Would like to know of current uni sources. I usually just buy it from Fujiya, comes in the standard white plastic package with see through lid for $25.

Yamato Trading on Parker Street. Two blocks west of Fujiya.
They supply the uni to local restaurants (not 100% sure if fresh or frozen). It is a wholesale outfit, but they take cash sales. Open weekdays normal hours and saturdays until 2:00 pm? Place is owned by Canadians of Japanese origin.

Yamato told me they don't do retail (said it's coming, but not ready yet). They call you when they have it and you come in. Seems not very convenient to me (what if I dont plan to eat uni that day). Also they said they "get it from the plant". Doesn't sound like they process them in house which makes the fresh thing questionable.
Ended up picking up some live ones from Lobster Man. Got a male one that jizz out white sperm to boot. Cleaning it is pretty easy, just use a kitchen scissor and cut right around the bottom opening and scoop everything out. Seems to be the easiest way (thanks YouTube).
Ok so back to Yamato. Mayube jtrinh got it for $15 I have no clue but I called today and this is what they told me.
- They don't normally have it just laying around for you to walk in and grab
- You place an order and they call you when it's here or you can also pick a day for pickup
- It's $19 for a tray
That's all I got for now, placed an order for the 23rd, we'll see.
