Alaria (Wild Atlantic “Wakame”)
Alaria esculenta
Often referred to as “Wild Atlantic Wakame”, it is very similar to traditional Japanese Wakame. Alaria does require a longer cooking time than true Wakame, and is an excellent addition to traditional miso soups. Also when marinated, blanched, steamed or roasted.
Dulse
Palmaria palmata
This sea vegetable can be served raw and is an excellent addition to chowders, soups, stews and stir fries. When fried, Dulse has a smoky and salty flavor reminiscent to that of bacon. With its chewy texture and umami flavor, this sea vegetable is a delicious and unique wild harvested ocean food.
