    • Abstract:
      The edible sea urchin is a close relative of starfish, sea lilies, brittle stars, sand dollars, and many other echinoderms, or spiny-skinned creatures. The edible sea urchin was given the name edible because some of its internal organs, such as its sexual organs and eggs, are eaten by humans. The dish prepared is called roe. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
