Pickled bullwhip kelp.

I was surfing for some pickle recipes this week and ran across people pickling bullwhip kelp.  Says it is pretty much the same recipe as normal pickles, only your source is obviously a different one than the garden. 

I may have to try this, as it does look pretty good.

tasty, very! rich flavor for sure.
 I have eaten a few items made with Kelp when I was in school in this area, the Inadians used it dried as a seasoning like "spike", made bread, candy and pickles. Thyey also wrapped shellfish for steaming over coals in kelp.
 out of all the Sea-weeds out there, only a couple are non-edible.

Looks great! Thanks for the post insayn.

We love pickled green beans, why not kelp?  Gonna try it next time I'm at the coast.

We've been seeing/tasting some great pickled asparagus at the market this year.

Sounds good to me! I like nori and I've had some other dried seaweed, too.

Allen, would that be the Pike Place market??

That would be the Saturday morning Farmer's Market in the U-District.

The best is the spicy pickled asparagus!!!

I've been to some of Lee Gray's wild edibles classes.  I love seaweed so pickled bull kelp sounds good.

i have been.. spent from 630 am low tide change to the 3 pm river out surge on the nisqually sat morning with hooknose.. great guy btw, not only is he a lifetime fisherman, he's patient enough to share information and teach too... i never knew how to tie a biat holder loop,, he showed me that in about 3 minutes, , then we both went after the salmon . i;ll let him tell the story of the one that jumped over him..

Would that be the Nisqually flats??/ Luhr beach?  Upriver???  Tell us more!

That looks great. Lord knows I like the weird stuff. I will try that. I might have to add a fround into it too.
Here is another one that my daughter and I tried the other day. Wok fried purple shore crabs. you know the little ones you find under the rocks. I took some home and gave them a rinse and dusted with corn starch and tossed them in to a hot wok with garlic. If you like soft shell crabs you might like this. More of a novelty then a meal though. They tasted great, shell and all. Good crunch. When my 4 year old poped one into her mouth I knew she was her daddys girl.
