Dont buy this until next harvest.
Had this in a pub and was pleased to find it here. However, it was dreadful, like eating sharp slivers of straw with a thin covering of asparagus. Not at all enjoyable. Threw it away when a woody bit caught in my throat. Waste of money.
Terrible and inedible!
It's like trying to eat twigs,with no taste at all,definitely the worst I have ever tasted.
Like eating fish bones!
You are supposed to eat the delicate tips not great big woody branched stems that feel like plastic. Ordered 3 cartons but had to throw the lot in the compost. I have bought samphire several times from Tesco and this is the first bad lot. But SO bad! Come on Tesco, what about quality control?
Check source before purchase
Frequently buy Samphire from Tesco. Usually it is superb quality and sourced in Israel and possibly Wales. This last batch was woody and inedible and sourced in Morocco. Will specify do not supply if from Morocco.
Great with trout and creamy souce.

Woody
very hit-and-miss quality. Last order of samphire was so woody, it was inedible. A bit of quality control is important here, Tesco!
TERRIBLE
Absolutely Awful. We finally tried Samphire, the experience was terrible, ruined our meal. Tough, stringy and inedible. Put us off now which is a shame. What happened to quality control Tesco?
Awful.
Awful. Tough, twiggy and coarse. At least half the packet inedible.
Three stars is my average rating for this product,
Three stars is my average rating for this product, when its good it deserves 5*, when bad 1*, this is my last winter purchase as some suggest it maybe a seasonal issue. The longevity in the fridge has been very good but the woody nature is simply inedible.
Woody and unpleasant
This samphire was really woody and unpleasant. It's the second time we have experienced this with Tesco samphire. Maybe it's the luck of the draw but if so we have been unlucky two out of three times.
