Seaweed

[DemstarAus]

Hello All,

Here in Queensland, there is this reddish-brown seaweed that is always at the beach. It floats around in the water in clumps and depending on the tide there can be almost none or lots. I don't know what it's called.

It's not poisonous or anything, but my partner is allergic to it so can't swim in the ocean here as it gives him a nasty and painful rash all over his body.

I'm wondering if this seaweed grows/exists in Phuket?

Many Thanks

Dem

grows on seabed

when tide goes out you can pull it out

and dry it

when dry you can add water and eat raw or cook it

buy in thai markets at about30b for 30 grams

ripoff

in korea you get 1 1kg for 30b if i remember correctly

what region?

what area?

right off the beach?

or in the sea?

how far out?

how is it harvested?
