He finished all four grilled sea urchins and scallop columns in one go, and a warm and powerful energy sensation quickly spread from his stomach throughout his entire body, dispelling the exhaustion accumulated throughout the day.
He glanced at the dozen or so remaining sea urchins next to him and decided not to continue cooking.
"I can't leave these until tomorrow to deal with. Once they're completely thawed, they'll spoil immediately. I must handle them and prepare them as food now."
He cleaned the iron pot thoroughly and brought a small amount of fresh water to a boil inside it.
Then, he cracked open the remaining sea urchins, carefully scraping out all the sea urchin roe with a wooden spoon and placing it into a wooden bowl.
He didn't opt for grilling or frying, instead he chose the method that best preserves its original flavor and form—steaming.
