This species is collected in considerable quantity by the Chinese about Monterey, dried and used for food, being stewed with fish and "shrimps." It is sent inland, and perhaps also to China. According to the Chinese, it has a better flavor than the common species growing on the rocks, which also is collected and eaten by them.
