Sea urchins are a delicacy in France: Would you try them?

Sea lovers know better than to step on a spiny urchin. But some consider urchins as a delicacy rather than a painful experience! In Europe, they are found in the Mediterranean Sea and along the Atlantic coast. In France, they are so popular that entire festivals are dedicated to these hedgehog-like sea creatures. Join us in Carry-le-Rouet, Southern France, to discover their unique taste and learn how to eat them!
