Our commitment to quality and freshness means that we meticulously pack and prepare every order on the day of shipping. We ship from our location on Holyoke Wharf in Portland, Maine's historic Working Waterfront (416 Commercial St, Holyoke Wharf, Portland, ME).

Water Packed Uni - Preservative Free

Our fresh uni is packed in a salt-water brine which means zero added preservatives or hardening agents. When you receive your uni, slowly drain the water off and enjoy.

Another added benefit of shipping uni in salt water is that it ships much more securely. In our experience, shipping uni on wooden trays get easily bashed and broken.

The uni we offer at SoPo is the highest grade quality available from our processor - Grade A.

Processed in Maine

Our Sea Urchin Roe (Uni) is harvested primarily by divers along the coast of Maine. The urchins are then processed by hand in Portland (on the wharf next door to us). Once processed, the delicate lobes of uni are packed in a salt-water brine. This brine avoids the need for preservatives and hardening agents!

Maine Sea Urchin Season

The Maine urchin season runs from September through to March, with a peak during the winter.

When the Maine season finishes, sea urchins are then sourced from Canada for the month of April.

What does Uni taste like?

This is a very common question. High-quality, fresh Sea Urchin Roe harvested in Maine should have a buttery, sweet, and fresh flavor. You will get some hints of ocean brininess but nothing that could be considered overpowering.

Description

The Maine sea urchin season ended in March. We are currently sourcing urchins from Canada. The Canadian season will end soon, and then we will offer Uni again in September when the Maine season reopens.

Google Review: "My order arrived without delay to California overnight. The Maine uni was sweet and extremely fresh. I will be ordering again in the near future. Nice work!" - Deborah M

Fresh Uni is a delicacy that is enjoyed widely in sushi and is becoming a more popular ingredient in other seafood dishes. Uni is a fantastic sauce for pasta and is delicious on toast.

Our fresh uni is avaliable to order online for overnight delivery to your door. 

Uni does not freeze well at all and we do not recommend freezing.

Our uni is premium Grade A quality packed in a salt-water brine. Saltwater avoids the need for preservatives and maintains top quality.
