Komochi Konbu




     Every year there is a herring run in the San Fransisco Bay. One local guy will attach konbu to some wooden pallets and float them out in the water. The fish then lay their millions of eggs on the seaweed and it is harvested. The majority of the production is shipped immediately to Japan where it is considered a delicacy, but this year a little was diverted and I got my hands on some.

Alan took some beautiful close up shots of one of the leaves with 2 different levels of lighting. I like the darker more dramatic look.
