The fourth annual Mendocino Urchin Festival will take place from June 13-15, featuring a rich program focusing on sea urchins, including tastings from local restaurants and marine exploration activities. Attendees can sample unique dishes like uni-baked oysters while learning about the ecological role of sea urchins in maintaining kelp forests. The event includes visiting an 'Urchin Ranch' for comparisons between wild and farmed varieties, tide pool explorations for kids, and special cooking demonstrations. The festival emphasizes the importance of both culinary enjoyment and environmental stewardship.
Lurking in spiny armor below the waves, sea urchin is a luscious and briny delicacy. And for folks who treasure the taste, what's better than getting it straight from the source?
There are coastal adventures, ocean foraging, lodging packages and a sake pairing with an uni-cooking demo, to name a few things happening in the three-day fest.
