Finding seaweeds could be difficult for some just now and in our little town I have heard that the local co-op is sold out. Here are links to some on line companies that harvest and sell seaweed in various sizes from small one-ounce packages to bulk - one half to full pounds. I recommend a bulk purchase as it makes the use of it feel less precious and it is readily available to throw in a handful to the day’s meal pot.
Here are some links for on line sources:

Cooking idea: Put seaweed in anything you cook with water – stock, rice, beans, stews, soup, sauces, spaghetti. If you are using large pieces pull them out at the end of cooking. If using small pieces just mix them in and serve.
Flaked seaweed is ok to use and blends into dishes easily. Be careful of powdered seaweed though, as it smells very strong and can cause taste problems in your cooking. We don’t want to scare anyone off!
