Guest Ditch_Shitter Posted April 22, 2008 Report Share Posted April 22, 2008 Trappa, that's a hell of a point, mate. As soon as I read ye post I realised; They never made an Observers book of Sea Weed, did they? Should be a field guide out there though, mate. I have field guides here on wild flowers and one on grasses and shit. Someone's bound to have done one on sea weed. Tried Amazon? Or maybe better still a specialist like Subuteo? Race ye?

mackem 28,642 Posted April 22, 2008 Report Share Posted April 22, 2008 Trappa,I once spent three months on a village which survived from farming sea-weed,and generally harvesting the sea around it(it was built a stilt village built on a shallow reef out of sight of land)Excellent stuff,I prefer to eat it straight from the sea as a snack,it makes the kids hair shine like silk after a few days,if there is such a book I would be interested in a copy.

Elmerfudd 5 Posted April 26, 2008 Report Share Posted April 26, 2008 (edited) I've got a book called the "Easy wild food guide". It includes seaweeds. They're pretty much all edible and taste great. Sea lettuce, for example, can be rinsed and eaten straight from the rockpool. Just make sure you're somewhere where the sea is clean, not some cess-pool like Redcar!

mackem 28,642 Posted April 27, 2008 Report Share Posted April 27, 2008 Fertelised straight from the ICI plant near seal sands(if its still there) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Elmerfudd 5 Posted April 27, 2008 Report Share Posted April 27, 2008 Fertelised straight from the ICI plant near seal sands(if its still there) Aah, to spend the night fishing off the headland, watching the glowing seals chase the 2 headed fish. With the exotic aroma of Middlesbrough stirring nausea in the soul, to be in Redcar on a summers eve is to be in heaven itself! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
