Samphire is usually cooked, either
steamed<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steamed>or
microwaved <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microwave_oven>, and then coated
in butter or olive oil. Due to its high salt content, it must be cooked
without any salt added, in plenty of water. It has a hard, stringy core,
and after cooking, the edible flesh is pulled off from the core. This
flesh, after cooking, resembles seaweed in color, and the flavor and
texture are like young spinach stems or asparagus. Samphire is often used
as a suitably maritime accompaniment to fish or
seafood<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seafood>
.
On the east coast of Canada, the plant is known as "samphire greens" and is
a local delicacy. In Southeast
Alaska<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Southeast_Alaska>,
it is known as "beach asparagus". In Nova Scotia, Canada, they are known as
"crow's foot greens". In the United States, they are known as "sea beans"
when used for culinary purposes. Other names include "sea green bean",
"pousse-pierre", "passe-pierre", "pousse-pied", "sea pickle", and "marsh
samphire".[7] <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Salicornia#cite_note-7>
