DETAILS & FAQ
Do I HAVE TO PICK UP MY ORDER BY THE LATEST PICK UP DATE?
Yes. Please pick up your order on time and before the latest pick up time using the chart above.
CAN I SET A SPECIFIC PICK UP-DATE OR PLACE A SPECIAL ORDER FOR FRESH UNI AHEAD OF TIME?
No. Unfortunately, uni harvesting is influenced by bad weather and scarcity. Our website tracks live inventory and we only pack to order. Once the uni is out of stock on our website, we are sold out until the next weekly batch. Check out our website often since we typically update inventory on Sundays.
DO YOU OFFER SAME DAY PICK UPS?
Yes, if your order is placed before our 6am PST cut off time. During the major holidays, please call us for our hours.
DO YOU PACK YOUR ODERS WITH ICE?
Orders over $50 are packed with ice packs and a free cooler bag.
Orders under $50 are packed with ice packs and a plastic bag. Please bring your own cooler if you're traveling for an extended period of time.
CAN SOMEONE ELSE PICK UP MY ORDER?
Yes. Please reach out to us with your order number and let us know who is picking your order up.

MARUHIDE FRESH UNI
Trusted By Michelin Chefs
cracked, packed, and shipped same day
Our factory is the premier Santa Barbara uni supplier to Michelin chefs, restaurants, smaller distributors, and home chefs.
Most of the uni you will find in the U.S. isn't fresh because the product sits on a shelf for a long time. Additionally, the uni can pass through multiple retailers before you consume it, resulting in a fishy taste. Only fresh sea urchin retains its ideal sweet flavor, color, and buttery texture.
Our expert divers harvest the wild sea urchins and bring them to our facility. We start by cracking the sea urchins early in the morning. Maruhide's masters carefully select the best uni, pack to order, and ship on the same day it's processed.
We're passionate about serving you the best uni the ocean offers. Check out our episode on Eater below.
