And if anyone doesn't want to check the link: to make Crispy Seaweed, remove the outer leaves from the cabbage and cut out the stalks. Roll the leaves into cigar shapes and slice across into the thinnest possible shreds with a very sharp knife. Heat oil in a deep-fryer to 350 degrees F . Toss in some cabbage and cook for just a few seconds. As soon as it starts to crisp, remove and drain on paper towels. Sprinkle with salt and sugar. Toss, and serve as a garnish on the soup or just nibble; it's quite addictive - worse than peanuts or popcorn!

And in case you ask, there are several seaweeds you can eat - http://www.irishseaweeds.com/shop/seavegetables.asp is a good source. You need to get it from from unpolluted waters, so be careful about just picking it from the shore.
