Drinking in the mineral wealth of the ocean with each incoming tide, sea greens are richer in nutrients than any land-locked plant could hope to be. Chief among those found in the British Isles is sea oak, which can be found anchored steadfastly to the tide-line, fanning its leather-brown fronds on to beaches and unfurling shiny ribbons over pebbles and rocks. Thanks to a neat amphibious design, sea oak can sunbathe when the tide is out, employing its air-filled bubbles when it flows in.

Sea oak is worshipped for its dense nutritional goodness and essential oils, with a composition that reads like an A to Z of trace elements and minerals, many of which exert remarkable soothing effects on the skin.

Isle in a Bottle Noble Isle sources sea oak from a Roaringwater Bay Mussel Farm in west Cork, where a rocky coast meets the pristine waters of the Atlantic. Valued for its concentrated mineral content, sea oak has been gathered for hundreds of years in the area and this family-run mussel farm, which has historic access to the shoreline, is harvesting the super sea veg once again.
