Anyone else tried it? Eaten raw, and at times, given its cost nothing, can be quite expensive, when bought fresh.
Description
Dulse – Palmaria palmata is a red macro algae / seaweed that grows from a disc holdfast on Laminaria, Fucus serratus, or from the rocks. It is reddish – brown to deep reddish – purple in colour and is leathery in texture, with flat fronds of up to 50cm long. Dulse is sometimes confused with Dilsea carnosa (Schmidel) Kuntze. Dilsea carnosa is another red seaweed, however it is more leathery and its fronds can grow up to 30cm long and 20cm wide. It is not branched, but older plants can split.
