Is it crunchy or chewy?

Bull kelp is crunchy. Sea lettuce is soft and more like cooked spinach. It's fun trying seaweeds. This is my first time making a recipe with bull kelp other than sushi!

Down here in Alabama they would cook it for 3 days with salt pork and butter.

Was it good? Ive never tried a seaweed recipe like that! So many interesting things to try!

Haha That was a snide comment. We are too far from kelp to have it served anywhere except by the occasional chef. I have never had the dish to my knowledge though I have had items steamed or cooked wrapped in some forms of seaweed.

There's a company up in Alaska called Barnacle Foods that pickles bull kelp and makes it into hot sauces. I've had the pickles and texture wise they were decent (it was just that I found them too sweet, and the sugar free version went out of production before I could get my hands on a jar.)
