I went on an uni quest this weekend, and I did not score. I am so sad. On christmas day I went to 99 ranch market (huge chinese market) and i saw they had uni on sale for 9.99 for a 50g pack. I said, no thank you, Matsuwa (japanese market) will have it on sale for 5.99 starting tomorrow for a 60g pack. So I go down there bright and early on the 26th and they had a sign that said no uni due to weather. I was so sad. Then there is a rumor that there is uni cream sauce for pasta, and I could not find it. I found salted cod roe pasta sauce (bought that), tuna mayo pasta sauce, spicy roe pasta sauce, salted plum pasta sauce, no uni cream pasta sauce.
I may have to order from Catalina island and have them next day a few live ones in for me.
