It’s been almost 2 years since I had the most elusive of sea creatures (at least in my current home of Israel). When I saw these perched on a bed of ice at the San Miguel Market in Madrid, I happily turned over the €30. I probably would have paid double for them because it had just been so long.
The only way to eat warm uni is in pasta - add them to a nice, rich, cream sauce and then lay those perfect, beautiful tongues upon a bed of spaghetti with some bottarga and seaweed and eat that whole dish without coming up for air on a miserably cold NY winter day.
Dr Clark in Chinatown (NY) does it sooooo well for $25. Can totally fill one person up no prob.
