    You can see some areas of the rock underwater where it's been stripped of all algae. The purples will eat into the rock if there's nothing else to feed on.

      @masamunesword Год назад +1

      This is a classic Korean dish called gyeranjjim. The base dish is very simple to make:
      1/2 cup prepared dashi or any other sort of soup stock you like
      2 eggs
      1 green onion, chopped with white and green parts separated
      Sesame oil
      Beat the eggs and stock together until smooth. Mix in the white parts of your green onion into the egg mixture. Pour your egg mixture into a heat proof vessel and lower that vessel into a simmering pot of water that has a tight fitting lid. Put the lid on, steam for eight minutes, stir the eggs and add the green parts of the green onion on top, steam for another four minutes, remove, then top the now cooked eggs with sesame oil. If you want it just like theirs, also top with uni, kelp chili crisp, and soy sauce.

  • @VCheckItOut

    Wow. Cool video. Found half dozen of small and 1/2 dead purple urchins at low tide today in SoCal. Thinking of heading north for them urchins to try for the first time. Do you recall what was the low tide on the Sea Urchin Festival day? Thanks.

    • @catchncookcalifornia1574
      @catchncookcalifornia1574  9 месяцев назад +1

      Right on. I believe it was a -1.2 but they can be found on tides lower than -0.8. I suggest bringing waders though as they are a bit deeper than mussels and also pick days with the calmest swell forecast to be safe!

  • @michael22414
    @michael22414 Год назад +1

    I've been wanting to go out this year but haven't found a good low tide day or location that I know of (other than the one obvious one). Sea Urchin are so invasive I just wish people would be more open about sharing locations that are easy to help harvest.

    • @catchncookcalifornia1574
      @catchncookcalifornia1574  Год назад +3

      Freediving in the shallows for them will also open a lot of opportunities when the tides are not right. New videos on this coming soon. Van Damme, Fort Ross, but really just anywhere on rocky reef from Sonoma Coast and north.

    • @catchncookcalifornia1574
      @catchncookcalifornia1574  4 месяца назад

      You can try the south side of Van Damme. The abalone you were seeing are supposed to be sub-tidal and have now migrated into the high intertidal to find the last remaining seaweed. They are some of the last holdouts of the abalone population. These are also now extremely vulnerable to poaching as they are often visible at low tide.

    @KI-dc9ok Год назад

    Nice recipe. Similar to Japanese chawanmushi. Say Dr. K is there a season when the uni is at it's fullest. I've harvested when they all seem empty and thought it was seasonal. Are you saying that a different cluster may be full while others are empty?

    • @catchncookcalifornia1574
      @catchncookcalifornia1574  Год назад

      Interesting! They seem to be fullest in the Fall/Winter but I find good ones year round especially when diving. The fullest tend to be wherever there is still some kelp for them to eat. The short answer is I am noticing patterns but still need to gather more data.

  • @jogosfishing701
    @jogosfishing701 Год назад

    Is there a good way to preserve uni longer term? Like a week or more? I love getting out to the coast and sharing the bounty when i get home to the mountainsof eastern nevada, but uni has mostly been an on the spot thing when i go.

    • @catchncookcalifornia1574
      @catchncookcalifornia1574  Год назад +1

      Not that I know of. I tend to think of it as a 3-day-maximum shelf life. I know they ship it to Japan in alum though so maybe if left in Alum solution it is ok? I do not know though. I have not tried freezing it in water but maybe I will in the near future to see if that works.

    • @catchncookcalifornia1574
      @catchncookcalifornia1574  Год назад +1

      Not sure. Perhaps they figure some are needed to feed the wildlife? 35 per day for foraging, 40 gallons per day for diving (but only in Sonoma, Mendocino and Humboldt Counties).

      Agreed! With no salmon season due to drought and wildfire conditions decimating their offspring in the ever-warming rivers it is ever more apparent that we need to step up as a community and act as ambassadors of the resources we care so much for!

      Nope! Not at all since they eat seaweed and not plankton. They are safe year-round.
