Where and when to buy Sea Urchin (uni)?
As topic states...
I'm only aware of Steveston Fisherman's Wharf and Lobster Man on Granville Island.
But it seems it's in season, but can't find it anywhere. I called a number I found online and they said they won't be back at Steveston until Spring. Lobsterman doesn't have anything. I found ONE there a week ago.
Where do the Jap resturants get their live supply from?

angel seafood should carry it. u won't find it in the fridges (well since their fresh) so ull have to ask the cashier or one of the people working there about it.

^Agreed. Very incredibly messy and dirty inside. And feels awful cracking up a live animal to feed off its gonads.
It seem like most places that do sell (angel seafood and Sung Fish co) and suppliers to sushi places. Buying 1-2 sea urchin worth of prepared uni would be welcome?
