I got totally taken in by OGW’s description and decided I had to try this. Maybe I should have just gone down to the beach to see if I could find it!
Any cooks growing Oyster Leaf?
Native to many a northern coastline on the Pacific and Atlantic this uniquely briny plant delivers the oceanic taste of oysters, anchovies and mushrooms in its fleshy blue-green leaves. A small bite of the leaf and you’ll think you’ve just slurped down a fresh oyster from the Puget Sound. It’s quickly becoming a favorite with chefs and works well in many dishes to add a seafood flare without having to break out the shucking knife!

It looks really pretty. I would grow it even just as an ornamental if I had the space.

how did this do for you?
I keep wondering about this plant and was wondering if anyone here has had success with it

Have to admit, I got totally swept up in the ad copy! Too good to be true in my location … the leaves tasted nothing like oysters to me. Plant ended up in the compost.
