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....

Ahh, yea you are right. The only place I know of that has uni out of the live shell is Redondo beach. I have been going to that fish market since I was a kid. Once one of the guys there offered me some uni out of the still moving shell (I didn't know what it was at the time). Oh man! I should have just tried it! EVerything out of that market is quality! I need to go back someday.
There is always Catalina Offshore Products.

Dare I try it ? (I fear the number of calories)

Ok I tried it.... not satisfying at all. The first few seconds are like a caramel taste but the after taste is gross! I did like the texture of it thou...

My friend walked in on me drinking pickle juice for heartburn ~ she was totally grossed out. I don't get it...I even drink it when I don't have heartburn

Yes, I was sooooooooo jealous when I saw Andrew Zimmern at Catalina Offshore eating fresh everything! Also addicted to toro, but it's hard to find at sushi places or at the local Japanese market... I wonder if Catalina ships live uni...

* Fried chicken livers and hot sauce ! = )

Not really that weird but not a lot of people eat them with hot sauce either.

* Plain white rice with soy sauce and hot pepper flakes.

* A Baloney and cheese sandwich with mayo, lettuce and Potato chip (inside). Love it !

* Oh and my favorite thing to eat that makes people (my family) go eww is when I eat a Rare cooked steak.

They do... but no guarantee that they are alive upon arrival. But to the west coast should be good. I haven't ordered from them bc I can't justify special ordering uni just for me and no "occasion".

Are the lean pockets good?

[concretegurl]

Not as good as expected the flavors are bland and all mushed together. I dowsed them in mustard it helped a lot.
Honestly I ate 2 and got a stomach ache, I see the appeal in the recipe though.

I'm a lil foody snob though too, so I am totally motivated despite my culinary handicap to figure out naking pretzel bread, finding pretzel salt and making my own.
