Description
 

We sell whole live purple sea urchins, Stronglycentrotus purpuratus, which are harvested off the coast of San Diego. They are held in our own tanks and there are approximately three to seven purple urchins per pound.

Our fresh and live seafood products are as fresh as you can get because we purchase directly from reputable fishermen in California and Baja California who take great pride in providing the highest quality seafood. The seafood is caught and immediately iced or brought to our live tanks until you order. We package it with care, keep it cold in insulated boxes and ship it overnight with FedEx so that it reaches your door fresher than the vast majority of most supermarkets and restaurants.

Very Fresh, Hard To Find Item January 8, 2010
Reviewer: Anonymous Person from North Carolina  
Extremely pleased with Catalina's products. I have ordered the Sea Urchins on multiple occasions and have never been dissapointed. Sea Urchins are enjoyed in our Italian family and the fact we can find this rare item online is tremendous. Always shipped with plenty of ice and newspaper for insulation in a foam chest. Thanks to COP and their consistent great service.

dead on arrival November 17, 2009
Reviewer: Anonymous Person from New Jersey  
these urchins were small (tennis ball sized) as advertised but DOA.  The spines were not protruding outward but rather angled towards the body as if shriveled up.  Also, one of urchins had cracked in the delivery process and the insides were all over the plastic bag.  The actual taste of the gonads was good for four out of the six urchins (yellow-orangy color as expected) but the others had turned a darker shade of orange (from being dead too long I'm guessing). I'll try the larger black urchins next time.
