You can buy premium uni here by the tray! The same one available at fancy sushi restaurants.

As my wife is a sushi fanatic after seeing the Facebook documentary we were excited to try various items. We tried the tuna, uni and salmon sashimi, we ordered, the shipping process was smoothe and arrived on time. I would say the mi uni was about b grade uni, slight umami flavor but overall the food was well packaged and fresh. Only disclaimer as I feel it should go both ways is the upcharge for any non pick up item. For example the Santa Barbara 100g uni is $50 for local pickup; if you choose delivery the retail of the item goes up to $75. I reached out as I feel they should be more transparent. They do charge a $15 delivery fee within California; when reaching out he explained his reasoning as the cost of shipping is higher; but you should know that instead of charging the full shipping separately, they up charge on the actual cost of the item and separately charge a delivery fee. I’ve dealt with various e-commerce and online sushi vendors but depending on whether you choose ‘pickup’ or ‘delivery’ never changed the cost of the item, and only changed the shipping cost. Overall great quality seafood but should be a bit more transparent about their costs and their prices.

I visited Tradewinds on a recent vacation in Oxnard. I knew that the area is the uni capital of the world and I’m a big fan of uni. I was looking for a restaurant where I could get some local uni - this is not that. Instead this is the factory(?) where sushi restaurants from around the world buy their uni. You can just walk up to the side door of the factory and get wholesale premium uni. When I found Tradewinds I decided to have a “make your own sushi” night with friends. They also sell other sushi grade seafood. I got the otoro, tuna, salmon, and salmon roe. All way below what I would have paid at a specialty grocery but absolute top quality.
This is a great place for wholesale priced premium seafood ingredients.
