Fresh are delectable...

Proper way is to take the back end of the spoon, separate, and use the spoon to scrape out...then put it on toasted crackers or bread...did I mention delectable?

Ditto Risky Water's message. I've eaten red, black, and purple. Purple not worth it but others are good (in an interesting way). White urchins are a different genus and even smaller -I have not tried them. Make sure you get a female with grainy, orange to purple color gonads. The males have smoother, light colored sacs (testes) with white milt that you may not want to ingest!
