Although the two are botanically unrelated.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eRock samphire grows on the side of rocky cliffs and tends to only be collected by the most intrepid of foragers. While rock samphire has been eaten for centuries, it is a divisive vegetable that fell out of favour as the more common marsh variety became more popular. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWe sell marsh samphire which, as its name suggests, grows in saltwater marshes and tidal flats around the UK. It is succulent with vibrant, green stalks that resemble baby asparagus.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAs well as having a wonderfully crisp texture and salty taste it is also rich in vitamins and minerals, which has led to it becoming recognised as a superfood.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow to Cook\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTop chefs and fish specialists like Nathan Outlaw and Rick Stein have long been adorning their fish and seafood dishes with this crunchy sea vegetable. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTo do the same, simply boil your samphire grass for about a minute to soften, drain, then sauté in a pan with olive oil, butter, garlic, and a dash of lemon juice for an elegant accompaniment to your fish.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat to Drink\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWhile samphire does make a pleasantly salty addition to many simple fish dishes, it is generally viewed as a garnish.
