Yup I did!

I just looked up on wikipedia:"In cuisines around the Mediterranean, Paracentrotus lividus is often eaten raw, with lemon.......In Chile, it is served raw with lemon, onions, and olive oil.....in Maine, sea urchins are known as whores' eggs. It was formerly a delicacy in the Orkney Islands, used instead of butter (see? I told you guys about the butteryness!)......In New Zealand, Evechinus chloroticus, known as kina in Maori, is a delicacy, traditionally eaten raw......In Japan, sea urchin is known as uni (ウニ?), and can retail for as much as $450/kg.; it is served raw as sashimi or in sushi, with soy sauce and wasabi."

I knew they ate uni in the Mediterranean, but didn't know a lot of other cultures did as well! I'm telling you guys, it's good!

I don't know if people eat stingray, and whaling is illegal now, but I know japanese eat them.
