Malm Kelp

Despite that it is typically acquired by fishing, malm kelp is not a fish. This aquatic plant can grow to a full malm (1760 yalms) in length, whence its name.

It is found in all saltwater bodies around Eorzea and beyond; however, food-grade kelp can only be reliably had around the docks of Limsa Lominsa, and in Moraby Bay.

In the eastern lands, malm kelp is traditionally added to beans as they are boiled, resulting in a far more tender and flavorful dish. Unsynwilf Greensleeves, at the Bismarck in Limsa Lominsa, regularly requests this ingredient in bulk from the local Levemete.
