Best friends bringing seaweed BACK to the modern kitchen

“The only way to do great work is to love what you do. 
If you haven't found it yet, keep looking. Don't settle."

―?Steve Jobs        

We are not the first to acknowledge that Steve Jobs was right about @many things, including loving what you do. Across the pond and just above the Arctic Circle, two women live that every day.

You've been missing if you haven't heard the story of the Lofoten Seaweed founders. Tamara Singer and Angelita Eriksen bring together the best of two cultures into a sustainable revolution centered around friendship, education, and one enriching marine superfood: seaweed.

The Backstory: North Norwegian fire meets Japanese finesse

On a rugged coastline 100 miles north of the arctic circle, two women are taking Lofoten food traditions one step further…

Angelita grew up cutting cod tongues and baiting long lines for her fisherman father in the village of Napp. The ocean was both a lifeline and a lifestyle for her family. With her roots firmly in the Nordic fishing traditions, she developed a passionate curiosity about seaweed as the future food.

Tamara grew up in New Zealand, where her Japanese mother used seaweed in almost every meal. She brought her heirloom knowledge and love of Japanese cuisine to Norway, where she loves creating pure, authentic food with her favorite sea greens.

The combination of knowledge, experience, and traditions from opposite sides of the planet is at the heart of what makes Lofoten Seaweed unique. From diverse beginnings, united by a love of food and the ocean, Tamara and Angelita are on a mission to bring seaweed back into the modern kitchen.
