Maratangtang, Edible Sea Urchin

The people in La Union call it 'maratangtang'. This cluster of sea urchins costs Php 50.00/Kilo and is prepared by dipping it into boiling water. The spiky shell is as hard as a crab shell. We opened it with a knife and hot liquid flooded our plate. A mud-color substance appeared together with the white edible flesh. It tasted like the sea--salty and soft like crab meat or something like sea shell.
