In another thread, I mentioned i had used some dried seaweed in a soup tonight. Which got me thinking about seaweed. A week ago I camped out near a rocky beach in Seward, Alaska, and in strolling along that beach at low tide, saw a lot of a bright green seaweed which goes by the common name of sea lettuce. I've collected and eaten this stuff elsewhere, and it is excellent. I didn't collect any at Seward, as there were warning signs posted about pollution in the area. But, for the uninformed:

This stuff looks almost artificial, like bright green cellophane. It is common on rocky beaches throughout North America and elsewhere. And it is really good to eat, both tasty and nutritious. Most USers have a ridiculous phobia about eating seaweed, for some reason, but seaweeds of many varieties are major food sources, especially in East Asia. Sea lettuce has the advantage of being both common and easy to recognize, because of the unique color. It can be eaten raw or cooked, contains no fat, and lots of useful vitamins and minerals.
Go forage on your local beach.
