Easy if you have Sea Urchins readily available in the sea in front of you!

Otherwise you can find them in a good fish market.

olive oil

a little sea water

Cretan rusks

Method

1. Gather your sea urchins using a stick and a mask. The amount gathered  for this recipe was about 20 Sea Urchins. The best time is when there is a new moon, the Urchins have more eggs in them.  Important : The Female ones are redder and larger, with shorter spikes. The male ones are black and have longer spikes. It is the female ones you gather, so as to use the eggs. Often they have a small shell resting on their spines.
