pickleweed or poussepierre. Some people call it samphire, but that can be confusing because samphire is also the common name for a completely different seacoast plant in the carrot family. Western Canadians and Alaskans usually call it sea grass or sea asparagus. Washingtonians often say "sea beans."
often it's cooked with sea foods.. like fish and so on

It's a type of beachgrass that loosely resembles asparagus. Nasty stuff, tastes like dirty sludge. Pacific Samphire, Sea Asparagus, Virginia glasswort

What is it? Sea asparagus (aka sea beans, samphire, salicornia, glasswort) is a nubby, branching salt-tolerant shoreline vegetable
Taste and texture? Salty-sweet flavor, snappy-juicy texture; think cucumber or green bean
Where does it grow here? Raised hydroponically on rafts in brackish water in Kahuku
