SANTA MONICA, Calif. — It is sport among black belt sushi eaters here to see just how daring one’s palate can be. But even among the squid-chomping, roe-eating and uni-nibbling fans, whale is almost unheard of on the plate. It also happens to be illegal.

What's "uni"?

The cure for a fallacious argument is a better argument, not the suppression of ideas.

Sea urchin. It's got spines (that may or may not be poisonous), but the meat is this yellow to brown stuff. I don't think it's illegal to buy/sell it, although there are some concerns about overfishing.

I've been meaning to try it.
