Wait a sec. Are you talking about mature ferns or the fiddleheads? There
are a lot of different ferns and not all of them are good. Not all of
them are edible. It is usually the oyster ferns that are harvested in
most places. It is a very short season.  And.... they have flavour.

These are wild Hawaiian fern shoots called pohole. They are quite
delicate and blanched in water for only 1-2 minutes. The mainland
fiddleheads require longer cooking times.

Indeed. The oyster fiddleheads do take a lot longer to cook than most
green vegetables.

I don't use the name "fiddlehead" since they don't resemble the mainland
counterpart at all. It's a whole nother plant.
Breakfast this morning was loco moco. Theoretically, one should be able
to make loco moco in most places on Earth. It's likely that most
non-Hawaiians would make it with long grain rice. That would be
incorrect.
