When donating to the museum, Blathers will say the following:

"Sea grapes are a marine algae that look much like their landlocked namesake. That is, they are green pearl-like orbs that cluster tightly along underwater vines. And sea grapes, like regular grapes, are a popular snack food too...albeit of the saltier variety. Fans of the briny delicacy enjoy the way the shiny pearls POP when chewed.
