Oh, those chive dumplings... yeah, they are good, had some at dim sum the other week.
Well, I had the uni in San Diego at Nobu last month...

And it was fantabulous! I'm used to the already scooped out uni, which is plenty good, but the freshness just puts it over the top. Uni is sort of like foie gras of the sea, it's not that scary at all...
Never seen fresh uni anywhere here, but Shiro's in downtown Seattle might have it (though they are a bit pricy). Also, you can buy fresh uni from seafood markets in the Seattle Chinatown area, or thereabouts, at least from what I've read....
