. Your importance is based on your colour sign....bronze to platinum.
@@ageless2001 Uhm, I don't totally agree, maybe to some of your points, but not most of it. Employees can leave anytime, they can file a resignation in case they find a better opportunity, the greener pastures as they say. They are not bound to work for one company for a long time, even contracts end. But these people stayed and became loyal to the employer for almost/equal to 4 DECADES, in which I suppose, he treats them well in terms of salary and benefits.
@Lex Sao Paolo if the employer sucks they won't have the dedication
Workers:*literally slaving away to do this damned job*
Woman: ThIs Is ReAlLy ThErApEuTiC
Oh god, you have a very cursed pfp
These people have no idea what "slaving away" is. I work 96-120 hours a week LOL.

Sea urchin is really good, when me and my mom lived in Hawaii, we used to go out during low tide with a cooler and fill it up. Pour over some freshwater to kill them and crack them open with a spoon. With some soy sauce and lemon 🤤 good times.
Love being Palauan 🤞🏽
I wanna try some
Damn girl we can eat sea urchin in Hawaii?
BlessedHawaii yes they look different from those. They’re not a endangered species or native to Hawaii. Lol.
That sounds super good, I really wanna try it sometime

I'm glad I live in New Zealand where I can go down to the beach and pick some sea urchin, and not spend $80 on sea urchin wtf
My family catches heaps of kina at our marae. Never knew they were also called sea urchin 😂 too bad they taste horrible to me lmao
Yea well on the west coast of the USA you can get them on the beach I believe. Idk why sea food is hella expensive in the USA
Stop bragging colonizer.
Same. Philippines here.
You can tell whose been eating kina/ uni
The consumer can't help but drop kina wind and blow about it.
I've seen videos of divers harvesting sea urchin but never the processing. This was very interesting to me. Great series...love the host. 👍
Same! I don't like most hosts for TV shows/ otherwise, especially nowadays they're more show than anything else. She's really friendly, well informed, willing to get into it and dirty herself and doesn't make it mainly about her but about the subject!
@@wolfylover4ever Couldn't agree more. She did a really nice job.
I can not eat too much of it since i a little allergy to it.
Woah look, sea rambutans!
🤣🤣🤣🤣
More like durians, since 'duri' literally means 'spikes/thorns'
@@thefreeburningspirit nah durians are pretty Big, the sea urchins look more like Rambutans to me
LOLLLLL
Ywa ka talaga boii hahaha
Chef Katie is awesome. I love the fact that in all of these episodes shes way out of her element in terms of experience, but shes still willing to jump in and learn how the process of making great things is done.
I looove this food, here in chile isn't that expensive, we eat them with lemon juice, salt, purple onion and perejil. On top of a piece of toasted bread, ITS DELICIOUS
Fresh sea urchin is the best. I live near the beach, and when it's low tide we just bring cooked rice and sit on the beach while eating it. We open the sea urchins, take out its meat, and eat it straight in our mouths. Sometimes we add vinegar and pepper.
that sounds fun! mind if I join u guys 😂
Filipino?
Ahhh the beach life in the Philippines
Yikes that is disgusting... I can't imagine a pinoy burrowing into your rectal walls... :(
What beach is it?
I have eaten it raw, in the shell, with buttered baguette and lemon and thought I’d died and gone to heaven. This was about 40 years ago. Enter sushi restos and my tastebuds are happy once again. Thanks for sharing!
Now I'm even more interested in trying this
Wow. I feel so jealous. I watched a UA-cam video the other day on how to prepare it at home, I hope to be able to do so one day!!
“NOOO YOU CANT JUST EAT ME!! I GREW SPINES TO PREVENT THAT SPECIFIC THING FROM HAPPENING!!!”
“haha uni go brrrr”
😐
Haha shovel thing got thwack thwack
😐
I’m glad that the sea urchins are being used for food. They love to eat kelp in California, and because of their over consumption of kelp, the forest are depleting. So by eating these little guys, humans help keep them in check, which also helps maintain the growth of the kelp forest for other forms of wildlife. I want to try uni!!! 😄
Correct. They're the rats of the sea. But a very delicious rat. 😂
This reminds me of my childhood 😍 we used to dive and harvest them split them open and eat them with salt onion and bread
You got a weird childhood-- (*sorry*)
That’s incredible I wish I did that
@@rein44_ you clearly weren't raised right if you like gacha. Sea urchins are normal in a lot of places in the world.
@@mumenrider8329 people have opinions

RobertAmielle ikr but they are gonads (sex organs) but tell me what kind of creature has sex organs in its mouth.
I love how she shows so much respect to him and the uni!
Her respect reminds me of Gordon Ramsay's. She may not have gone to sea to catch the urchins, but she was still willing to learn how to clean and gut them as Gordon would do in some of his videos.
As a kid, whenever we went to the beach, my uncle would dive and scoop these out of the sea floor. He would eat it and I would be so grossed out by it. When I started dining out in Japanese sushi restaurants, a friend ordered this and I had to try it out of curiosity. Since then I was hooked!
Back when I was 4 my mom and I lived in japan and we went to a urchin festival and ate so much! It was so yummy
Love this presenter, I think this is one of my favourite Eater videos. Would love to see more of her :)
daniomnom I was just going to comment the same thing! She was so easy to watch and listen to. Looking forward to more videos with Katie!
this is one of my favourites omg (not the processed one, but the one that you eat right out of the shell)!!! i remember me and my family going out to the sea in low tide, bringing a table, and eat this in the middle of the sea (which is probably like 3 inch deep) THIS IS MAKING ME SO HUNGRY
What sea is 3 inches deep in the middle wtf
Even from a video you can see how genuine this guy is. He would act the same around anyone in the world.
Am I the only one who thinks they look like yellow tongues
Thats why I clicked on the video. Ive never tried it I just was disgusted and interested
Its the gonads of the sea urchin
Cassius yeah I think you are the only person in the world who thinks they look like yellow tongues
Cassius 😂
yeah, you're the only one. no one else sees the resemblance
I stepped on one of these in Mexico, worst experience of my life
soph ondrusik then? what happened? 😂
You should kill and eat it after that
myra961 it was literally stuck in my foot and the resort doctors had to cut super deep into my foot to get it out, so I was missing a chunk of skin and couldn’t swim the rest of the week lol rip
@@sophondrusik9712 you should've eaten it in revenge lol
eri139 😆
Lol - I love these videos, I love knowing where food comes from! It's just hilarious to me that the comments on the Caviar video are like "Oh no! They're killing the fish!" but on here there's none of that. it's the same thing, these are people who know what they're doing and do it well. So thankful to be able to learn about this!
I had this when I was in Egypt . OMG the most amazing thing I ever ate in my life. I cant explain how delicious it is ,no words could describe it .
Bless that man Roberto
Mother: what do you wanna be when you grow up?
Me: *Sea urchin cutter*
Cool to see this video, processing sea urchins was my first job in the 🇺🇸 (Northern California)
I can eat them because I know how to pick them but I would not describe them as delicious even if they are premium quality. Most people would spit them out unless they grew up eating them. I enjoyed this video.
Love that this was filmed in Long Beach. Born and raised!!
Awesome video. That guys running a pretty fine business there.
I've tasted it fresh from the sea,it was so creamy and an overall great taste.oh and I want that sea urchin opener
I am still trying to acquire a taste for these. I've tried it a couple of times and I will keep trying because I don't know if I have tried it in the right place. Then again, it took me a few times to get the taste for Ikkura. Now I love it.
There are some islands you could go to in the Philippines where you could literally buy a live sea urchin from a fisherman, have it opened, and eat it straight out of the shell for less than a dollar. Some even lower than 30 cents per sea urchin
In NZ, Maoris hobbies include diving for seafood (most of the time it's for kinas) and we eat it straight out of the shell while still in the water or on the rocks 😂
natasha haira hard 😂 it’s weird for them to be so clean they keep washing it in the water like whaaaattt
thought I was the only newzealand and maori here
This was the comment I was looking for
3:16
lmaooo when she dipped it in the water before she ate it.
🤮🤮🤮🤮
Err... I feel like there's nothing wrong about it?
@@noelle1030 the water is filthy.
@@yourmotherdoesntapproveofy6827 the water was... _f-filthy?_
Time to go to the bathroom again
but it's saltwater...? they also packaged the them in that same water??
Yummmm I LOVE sea urchin! I just dove for some the other day, they're delicious!!
So buttery! Urchin is my fave!
Urchin is the butter of the ocean. Mud crab is the bacon of the sea.
Put them together and you have unlocked a road to HEAVEN!
i went to their maruhide uni club restaurant and had the uni pasta and it was divine!
I'm so happy there's a interviewer who had experience before and has actually a deeper interest in the food than just a pretty face that you see way too often on other series.
"How am i doing"
The guy "ok"
Her "too slow"
You're right!!!
It's easy to go in to a restaurant and eat it.
But it's awesome how is the process behind a good food.
Well, I don't think I want to eat that, but it's interesting.
Hi from Monterrey Mexico 💕
Reminds me of my family’s farm in the Philippines, I would go to the beach nearby during low tide with a water tumbler and a fork. My mission was to fill up the water tumbler but I used to eat it as soon as I cracked it open😂
This is awesome, been wanting to know the standard price for premium uni from suppliers.
This channel is amazing. They get what we want to see.
Learnd to eat and use it in Japan, I love it.
Sea urchin couldn’t look less appetising. Amazing when you finally break into it though.
They’re soo expensive gheez. I’m so happy that I have family that loves to dive for seafood for fun.
Am Filipino and when I went to the Philippines my uncle caught me one right out of the ocean and it was amazing it tastes better than anywhere I can’t get around my area
Sanaol
Thank you for the info loved watching it. 😁
I couldn't work there, I'd keep eating the product out of the baskets. XD
Omg SAS would love this!
Even if i havent try sea erchin it looks so delicious
You can tell this dude is a super chill boss.
I want to eat alllllllllll of them
It isnt that tasty
It is.
Its nasty
I could only eat one piece of uni or else it would be too much for me, it’s basically like bitter butter.
Go to Indonesia, I saw numerous of it on the sea.
This was an awesome episode. The process is so tedious and I love uni! Thank you. 🤗
I tried eating it alive

Incredible taste, for me thats the best caviar in the world. In the north of Spain we boild the sea urgeons a bit in water, salt and bay leaf and we have them with apple cider (alcoholic) or white wine. I love them.
I love this and lots of it in my place when i was a boy.
If I work there I definetly would snack on some of these, one for me and then one for the box
She looks a lot like Amy Schumer.
She does.. and I’m so happy she is not.

Awesome stuff real cool to see it done to that point. 👍
I dont know why but these sea foods are delicious. Like once you taste it you'll have a craving for it in life
1:12 dont tell me that the sound editing was not intentional to match the lady's hand work..

Next step on the line is cleaning the last bits of inpurity

So lucky they grow everywhere around New Zealand. Yumm
I love this kind of vids . On the point , lovely , not droning on for hours , simple , funny , educational . Great job from this team !
In Santa Barbara we had so many sea urchin boats. It was fun watching them come in with their harvest. In my language we call those maratangtang.
And your language is?
@@ABCantonese It's Ilocano, a Filipino language.
In Bahasa its called Bulubabi

Babi? Does sea urchin get compared to pork or is it a coincidence and I'm not reading it right?
I don't know bahasa, but I know nasi babi is pork rice.
3:30... She was about to vomit.
3:40 they even skipped the shot and she did not even take the second bite... she was faking it
@@RaymondLo84 it literally went in her mouth but ok
Lol, it does look like she didnt eat the 2nd one
I think I saw her keep it in her hand. At somewhere around 3:40 where she is chewing you can tell she is faking the chewing process. Because I don’t think you swallow it that quickly.
Eat your Vegetables
You don’t really need to “chew” uni, it’s very soft and falls apart in your mouth. I eat uni the exact same way.
Cool I enjoyed that ride I'm from Florida but I have never eaten sea urchins I will now I've seen plenty of them when I was snorkeling now that I know how they are prepared I'm all over it😁👍
This so great behind the scenes.

Years ago I used to dive to harvest this from the sea bed near the Tema harbour in Ghana. We mostly catch them on the rocks were old ships have been left
4:25 thinking about 5 minutes ago how she ate one that wasnt fully cleaned
There's really no danger other than the fact you're eating its guts and it makes it real bitter.
That’s really satisfying
I've never eaten this and most likely won't ever try it but I love this video
An amazing process tfs!
Tasting Uni locally is absolutely horrible, however when I tasted Uni in Japan was amazing like butter completely different in taste.
We used to eat that when I was a little, I mean a kid when I was still in our province in Zambales and I remember we call it maritangtang. Now that I know how much it cost, at least I can say that I am proud and I can still remember the taste of it, same way the reporter describes its taste.
I really wanna try one of these fresh. I've never tried them before.
The yellow stuff is actually the sea urchin's sex organs.
Do you have a point?
Protocol Officer This is the COMMENT section, comments don't need points.
KarklesWhitevans thats a good point
KarklesWhitevans 🙄
they should have explained what that actually was... i thought for a second he said it was the tongue, but that made no sense. So sea urchin's have 5 "sex organs"?
Chef Katie: this is premium? **eats it**
Owner thinking "you gonna pay for that? you couldn't eat the cheap one?"
I love this. From Hawaii
I ate it once in Chile. An amazing taste as it feels like melting butter in your tongue.
I remember trying it when i was little i thought it was some kind of goo with the taste of Soy sauce and salt it was good though
I remember when I went to the beach at the Philippines and stepped on one of those 😫
U lucky its not a stonefish
grew up in Portugal. Dad would fish for these, crabs, clams .. we made a fire on the beach & enjoyed fresh seafood. the Uni i lived for & didnt wait for the beach party. i ate them as soon as dad caught them.
Legend has it that she is still enjoying this therapeutic uni session to this day.
As amazing the video is, I am more amazed how fluent the japanese guy speaks english. 😊
"This is therapeutic." Not so much for the sea urchin.
They don't have eyes or anything they cant even feel it
When did she say that
@@pashaputrasupriatna4596 at about 0:05. It was the very first thing she said.
@@corr4927 Why do you think having eyes makes the difference between feeling pain or not.
Also, whether they feel it or not, they still die.
Not saying it's wrong to kill urcins, just that it is not therapeutic.
"This is sweet.. Like salty.. ".. I salute her🤣🤣
Wow! So big sea urchin!my favorite 😋 yummy
