For any uni lovers, there is now (finally!!) a live urchin boat at Steveston warf. Prices *very* reasonable....$10 for 3 big reds or 5 greens...and he will usually throw an extra or 2 in, especially if late in the day. The uni is in fantastic condition right now...big, firm, sweet pieces, fresh out of the ocean, spines still wiggling. He (Kuroshio boat) seems to be there most Saturdays, perhaps Sundays; he comes out of Victoria. You could always call him at 250 812 1252 to check when he will be there if you are thinking of making the trip. We just made about 10 inari cones and I'm still buzzing.
