Ive heard of loads of benefits which can be gained from eating seaweed, im a vegetarian and dont eat fish so think seaweed would be a good alternative.
Ive tried most supermarkets and Holland and Barrett but had no luck, does anyone have any ideas??

Yeah I'm a veggie (so I too don't eat fish).
I think the improtant thing we miss out on from fish is Omega 3 oil - so try looking for veggie sources of that. I've found flax seed oil capsules, and flax seeds (also called linseed) and (for pregnant/trying to conceive women who might want to avoid flax seed) some algae capsules called water4life or something.
If you are specifically looking for seaweed try ethnic supermarkets.
by the way I've seen what purports to be seaweed in supermarkets but on closer inspection it turns out to be deep fried cabbage!
hope this has been of use.

There is some itsu crispy seaweed thins in some Tesco s, they are only £1 per packet, they are high in Iodine, Zinc, Fibre, Protein, & Vitamin B12. They are only 2 calouries per thin. I have eatng them for 3 weeks now with the Snack Organisation lightly salted Rice Crackers. They really are tasty together.
Also James Martin today was talking about making seaweed butter today, to go in a mackerel.
He introduced a couple from Cornwall wh have set up a bussiness in harvesting seaweed in Cornwall and they sell it, also there an Irish Company.
I also was given some Seaweed Cabbage in a jar today by a friend, she did nt know what to do with it. I came home and fried some up with olive oil and a little salt, I had it with bacon sandwich and on some of my crackers. Watch out though it catches & burns quickly.
Good luck, I hope you find some! Fiona

Buy Seaweed

My question is do you have a craving for this, or do you really have dollars to buy this?
The solution is that you can be an independent connoisseur of seaweed and go to your local sea to get some of your own.
You would have to boil it and clean it due to your fellow city folk polluting the earth in various ways, however, this should be worth it if you really want to try being vegan.

I am assuming you want to cook this yourself but you can get crispy seaweed from Chinese Takeaways (you probably already know this)

Try any local Asian markets or the ethnic (Asian) section of your supermarket. You shouild be able to find a product called "nori" on the dry shelf. It's typically used to make sushi, but can be used in other things as well.

My local healthfood shop (an independent) sells it and so do Chinese supermarkets although they are usually Japanese products. It comes in dried strips.
Have you tried eBay?
