Use Porphyra (various species) or substitute with various species of Ulva, Monostroma, or
Porphyra

Since the Porphyras were also called sea lettuce by many Indian tribes, it is hard to
reconstruct historical recipes. The genus most tender at any given season should be the
one used in cooking.

Preparation
• Eulachon (candlefish) is an extremely oily West Coast fish. Traveling in schools, it can be
scooped up in a net while you are standing knee-high in the sea.
• Soak the fish for about 2 hours in 4 parts salt water to 1 part vinegar. Add garlic or
spices to the solution if desired.
• Dry the fish thoroughly and wrap it in a piece of sea lettuce.
