Harvesting the natural wealth of the sea

Family-run Wild Irish Sea Veg is tapping into consumers’ growing taste for seaweed and after bagging a deal with a NY deli and aiming to grow sales to Britain and beyond, there’s no limit to the company’s ambitions, writes Trish Dromey

The nutritional power of seaweed is being harnessed by a small West of Ireland company supplying speciality food stores around the country with handpicked wild seaweed harvested from the Clare coastline.

Spanish Point Sea Vegetables, newly renamed Wild Irish Sea Veg, sells dried produce to around 500 outlets in Ireland, one high-end speciality store in New York, and, is aiming to develop sales to Britain.
