white tray filled with lobes of uni sea urchin

Australian Uni (Sea Urchin)

$25.95

Product Details

Uni is the golden roe found inside sea urchin—one of the ocean’s most prized delicacies. Revered by chefs and food lovers worldwide, it delivers a clean, ocean-fresh flavor with a rich, custard-like texture.

Australian uni is harvested from long-spine (Centrostephanus rodgersii) and short-spine (Heliocidaris erythrogramma) sea urchins that are hand-harvested by divers off the Sapphire Coast of New South Wales. Offering consistent sizing and a natural wow factor, the uni lobes are firm and rich, with a clean, mildly sweet flavor reminiscent of Santa Barbara uni.

Enjoying uni is a unique experience 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 seafood pasta or risotto.

What to Expect

Handled with care and efficiency, this product is processed and shipped fresh from Australia within 48 hours of harvest. It is the same premium grade most often served in sushi bars and fine dining restaurants.

As with any uni, slight variations in color, texture, size, and piece count may occur from tray to tray. These differences reflect its wild provenance and seasonality.

The Fishery

Along the Sapphire Coast of New South Wales, Australia, long-spine sea urchin is hand-harvested by divers, enabling selective capture with minimal environmental impact. As an invasive species, supply is sustainably managed and driven by processing capacity and harvest quality rather than resource limitation.


Ingredients / Nutritional Facts
Sea urchin is a treasure trove of nutrients, boasting an impressive content of protein and dietary fiber as well as trace minerals such as zinc. Those in search of a more colorful meal can also count on its rich source of Beta Carotene, which it obtains from its kelp-based diet. Alongside these beneficial elements are vitamins C and A, typically found in dark leafy greens or winter squash that may further boost one's immunity levels - making sea urchin one of the ideal fatty seafoods to consume!
