My Story

I’m Coral O’Malley, an intrepid culinary explorer whose love for the sea was sparked during childhood summers spent combing the windswept beaches of the Pacific Northwest. Side by side with my beloved grandmother—an Irish émigré with a passion for coastal foraging—I learned to harvest seaweed and incorporate its verdant strands into our family meals. From kelp salads to dulse-infused bread, each dish celebrated the nourishing power and endless versatility of these maritime treasures.

After spending a decade as a marine biologist, studying the ecological magic of ocean flora, I decided to blend my passions for science and cuisine. The result is Sea Green Gourmet—a place where I can share the wonders and flavors of the sea that have shaped my life and continue to inspire my culinary adventures.
