The Roe Australia (formerly known as Uniboomboom) is a restaurant in Melbourne that specializes in using fresh sea urchin as the core ingredient for their dishes, along with other premium seafood. They are known for their signature dish, the sea urchin dumpling, which provides a unique dining experience. The restaurant also serves as a gallery where diners can learn about sea urchins and their context in Australia. The sea urchin population has grown significantly in recent years, posing a threat to kelp forests, and The Roe Australia’s customers have helped by eating 10 metric tonnes of sea urchin per year from the eastern coast of Victoria, New South Wales, and Tasmania.
