Hello again Josh. We have a lot of kelp here in West Wales (UK). Nobody eats it, probably because it's too tough. It was processed years ago to extract useful things such as fertilizer, iodine and jelly. There is one species called sugar kelp which contains carbohydrates that can be extracted. Sheep farmers in N.W. Scotland and W. Ireland allow their sheep on to the beach after a storm to graze on washed up seaweeds which can improve the meat. In the rocky parts of Ireland the locals clear an area of rocks, then use them to make an enclosure, and then spread kelp over the land to make new soil in the new field. The kelp rots down while being washed by the frequent rain. We eat a type of seaweed here in Wales called 'laverbread'. Its the same as 'nori' used in Japanese cuisine. Though its only tasty when coated in oatmeal and fried with bacon. I use the washed up kelp in my garden composter, it's very good for plants. It's a good job it's not harvested commercially as the 'kelp forests' are an important habitat for other species.
Wow this is such fascinating and detailed information. Thanks so much for sharing it. I might have to look into harvesting a few small bits of kelp and seaweed to feed my small potato patch! Also that fried oatmeal, kelp and bacon sounds quite delicious - I may have to try it myself.
