Sounds like Sea Urchin (uni).

I saw a bunch of them when I was snorkelling in Kauai last month. Kept wanting to grab them and eat them, but thought better of it.

This is true, with one addendum; 95% of uni is of the bad variety. If it isn't super fresh, it's like eating a slug that died of sepsis. But if you can get it from a reputable place, prepared well, it's pretty damn amazing.
 
I ate some uni "fresh" off the water tank in Redondo Beach, where you pick the uni and they hack it right in front of you. It tasted like sea water, and not a creamy sweet pudding-like substance at a sushi restaurant. Was disappointed tbh

Live uni from quality seafood is a scam. They don't even clean that shit.


The packaged stuff is better because it's graded and then shipped by quality. The live shit is a grab bag since you don't know how good it's gonna be until you open it up, but at least if you buy live uni at a sushi restaurant they'll properly clean it for you.
 
for the uni folk, next time you're out for sushi, ask the chef to top the uni sushi with a quail egg. ho-lee-crap! (in a good way)
 
prepare for mind=blown
