It's a gift that keeps on giving. This if you know how it reproduces and how easy it is to create a sea urchin farm. Coconut of the sea. Good for you. Good for me.
Years ago I saw a documentary that talked about how sea otters in the Americas kept urchins in check. When otters were hunted for fur, urchins got out of hand and the kelp forests were devastated. With the otters repopulation, the kelp has a chance to grow again.
Yer missing out bud, I’ll tell you that. Had a buddy that was an urchin diver in San Diego. One time, he brought over 100 pounds of rejects from the packing plant and we ate em all in one night with wonder bread and corona. Shit was glorious! The kicker? I still couldn’t get enough. I miss eating em twice a week! I live in the Midwest now, and keeping up the habit would bankrupt me in weeks 😢 That, and monkfish liver. And oysters. Maybe I’m just obsessed with seafood- I’ll have to land a job on the coast again! Maybe I’ll work part time at a seafood restaurant for that sweet employee discount! Used to get 50-75% off at the last place I worked. Freakin prime rib and oysters every night baby!
Maybe it has good calcium? Maybe crush it and use it as some kind of feed for those animals that need to eat calcium or maybe fertilizer. When I eat an urchin, I keep the shell
They don't have a true brain. Just a ring of nerves that act as a nervous system. But any freshly killed animal (muscles) still twitch and move after the kill because the nerves will still be alive for a short while. For example a chopped up fresh octopus or squid still moves even though it's in small pieces
Those baby sea urchins are just adorable. I also think the adults are pretty cute. They almost looks fuzzy, although I know they aren't, and that they are actually spiky. Too bad their fate is to be cut open alive, and their innards scooped out...
It is a creature that can live inside out or outside in.. the reproductives gonads being their parasites. So I'm sure they are fine living without parasites. Or they get suicidal and blow themselves up? They look much like spiked mines. :p
Wooooow, while others enjoy those things, my jow drop and wonder how all these years they are plenty of them here at home and we didn't even think, I thought there are just creature with plenty of sharp niddle like thing and nothing inside them
