HUNGRY GERALD

Uni (oo-nee) is now carried at Fearless Fish, the remarkable seafood shop in Providence, RI. (A short drive from HG/BSK’s Central Falls loft). Uni is a unique food from the sea. The Japanese use it on sushi  (Much enjoyed by HG).  So, what is Uni? It is the edible part of the sea urchin–possibly the sea urchin’s gonads. Uni has an unusual taste–velvety,smooth. It’s foie gras of  the sea. BSK bought a small tray of Uni for HG–a sensational taste treat. And, Fearless Fish continues to carry John Dory.. BSK sauteed some filets to follow the Uni. The sauce of butter, white wine and lemon juice was simple–and simply fabulous. Israeli couscous and chopped spinach flanked the filets. HG/BSK drank a lush Pinot Noir. It was a memorable supper.
