The bladders are full of flavor and alginate which makes them amazing for flavoring and thickening stocks and sauces. The leaves are crisp and mild when blanched and have a bright green glow.

Cat's Tongue (Mastocarpus papillatus) has an other worldly texture of it sand paper bumps and briny flavors that are surprisingly not very oceanic. This is one that you throw in with rough cut squash, garlic and onions in the sautee pan. In the winter, give it a quick fry, drizzle with olive oil and parmesan and a coal fired thin crust will march through your mind.

Chain Bladder (Stephanocystis Osmundacea) lives in the deeper colder water of the Pacific where currents are high. Intricate branches and pod like bladders are both flavorful and make for beautiful presentation. It can be eaten raw but is best served lightly blanched and will turn a vibrant neon green. The uses in the kitchen are endless from salty or pickled bar snacks, a great addition to salads even baked into breads.

Feather Boa (Egregia menziesii) is a tough and leathery kelp that has pneumatocysts every few inches that float it up to the surface of the water. While the main parts of the kelp are not great to eat, these floats, picked one by one, are the olives of the ocean. Quickly blanch them for a crisp texture that pops when you bite them. Slice them into rings and garnish your fish tacos. Brine them to garnish your martini.
