Black Sea Urchin
A local delicacy found in reefs on the Wilderness Coast. Available November through June, its roe is rich and complex — the diver's choice for premium sashimi. Black sea urchin offers a unique flavour profile that sits between the boldness of red and the subtlety of white, with mineral notes that reflect the deep reef environment.
Seasonality
Black Sea Urchin is in season from Nov - Jun. This is when the product is at its peak quality.
From Ocean to Table
Black urchins live in cooler waters on the Wilderness Coast that require experienced diving. Reiner's years of experience help locate the best specimens in these challenging conditions. The depth and water quality give this urchin its distinctive mineral complexity.
