Managed to find some sea urchin at @brightonfishsales. Third time I've eaten them. This time raw. You remove the mouth with scissors and either split with two spoons or cut with the scissors. Scoop out the orange roe, or remove the black stuff which you don't eat.
Lovely Sunday afternoon dinner. BBQ grilled sea bream and razor clams, rice and salad with red mizuna (mustard greens), red lettuce, chives, spring onions from the greenhouse. Campari soda on the side to add a touch of class.
Seafood BBQ yesterday. Leeks, razor clams and baby octopus (both frozen) from Fish in Hove. Chili salt, Vietnamese dipping sauce (fish sauce, sweet chili, cider vinegar, water: roughly equal parts) to garnish.
Excellent, if slightly messy penultimate day in Santiago de Compostela hanging at the market in the afternoon eating gooseneck barnacles, razor clams and scallops, and rather a lot of ablariño (Galician white wine). Great food, wonderful company and a fantastic end to the camino Português.
Don't forget, if you can't find food at a supermarket or your local shop, you can still go for a walk and grab something from the local fields or shoreline without getting in close proximity of other folks. Today we picked a huge bag of nettles, sea beet (sub in any spinach recipe) and some limpets (!). Apparently the limpets aren't super tasty and a bit tough, so I've parboiled for 5 mins, food processed to small pieces/paste and added them to some mushroom, bacon and wild garlic pesto with a bit of oregano and thyme. Will put them into puff pastry parcels tomorrow.
