Book Description
This book describes, in a humorous manner, a period of time, 1960 to 1997, and a unique summertime occupation, Irish Sea Mossing, in a small seaside community approximately 30 miles south of Boston Massachusetts, on the Atlantic Ocean. The book describes the author's discovery of this unique job and his total embracing of it for the better part of 25 years. During this story you will meet many of the other young men who shared in the times and activities described in this book. Irish Sea Mossing was brought to the Scituate shores by Irish immigrants during the mid 1800s. Recognizing the same underwater plant that they had used to thicken their Blanc Mange pudding in Ireland, they knew that they could gather it and sell it to food manufacturers for its food binding abilities. Soon a thriving business developed as the local lads went out in their dories and daily gathered the moss during each summer season. Mossing became an integral part of the community as an addition to lobstering, clamming and fishing. The industry continued until 1997, at which time modern technology and foreign markets dictated an end to this wonderful time. Join us in this book as we reminisce and relive our wonderful times. As the final sentence in our book reads, "We will go down to the sea no more. Our day is gone, perhaps never to return. But oh what times we had!

Book Description
Some might be put off by its texture, aroma, or murky origins, but the fact of the matter is seaweed is one of the oldest human foods on earth. And prepared the right way, it can be absolutely delicious. Long a staple in Asian cuisines, seaweed has emerged on the global market as one of our new superfoods, a natural product that is highly sustainable and extraordinarily nutritious. Illuminating seaweed’s many benefits through a fascinating history of its culinary past, Kaori O’Connor tells a unique story that stretches along coastlines the world over. O’Connor introduces readers to some of the 10,000 kinds of seaweed that grow on our planet, demonstrating how seaweed is both one of the world’s last great renewable resources and a culinary treasure ready for discovery. Many of us think of seaweed as a forage food for the poor, but various kinds were often highly prized in ancient times as a delicacy reserved for kings and princes. And they ought to be prized: there are seaweeds that are twice as nutritious as kale and taste just like bacon—superfood, indeed. Offering recipes that range from the traditional to the contemporary—taking us from Asia to Europe to the Americas—O’Connor shows that sushi is just the beginning of the possibilities for this unique plant.
