Sea asparagus grows between the tides along the St. Lawrence River. Behind its small cactus-like appearance lies a succulent plant with a salty taste and crunchy texture, making it the perfect accompaniment for fish, salads, and appetizers.
Hand-harvested in tidal areas, the sea asparagus is submerged several hours a day in very cold water and then exposed to sunlight, showcasing its resilience perfectly adapted to its environment. Only the tender tips are picked and marinated in a light brine, resulting in an artisanal condiment both flavorful and decorative.
“Marinated sea asparagus is a must-have. My partner and I served it with pickled milkweed pods as a garnish on homemade smoked salmon, it was magical…”

Delicious! Went too fast!
Oh! The joy of eating salicornia! With ham, with sausages, with cheeses! And the friends are impressed!
It’s good!
It’s a marinade with a pretty typical vinegar taste.
