“Edible seaweed”
-
In my world, there is no such thing.
You don’t have to dive down, pull it up by it’s roots and chomp down on it. I buy flaked seaweed from Maine at AMZ and when I have fish (mostly Alaskan salmon,} I sprinkle a few seaweed flakes on it along withjuice from a lemon wedge. .
Years ago, I saw a special on PBS that showed hem harvesting seaweed from a partcular bay in Maine, so far North that the waters are clean. And of course AMZ carries it. Also sell tiny tablets of Icelandic Kelp. They can cram a lot of iodine-rich seaweed into one tiny tablet. Of course a tab has no taste if you just swallow it with water. Part of the pile of pills in mypillkeeper thatI take every day.
Actually, the edible seaweed sold at Costco (even the ones on Texas) are tasty. The first sensation is a taste of seawater that reminds me of my first swim in the ocean...faint salty taste. Then chewing it up there is a umami sensation with a little appetitie suppressant. If the straight chew is not your thing, then use scissors and cut small strips to garnish a salad or soup. The seaweed is also a natural source of iodine.
