You can substitute oysters with a small piece of fish, for example, when oysters are not in they serve uni shooters. Now Im not sure what type of fish Uni is, but i think it could be eel.

I drink mine raw too. They are served in a glass full of Sake, and flying fish roe.
The way to consume:
You order a round for everybody.
Everybody takes the whole she-bang into their mouths (raw quail egg, sake, and tobiko) swish it around in you mouth.
Spit it all back into the glass.
Then back into your your mouth ending up with as little tobiko as possible in your glass.

The person with the most tobiko in their glass pays for the round.

uni is sea urchin roe(eggs), I used to sell the stuff among millions of other seafoods that nobodys ever heard of. its an accuired taste uni, but nothing like it when its fresh(firm), kinda buttery. now if you look at it and it looks kinda runny, youre better off eatin shit. some sushi joints put it out anyway, the stuff is expensive and theyll get every dollar out of it till someone lets em know.

the quail eggs, sold the hell out of those too, mostly to sushi joints........just a mini egg, flavorwise if youve had one egg, youve had em all just sizes vary...emu/ostrich biggest i've had, robin the smallest. they all tasted like eggs.

how about them duck eggs with the undeveloped duckling inside, (south america) forget what theyre called but I really wanna try one of them setups, see what theyre bangin on

Not South America but Asia, specifically the Phillipines. And they are called Balut. They taste very much like a boiled egg but you get some small chewy feathers and the undeveloped feet crunch a bit. Proper way to eat is to crack the egg at the top, drink the juice then peel and consume the embryo.
Not bad if you can get over eating a duck fetus...

Don't know about duration but since they are a rare item i would use asap. Fried sunyside up to put a couple on top of a nice striploin (rare) is rather enjoyable.

My biggest handicap is that sometimes the hole in the front of my head operates a tad bit faster than the grey matter contained within.

Zero. Drain the white and mix them in your steak tartare, serve atop some tobiko (preferably wasabi infused) & sushi rice wrapped in nori, or mixed up with some raw squid and uni as uni ika somen. Yum!

Amen....best steak tartare I ever had was at one of Lagasse's restaraunts in Los Angeles. It was topped with raw quail egg...


edit to add Porpoishead if you want Balut you need to go to at least Southeast Asia to get it. I have found it in Japan, Phillipines, Cambodia, Vietnam (rare) and Thailand. Best gotten in Phillipines from my experience. If you get it in China it is 1000 year old eggs which are buried in the ground until the embryo begins to rot - never had it but have heard from varying sources that they are wonderful like truffles to they are vomit-inducing.

I usually just run over 'em with the mower - not on purpose, but it happens. The fire ants usually eat 'em.

As a 'gift', the Senior Rigger who I studied with for my ticket, gave me a jar of pickled quail eggs. I still, have that un-opened jar.
