I cannot believe I have missed out on this article until now!!
(I just finished raving and ranting and drooling in the “cheese souffle” article about these uni shooters – haha. Sorree -
I wonder where I can buy fresh uni? Can I get them at a local fish market?
and how can I tell if uni is fresh or not? Is there a way without tasting them? lol
Thanks so much for this wonderful recipe – I will be sure to try this the first chance I get my hands on some fresh uni!!

Hi Jaden, that’s an amazing colorful picture, looks yummy but I can’t stomach uni. I had it, def an acquired taste, it had texture like buttery mush. I prefer raw salmon to uni.

We tried the Uni Shooters last night. In fact we had quite a few. The combination is right on but I preferred it with twice as much uni, 2 drops of hot sauce and only 1/2 teaspoon ponzu. On my palate the full tablespoon of ponzu completely covered the subtle taste of the uni and the egg yolk.

Good to know about Uni from Maine. I actually prefer the stuff from California anyway so that works out! This sounds like a nice light amuse bouche.
