I finally tried uni for the first time last week. Went to H Mart while on vacation in NYC.
It wasn’t bad… I liked the creamy texture, but the sea/salt flavor was a bit overwhelming when eaten by itself. I liked it better with the salmon and nori (not pictured). I’d definitely try it again, but mixed with other stuff.

I like uni with nori and some sushi rice, uni also goes well with pasta/udon!!
I love going to H Mart.
so it must’ve been an unique experience so far
Try it with ika, my favorite combo
What you ate and what is pictured is B grade and lower mixed grade Santa Barbara Uni. You probably purchased it for around $20.
I would humbly suggest you not determine your like/dislike for Uni until you try at least A or AA grade Uni that isn’t already falling apart.
The particular supplier of that Uni is known for low quality.
24,99 USD or CND is a steal for that much Uni.
I had some while on vacation and it was mild, firm and delicious. You never know. Congrats on joining our club of elites.
My guy. You got uni from hmart. I wouldn’t like it either 😂
I had Uni one time after learning about it from Anthony Bourdain. I was SO excited. It tasted like the bottom of the ocean to me; a fishy, tart, rancid taste. I have a feeling it wasn’t the freshest uni I could have tried?
Next time you’re in NYC, make a reservation at Sushi Nakazawa
