Reception

The film received positive reviews with Josh Board of Fox 5 San Diego giving the film 3.5 out of 5 stars and writing, "Yet even if you aren't going to ever try this, the documentary is fascinating to watch" and, "3 ½ stars out of 5 (if these were Michelin stars given to a restaurant, that would make this the Citizen Kane of documentaries)."[4] LA Weekly called it, "a mouthwatering excursion featuring California's uni divers and the chefs who sing their praises," [5] Hollywood Outbreak said, "If you thought a documentary about sea urchins would be boring, think again." [6] and Larry Mantle on KPCC called it "a must see."[7]
