Sea beans or samphire
Samphire is a bright green sea vegetable with a salty taste. Samphire is often compared to baby asparagus, and its high salt content means that seasoning needn’t be added during the cooking process. Quite often, it is simply boiled or steamed with a little olive oil or butter to create a delicious accompaniment to a main meal. It has a strongly oceanic flavour and, therefore, goes wonderfully with seafood. If samphire is not available, you can use any kind of seaweed, which also has a salty taste.
Nutritional Information Samphire is packed with an impressive array of nutrients. It is almost free of fat and extremely low in calories. It is also a great digestive aid because it contains plenty of healthy dietary fibre. Samphire contains a good amount of vitamins A and C as well as some of the B vitamins like folate. Samphire also contains various essential minerals responsible for many of the body’s vital functions including calcium, magnesium and potassium. As well as its minerals and vitamins, samphire contains certain unique compounds found in various sea vegetables known as fucoidans. These compounds are known to have antioxidant benefits as well as excellent anti-inflammatory effects on the human body.

I've never heard of samphire or seen it at the grocery store. Sounds interesting.
...Sea beans is another new one for me.
I've had sea beans, but it sounds delicious. Hugs, Valerie
I don't think samphire (whatever it is called) is available in my land-locked city. I will have to investigate.l
As I'm not fond of seafood, I'd pass on this.
This is a new one for me too.
Are those zoodles? Yum.
This fish looks absolutely delicious. I am a fish lover and will have to try out this recipe next time I made some fish. Happy weekend!
