Great through all its seasons, but thin & fresh in spring, growing fatter and longer through until Autumn, this native seaweed can grow up to 2 mteres long! A very versatile seaweed. It can be used as pasta, blitzed up into blinis or whatever you like. Turns vivid green on cooking. Can have nutty tones especially raw, try a twist of raw mermaids hair, with a tomato, and seafood salsa.
Simply delicious.
Mm. Rock sampire-where to begin. A fragrant vegetable, perhaps betwen that and a spice. it is famed for rock samphire hash, made with capers vinigar and eggs, delicious with hams etc. Lovely also as a vegetable in its own right. Try it (for breakfast?) blanched then finish in butter and lemon, then pop a poached or fried egg on top, a bit of bacon tomatoes...
