Here in Maine, there is at least one company pushing seaweed really hard. They are getting all of our lobster fishers to invest into it as a diversification since global warming is going to kill the lobster business. I have a friend who used to work for them even, and you can see them on Youtube talking about their business and products https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XhpGNuWRQTE https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XhpGNuWRQTE
Even if you don't buy some of the marketing wankery that CEO spouts, ground up seaweed and kelp are just straight up a better version of salt. It's salty, a little umami, and utterly delicious.
They are growing millions of pounds of the stuff and I think they are the biggest distributor in the US right now. Really awesome seeing locals do good things with our local businesses. I have a lot of connections to lobster fishers, and I want them to have a bright future.
I expect it to be a really cheap and plentiful food additive at some point, maybe a good source of MSG or something.
