How to hunt for sea urchins on Sardinia
From early December to early May in Sardinia begins season of urchins when hunting turns into a real celebration. Try to hunt for their tasty caviar.

For hunting you must have a suit, which retains heat well, stick with two pins at the end, and networks for the captured hedgehogs.

In the food suitable all hedgehogs, but black. Black sea urchins - the boys, but the most valuable thing in the hedgehog - it's caviar. Therefore, pay attention to the red, green, purple sea urchins.

To open a hedgehog, you will need a pair of scissors. With this need to be careful - the needle may scatter in different directions.
