Note - Uni can be a hit or miss - regardless of where the uni is from, uni should taste like a clean ocean, creamy, subtly sweet.

if the uni seems watery, melting, and tastes bitter, these are signs of the uni deteriorating

If the uni no longer looks vibrant, runny, has a bad smell, the uni is no longer safe to consume

Sometimes grade A hokkaido is super sweet and in perfect condition and tastes way better than grade AA Santa Barbara uni. Other times, the Santa Barbara uni is better quality than the Hokkaido Uni
