A large box arrived at the door, carried inside by a strong-looking fellow from the back of a van. Upon opening this box, we were perplexed to find a huge bunch of bladderwrack seaweed. Although we occasionally get sent all sorts of weird and wonderful things, a large box of bladderwrack was definitely a cause for confusion. We love seaweed of course and we know bladderwrack does have some culinary uses, but such a large amount, seemingly fresh from the sea, was definitely perplexing, to say the least.
