Fantastic uni delivered fresh and on time. We made a wonderful pasta with uni sauce.....yummy! Thank you!
Taste very fresh, love the texture, just a hint of sweet but still good umami , make some good dishes
Uni was delicious Combinstion of Uni, Heritage eggs, chives and caviar was incredible!
Nothing quite like uni butter sauce on fresh pasta with a bit of gold leaf it deserved.
Was absolutely delicious. Ate it with poached eggs.
Ordered the Santa Barbra premium uni and wow did it exceed my expectations. Sweet, buttery, and perfectly creamy. The uni melted in my mouth, and the nori added the perfect contrast. Definitely will be buying again
BEST. UNI. EVER. This Santa Barbara uni is on another level. Rich and creamy with a delicate sweetness and a wonderfully clean finish. An absolute treat!
Incredibly fresh, sweet, and buttery, with a clean ocean flavor and no bitterness. This is the most premium Uni I have ever had! Each piece has a beautiful golden color and a delicate, creamy texture that melts in your mouth. Truly an excellent choice for nigiri, hand rolls, or enjoying on its own.
This uni was absolutely sublime from start to finish. Delivery was punctual on my selected date, and the product arrived in impeccable condition—fresh, pristine, and clearly handled with care. From the moment I opened the tray, the quality was unmistakable. On Christmas Day, I served the uni atop perfectly fluffy scrambled eggs on toasted baguette. The result was pure umami bliss: clean, sweet, briny in the most elegant way, with a melting texture that dissolved seamlessly into the eggs without overpowering them. The following day, I used it again—this time folded gently into bronze-cut linguine. Once more, the uni shone. It melted luxuriously into the pasta, coating it with depth and silkiness, fully expressing its potential in both flavor and texture. This is uni at its highest expression: fresh, balanced, and unapologetically indulgent. It elevated two very simple dishes into something quietly extraordinary and made my Christmas meal feel truly special. An exceptional product, flawlessly executed.
Great quality and creamy
Fast delivery and fresh product. Well packaged for transportation. Very happy with product and service. 👌
My pics only show uni with the otoro but we did enjoy the uni on sushi rice by itself too! This uni was high quality and surprisingly a lot more quantity than I expected. I will definitely order again! If you have never had uni with a quail egg yolk, you should try it!
Uni, caviar, and buckwheat blini's, yummy
Very fresh, soft, and the texture was amazing, as expected from California uni.
Grade A very good. Worth the price Grade B significantly lower quality and taste. Should probably lower the price.
My son was quite over the moon with the uni. I had a hard time finding it at my usual local fish markets; then relieved/skeptical to find it online. I worried about something so delicate and how the transport would be, but it was a top notch process.
The uni was fresh and good. I enjoyed the flavor. I eat as much of uni as I can, usually at sushi bars, and this was even better.
The quality of the fish and the speed of the shipping were both absolutely fantastic. The Uni was absolutely phenomenal and the Icelandic salmon is mouth watering. Packaging was perfect. Everything was 10/10. Thank you
It was as expected. Good!
Fabulous!
Fast delivery and great quality
My child has recently discovered Uni and they have become obsessed. Ordered this and they absolutely loved it! Seeing how excited they were made it well worth the purchase. They already asked for this uni as a birthday present. I plan on placing many more orders in the future!
Loved it. Uni was delicious. Super buttery
Grade B Uni was good fresh
While tasting good, my premium Uni order consisted mostly small wet pieces, and wasn’t close to a 100 gram portion. Not nearly as good as the first time I ordered it. The Unagi was nice.
Taste and texture was excellent
Great product Super Fresh
UNI was really excellent. Will come back soon!!!!
This was a gift for my uncle, a huge foodie... very picky with his gifts and specialty foods. Not going to lie, i was nervous about this however... he LOVED the uni, ate it in 2 days and couldnt stop raving about it. Will be purchasing again
All amazing especially the uni.
It’s sooo sweet and rich! So good
Serious treat! Wonderful quality!
carefully packed to keep products fresh and taste :)
The uni is well packaged
Very good thank you
Wonderful
