THE DELICACY:
The sea urchin has quite the story behind it. It’s considered exotic and a rare delicatessen. How it ends up on a restaurant plate is the question this documentary answers. Sure, this is certainly a niche topic of interest, but a rather fascinating one.
The film documents how divers in the California coasts go to great lengths to obtain these urchins. It’s a dangerous job.
The Delicacy showcases the great water world with all the phenomenal visuals that it provides. On the other end, the film also takes you into the high end restaurants to show you the creativity that these chefs come up with that ends up on your plate. Featuring several testimonials from top chefs and experts that are at the forefront in searching for the urchins.
I found The Delicacy to be an interesting look into a world that I wasn’t aware of. It also gives a perspective to anyone who has wondered how their seafood appears on the restaurant table. Especially for those with an eclectic taste palette.
