Our Sea Urchin Wholesale (Strongylocentrotus spp.) is prized worldwide for its rich, buttery roe—known as uni—and vibrant ocean-sweet flavor. Divers harvest these urchins by hand from clean, cold-water habitats such as the North Atlantic and North Pacific, ensuring minimal impact on marine ecosystems.
Right after harvest, we sort and grade each urchin to guarantee consistent size and roe quality. Live urchins are packed with chilled seawater or seaweed to maintain freshness during transport. For uni roe, our team carefully extracts, rinses, and trays each lobe before rapid chilling to lock in natural color and briny sweetness.
Because we specialize in large-volume wholesale supply, seafood distributors, sushi restaurants, and luxury food markets can rely on stable quality, competitive pricing, and dependable cold-chain logistics for global deliveries. Sea Urchin Wholesale
