Storage

Superfrozen upon packaging. Store in conventional freezer, for best results and to reduce chance of oxidization (color change) please consume immediately or within 1-2 weeks.

Do not refreeze. FYI-- we love using our forgotten thawed uni for a creamy pasta sauce!

Defrosting

Defrost in controlled refrigerated temperature (28-32 degrees fahrenheit) for 6-12 hours or until texture reaches your desired preference.

Pro Tip: Place near the back of the refrigerator so temperature remains more controlled despite repeated opening/closing of the refrigerator door.

Riviera Seafood Club's Wild-Caught Uni, also known as Sea Urchin, is sustainably and responsibly wild-caught in Mexico, USA, Canada, or Japan. Uni presents a deep, rich ocean flavor and is very high in umami flavor as well; it is complemented by a delicate, creamy, and buttery texture. Our Sea Urchin is of the highest quality sashimi grade delivering an unrivaled flavor profile with a softly-sweet brine on the finish.

All orders of Wild-Caught Uni (Sea Urchin) are individually packaged and shipped using express overnight delivery. Each 100 gram tray packs 10-15 roe are hand caught by divers off the Pacific coastal waters from Canada, California and Mexico and delivered to your table in two days (one day for processing, one day for delivery). Uni is an extremely delicate seafood. In order to guarantee our freshness, each shipment is packaged securely to maintain proper temperatures. If you are intending to consume the seafood raw, do not freeze as this will ruin the integrity of the uni.We guarantee that our wild-caught uni (sea urchin) is the best quality that you can find, perfect for sushi, sashimi.

Time your defrost process to a couple of hours before your meal for the optimal outcome.

Yes and no. Yes, you can refreeze it for a future cooking preparation. No, if you plan on using it for raw preparation.

Yes! We suggest that most super-frozen products may be stored in a conventional freezer for up to 2 months upon usage.

The United States is late to the game... Many countries, including Japan, depend on this technology to assure minimal loss in quality and maximum gain in shelf life.

Very sweet

Two trays. They arrived frozen and dark-colored but quickly defrosted in the fridge and became normal-colored.One tray was more watery than the other, but both were super sweet and very good. I will buy again.
