Do you eat those sea urchins alive? That's the way my wife's family eats them, fresh from the sea. There are a bunch of black sea urchin beds right off the shore near their home. You go out in a banca and dive down and pick them up (carefully) by the dozens. Then, cut them open with a bolo, pull that little booger out, wash it in sea water, and eat it alive. My wife advised me not to eat them because my stomach wasn't accustomed to it, so I passed. But it was fun watching everyone else pigging out.
OOPS! Sorry, I didn't mean to make you hungry.
