Sea Urchin Paste

A frozen prepared seafood paste made for hot pot and soup, with sea urchin folded through the base. If you know prawn paste, this is its softer cousin: finer, more yielding and gentler in texture, with a quiet sweetness from the urchin rather than a strong briny hit.

You spoon it straight into boiling broth and it sets into shape on its own. No defrosting, no shaping, no binding — which is exactly what you want when the pot is already on the table and everyone is hungry.

Why Choose Our Sea Urchin Paste?

• Soft, fine texture: noticeably more tender and delicate than standard prawn or fish paste.
• Gentle sea urchin flavour: sweet and rounded, present without dominating the broth.
• Absorbs the soup: it takes on the flavour of whatever base you are cooking in.
• Holds together: sets cleanly in the pot instead of dispersing into the broth.
• Straight from frozen: no thawing, scoop and drop.

How To Cook It:

• Hot pot: no need to thaw fully. Scoop into balls with a spoon and slide into boiling broth. They are done when they float and are cooked through.
• In soup: the same method in a clear chicken or fish broth, with greens.
• Steamed: spoon onto a plate, steam 8-10 minutes, finish with soy and spring onion.
• Stuffed: use it to fill tofu puffs, capsicum or mushroom caps before simmering.

Storage:
Keep strictly frozen at -18°C. Take out only what you need and return the rest immediately.

Product Note:
This is a prepared frozen paste made with sea urchin, not whole sea urchin roe. For whole roe, see our Port Phillip Bay uni.
