Fresh



I know that my postings have been revolving around the sea, but I can’t help it! I spend most of the day at the beach, even now that I’m visiting my parents, and I still can’t get enough! I just hope you are not bored, yet! 



The first outing with my mum was a swim at a nearby beach, which from above reminded me of the beaches I saw during my last visit to Mani (an area on the south of the Peloponnese) . The area is mountainous, so the waters are green as the plants are reflected in them and there is a lot to explore where the mountains meet the sea. 



So, we put on our goggles and ended up with some delicious findings in our bags: fresh urchins! We sat on the rocks under the sun and had the most delish seafood meal! Their subtle flavor stayed in our mouths for hours. 



What about you?

 Do you pick sea treasures to eat on the spot? 
Have you ever tasted urchins?


PS. As I don't have internet access (I'm posting at a cafe) here at the village, I'm afraid that I won't be able to keep a good track of your postings, as I can only spend a specific amount of time here. I promise that I'll do my best to pop in now and then to catch up with you and leave a comment, though.

  2. I have never seen sea urchins in 'the real'. I don't eat sea food other than fish but the sea urchins look interesting! You are very lucky to be spending time by the sea. I have not been to the sea for years or had a holiday for that matter. Your posts give me a sense of that holiday feeling. x

  3. I don't think there is very enough time at the beach. I have never tasted urchins, are they salty?

  5. I never had sea urchins but as a child we used to spend most weekends during the Summer at the beach and we used to harvest all sorts of shell fish: mussels, cockles, etc which my mum would cook for our afternoon tea. It was delicious. Sometimes we stopped by the roadside to pick small snails which my mum would also cook with lots of oregano, it sounds disgusting but they taste really good.
