Short spiked Sea urchin

On the outside, the difference between this urchin and the common sea urchin is, naturally, the size of their spikes, but also their global sizes and taste. The short spiked sea urchin has a more light and sweet flavour. Its capture is hard and demanding, as they are also collected manually by experienced divers, but these ones live farer away from the coast. The good weather and the sea decide when we can have these gems.
