SEA URCHIN PROCESSING

This is the Grand Hale fish plant. It is the newest sea urchin plant on the coast.

This is a sea urchin cracked in half.The first step in processing the urchin.

The plant workers scoop out the pieces of roe.

The sea urchin roe is washed in a plastic tray. This washes away the guts and seaweed that they eat.
