Not a connoisseur, just an American living in Japan and exposed to a variety of seaweed foods.  I've heard, by the way, that seaweed is the coagulant used in ice cream.

One favorite is something called mozuku, a refreshing treat often served raw in a small bowl to accompany a dinner.  We have it at home dressed with sweet vinegar or soy sauce. And because it's slimy, it's best eaten with wooden chopsticks.

Check your Asian grocer to see if they carry it. Many health benefits are claimed for the food.  Good recent magazine story here:

Mozuku seaweed: The Japanese superfood linked good health and beautiful skin

EVERY grocery store here, is an Asian grocery store, but I don’t recall ever seeing it.

I'll not turn up my nose. After all, we here in the
South have dined on weeds in our history.

During the depression it was Dandelion weeds and
poke salad. Shoot, Scarlet even ate raw turnip
according to Margret Mitchell. Not much into turnip
raw or cooked, but those turnip greens are
mighty delicious. Chef Fieri more than likely would have the skills to present them on the table slapped with an expensive price on the menu.
