Marsh samphire (Salicornia spp), also known as glasswort and Sea Asparagus is a succulent salt-tolerant herbaceous plant that grows in salt marshes and on beaches. It is in season between June and August, but is best early in the season, before it flowers. he plant is famous in Norfolk, where pickled samphire has been served as a bar-top nibble for many years. Recently samphire has begun to appear on the menus of trendy restaurants. Mainly as a garnish though increasingly as an integral part of fish and seafood dishes.
This use of marsh samphire in trendy restaurants has made this a prince amongst wild foods and has introduced many people to the delights of foraging. Yet few people know how to make the best of marsh samphire itself.

How can you determine if you are buying quality seasonings or spices? How can you make sure to make the quality last?
Whether you are a gourmet chief or the homemaker that cooks for the neighborhood band of crumb snatchers, you know the importance of quality seasonings and spices. There are some basic spices and seasonings that are a must for any kitchen. There are also the unusual and hard to find types. Regardless of which type of spice or seasoning you chose there are some basic things to bear in mind. Here are some tips to help you accomplish the goal of quality spices.
- Spices are dried and often ground or grated into a powder. The absence of fillers or pouring agents is desirable.
- Fresh is best: When ingredients that are used are fresh you are going to get the most out of each ounce. Buying smaller quantities is desirable so as to not have quantities stored for long periods.
- Packaged in barrier bags with sterile air will seal in freshness and flavor.
- Packages should be stored in cool, dry locations. Refrigerated is best for colored spices. Refrigeration or freezing can be used for those with high oil content.
An example of a site to use would be Pendery’s World of Chilies and Spices. This is a site that offers a wide variety of spices and chilies. This company has been around since the 1800’s. One of my favorites on their site is their hungarian paprika.

Recipes For Seafood Chowder!?
I want a good recipe for seafood chowder, all the ones i found on the net have celery and potatoes in, which i have never had in any chowder i have had.
Anyone got any good recipes, or links to them?
Sorry, but ALL chowder has celery and potatoes in it.
Are you referring to oyster stew? That is basically half&half, salt, and oysters.
The trademark ingredients of a classic chowder (creamy OR red) are potatoes and celery.
If you can get past that fact, I highly recommend the corn&crab chowder from the New York Times cookbook. The best I’ve had.
