Has anyone used this?  I found some at Harmons and it was like 2 or 3 bucks for a lot more sheets than I was getting at the lfs.  Is there something wrong with using this stuff?  It looks the same to me.  The ingredients on one package just say nori and on the other it says dried baked seaweed.  I've heard of people getting seaweed sheets (nori) from an oriental market but is this the same stuff?  Just want to make sure I'm not filling my tangs up with baked iceburg lettuce.

It is great. Get Roasted or Baked. NOT fried. I think I usually pay $1.89 for 10 sheets roughly 8"X10". They call it SushiNori.

Mike - Yeah thats the stuff. I don't know why I ever bought the stuff from the lfs now.  It is so much cheaper this way.  Oh well.  I am still probably going to buy the brown and red algae from the LFS because I didn't see anything but green at the grocery store.

That is a long drive for Aaron. Steve, you can go to the Asian Market at 78th & State on the South East corner.

Do they have red and brown at these markets?  If so it would be worth the drive (I'm down in Sandy often to visit the inlaws).

This is the red seaweed





Sorry for the open package and the half-used seaweedEmbarrassed.  The new one looks like a cake.  It is much cheaper than Nori (1 buck for 40g compared to 2 bucks for 20g of Nori) but harder to use.  It is basically a mesh of long strips of red seaweed.  As a result, the tangs have a hard time pulling it apart.  What I usually do is cut them into thin stripes, rehydrate them and pour them into the tank.  My tangs enjoy them.  I do to (I rip out a few pieces to nibble on from time to time, quite tasty).

All Vietnamese grocery stores that I frequent have these.  They are stocked right next to the noris.

I haven't seen the brown seaweed for sale.
If you can't bedazzle them with your brilliance, baffle them with your bs!

Sweet. Thanks for the tips. I'll have to pick the red up at one of these markets... the LFS still gets some of my cash for the brown though.
