More information

Also called "pickle" or "sea bean," salicornia is a wild plant that grows in the salt marshes of the Atlantic coast and the English Channel. It is a source of vitamins, minerals, and trace elements. They are preserved in water with a hint of lemon to alter the unique flavor of these little algae as little as possible. They can be eaten raw, candied, or as a vegetable accompaniment to fish or white meat. Preparation tips: drain the salicornia and rinse them with clear water, sauté them in a pan with a knob of butter or thick cream, small onions, or shallots. Ingredients: salicornia, water, lemon, sugar. La Conserverie Saint-Christophe is an artisanal cannery specializing in meat, poultry, game, fish, condiments, and salicornia. It was created in 1990 and is located in Argoules, east of the Bay of Somme. Quality, simplicity, and know-how are the driving forces behind this family-owned company, which favors short supply chains and is a fervent representative of the Hauts de France region.
