Is there like a broth you can do with them, in milk or something? I had it once and it was f***ing delicious.

I had them in beer batter once at a very special little fish restaurant and they were lovely, raw the best bit is the Tabasco sauce not nice

Scallops are a better fish to eat. 

Gently fried in butter, non garlic for me, I want to taste the fish

Could never see the fascination of eating sea urchins either.  Just messy and tasteless imo.

Cod roe is another thing I didnt like

I worked on a oyster farm in southern Ireland what c**t of a job waist high in water shaking oyster bags in storms and all sorts.. Hands down one of the hardest jobs I ever done. If the wind blew the bag in the air the crill would cut the face off ya then the salt water would burn the cheeks off ya for the rest of the day

Spent many years working on fish farms.  You should try bleeding 60 tonne of salmon, around 10kg, and them flapping and jumping. That's where you see cuts and bits of fingers going missing
