I had 3 bowls of this, so there’s not much left in the bag.  Maybe one servings worth?  Stupid serving sizes.

Snack: apple + Trilogy Kombucha

In the afternoon, Kyle went on a walk and wound up in our old neighborhood and decided to pop into Santa Monica Seafood.  This is the only place I’ve found close to me that makes delicious seaweed salad EXACTLY like the kind I first fell in love with in NYC.

I got a lot.  1.189 pounds to be exact.  Hellooooo seaweed.

Hmmm…my dinner kinda lacked in protein.  But I had quinoa with eggs for breakfast, so I guess I’m not a total disaster.  🙂

This is honestly the best seaweed salad.  Ever.  I love it.

If you live in LA you should definitely hit up Santa Monica Seafood.  They are a family owned place, but they are the largest seafood distributor in the southwest and they are totally committed to responsible sourcing and sustainability.  And they are SO knowledgeable.  I’m surprised I’ve never blogged about this place before.  We used to live right across the street from them!  They have a restaurant in the store, which carries specialty market items, like fancy pasta and stuff.  But really, they are best known for their amazing seafood.  I’m a big fan of the prepared salads section (I was eyeing the tomato salad and shrimp ceviche on this particular day).

But I just came home with the seaweed salad.

Are you a fan of seaweed salad?  Do you have a favorite place to get it?

I used to get mine form the Gary Null’s Uptown Whole Food in NYC.  It was made by Macro Vegetarian, which you can see in this post.

    YES, I love seaweed salad! It has been a little while since I’ve had it though.. I usually only get it when I go out to sushi 🙂

  2. Red Deception

    I adore seaweed salad! However, the local Japanese place in town puts fish sauce in it – NOT vegan! I’ve been careful to ask now when I go out to have some. Sadly, it is not often enough.

    That is very new to me! I’ve never had seaweed-but now I’m curious to try it!

    Seaweed salad is one of my favorite foods. It’s especially cute when my daughter slurps it up with chop sticks like it’s candy.

    i’ve never had seaweed salad! i’ve always been a little grossed out by the texture…but maybe i should give it a try:)

    I’ve never tried seaweed salad before, the texture slightly freaks me out a bit, but I do love kelp noodles!

    I freaking LOVE seaweed salad. Have you ever tried making it at home? I can never get it as good as in the restaurants/stores! SO frustrating. I wonder what their secret is?!

    It’s so funny that the commenters either LOVE seaweed salad, or haven’t tried it….

    I’m in the first category, looove it, and at my fave local bar they have it for two bucks on the happy hour menu. (Thus I eat it a lot.) I’m also not at all picky about seaweed salad.

    I went to a sushi restaurant in San Diego once that had big bowls of miso soup WITH a big pile of seaweed in it… GENIUS.

  14. Irina @ ChocolaTeaTime
