Look in and around university for this Japanese delicacy (3,6)

I believe the answer is:

sea urchin

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'this japanese delicacy' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I don't see how they can define each other.

'look in and around university' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'in' is present in the answer.
'around' could be 'c' (abbreviation for 'circa') and 'c' is located in the answer.
'university' could be 'u' (abbreviation for university) and 'u' is found in the answer.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

'for' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?
