scoop out the ovaries with a coupe-oursin it says, and eat them with nothing more than a drop of lemon juice. Or add them to an omelette.
I suspect that like most bizarre seafood the same effect can be got with much less hassle by simply savouring a teaspoon of estuarine mud

haha...an omelette- nothing like bringing it down a notch!
i wholeheartedly agree- they probably taste of grit and vaginal mucous.
2009-05-18 // 18:24:59 Jay you don't have to eat them at all if you don't want to! as for raw or cooked, I'll consult "North Atlantic Seafood" later on and find out....

i suppose not but i do like a challenge! you geek ;)
2009-05-18 // 14:51:33 Jay it's the urchins' raw sex organs what you eat once you've knocked the beaky bit out with a teaspoon...... apparently the french go quite gooey over the whole process

the french like sex organs however they come (no pun intended) so that doesn't altogether surprise me.. do you have to eat them raw? the beaky part is deeply sinister.
2009-05-15 // 14:54:15 Jay have you ever eaten them? I haven't plucked up the courage yet.... I'm waiting for carmen to pluck up the courage to visit and we'll get pissed and pluck up the courage to eat raw sex organs... you can come too, the more the merrier!

i haven't eaten them as it happens...they look a bit foul. I don't like their creepy beak like mouths...eating raw sex organs is easier...!!
