Siesta Co. Sea Urchin Roe

Sea urchin roe, known as uni in Japan and erizo de mar in Spain, is one of the most sought-after products from the sea. Harvested from the reproductive organs of the sea urchin, it has been prized for centuries in coastal communities where fresh shellfish and seafood have long been central to the local diet.

Siesta Co. works with producers across Spain to highlight distinctive conservas and regional specialties. This tin features sea urchin roe, a product rarely encountered in the conservas world and far less common than sardines, mussels, or tuna.

Spain's Atlantic and Mediterranean coasts have a long tradition of harvesting sea urchins, particularly in regions such as Galicia and Asturias, where they are often enjoyed fresh during the winter season. Preserved sea urchin allows that tradition to be enjoyed year-round while offering customers a chance to experience one of the ocean's more unusual delicacies.

If you're interested in exploring beyond traditional conservas, sea urchin roe is one of the most distinctive products on the shelf.

Serve with warm rice, buttered toast, soft scrambled eggs, pasta, or good potato chips.
