Finvine

This fin-shaped aquatic plant is found in 4 out the 7 oceans in JI, and plentifully in the Koran Sea. It can even be found in bodies of water on the continent of Koraln Sing, but it is definitely a saltwater plant. It is never found in freshwater. The clear webbing between the rays of the fin are beloved for making gelatin, but they sometimes have a sour taste to them. This seems to be particular to where and how it's grown, though, so some varieties are milder with almost no taste. The Finvine generally prefers shallower waters where it can still receive ample amounts of sunlight. The shallower the better, though it will look quite limp if not fully submerged. Gelatin made from the Finvine is often served as a snack with tea. The main body of the plant is even known to be used in tea, though its salty taste may be disagreeable to some, adding the webbing to it seems to ease the taste a little, and can make for an interesting surprise if the tea is allowed to set.
