Sea urchins are small, globular, spiny sea creatures, composing most of class Echinoidea. They are found in oceans all over the world.  Sea urchins are an important fishery and are harvested for food. Contrary to popular belief, the portion of the sea urchin sold and served as one of the ocean’s most opulent treasures is not the roe. It is the gonads of this hermaphrodite sea creature that are scooped out of the urchin’s spiny shell in five custard-like, golden sections. Known in Japan as "uni" and traditionally considered an aphrodisiac, gonads are the only edible part of the urchin.
