I had a salad of fern shoots recently. It's quite the delicacy. The one I had had some onions and tomatoes and some raw seafood. The shoots here are different from the ones on the mainland - they are cooked in boiling water for only about a minute, then they're drained and cooled in ice water. The crispy warabi is served with a sesame oil dressing. I don't make this salad because I can't ever find them for sale.
