OMG I wish I could take a trip like that. I LOVE salmon roe. Most people don't like it bc of the amount of oil and the pop. I love it! Do you cure your salmon roe or eat it right out of the fish? I'm used to the super briny ones at the sushi places but there is this restaurant in Belmont Shore (Long Beach, CA) and they cure their own ikura and it was much sweeter than I've had before. It was excellent!
I've also seen uncured ikura at a japanese market in CA (very $$$!) still in the egg sac or whatever it's called. I wanted to buy but didn't know what to do with it. Or can you eat it just like that.
Also love salmon belly. Anything belly! It's the best part of any animal.
Do you guys have sea urchins up there? I would imagine they are everywhere but I hear San Diego to Santa Barbara are the best. I love sea urchin. That is what Uni's name means.
