fresh uni.. my first time processing sea urchin, and it's super weird.

you hold it bottom facing up so it's resting on your hand spike side down (with a folded up towel under it so it's not directly on the hand), then you take a pair of scissors and jam them into the "eye" of the sea urchin. you cut outward to the edge of the bottom and then cut around in a circle.

the sea urchin is basically just full of brown slime/unidentifiable organs/sacs and uni. you take a spoon and use the front part to remove the uni from the inside of the urchin's shell, letting gravity do most of the work, then you tilt it the other way so it falls onto the spoon which you then use to scoop it out.

i fucked up the first one, but was able to get the hang of it pretty quickly. also, inb4 someone mentions that it's still dirty. i took the pic as soon as i finished which was like 15 minutes after service technically starting; i cleaned them off afterward but didn't snap a pic
