HEB nori

[txstateunivreefer]

Where in the store is the nori located? is it in all HEBs or just in some im out down here in Bay City and i dont know if they have it.


If not who is the best mail order source?

[erikharrison]

You have to probably ask someone to find it. They keep moving it at my store from endcap to endcap. The brand name is EDOMAE. It's used for sushi wraps. My store used to have it at the seafood area, but now it's on the endcap for the aisle with all of the odd foods.

[hobogato]

if you look around for an asian food market, you can get it even cheaper than as HEB, and they usually have several different kinds.

[tony]

there are a couple of asian markets in the pat booker road area in north SA

[Noodle]

Also, be careful that you don't pick up any nori that's been seasoned. As hobo said, the asian food stores are a good place to pick it up for cheap. It's also the perfect location to find fish roe too.

[erikharrison]

As far as fish roe goes, you use it to feed your corals correct? Is there anything to watch out for when buying that?

[Noodle]

Yep -- flying fish roe (tobiko) for the fish, corals, and 'nems.
I make sure roe is bright (w/o food colorings), no strange food additives. To be doubly sure it's clean, I usually rinse/strain the roe in either saltwater or rodi water (whichever is handiest :)) before feeding.

[erikharrison]

Thanks for the info, I'll be sure to check that out!

If you don't mind the QUANTITY, Ace turned me on to this place:

[hobogato]

glad you still had the link bill - i forgot about that (dont know how, still have a box full from the last order i did). my fish fight for it :)

[Bill S]

Yeah, even though I bought at least a year's supply, I bookmarked it.

[txstateunivreefer]

bill what is your guess on how many sheets to each $36 order?

[Bill S]

1000 half sheets. I feed 1 half sheet a day!

[jrsatx20]

my heb has it in the asian area with the soy sauce

[Darth-Tater]

Yep I ordered a case a yr ago and the fish went crazy over it. I too lost the link. Thanks for saving it Bill.

Not all HEB's have it. The one by my house has an Asian food section, but no nori for some reason.

[jrsatx20]

true. the heb at wurbach and IH10 has it for sure, but the one at west ave and 410 doesn't.

[txstateunivreefer]

Well i moved from san marcos to matagorda so not sure if they will carry it

[captexas]

If you are still trying to find it in a store, you can also try Wal-Mart. I was shopping late tonight and decided to check their "Asian" food section. They had 1 brand of dried seaweed and it was $1.98 for 20 sheets that are 8" x 4". Not as a good of a deal as the website Bill posted, but still better than what it costs at an LFS.

Will this stuff break up like the Ocean Nurrition does?

I have picke up some dry kelp at the asian markert here in Austin. I have to soak for several days in tank water to make it soft. It seems to do ok but a little tuff.

Dave-

[stephencraig]

Is this stuff better than what is in the LFS, less expensive, or both?

Fish have no problem demolishing it, right out of the bag. It holds together ok, but as they tear it up and drag it around the tank, they take it apart. I'd say it's about perfect.

[Henry]

For those in the windcrest area, the HEB over here has it. In fact if anyone wants some, I have atleast 5 packs of the stuff that I'm willing to part with as I no longer have a tank up.

[erikharrison]

Wrap itup like a paper football and affix it to your veggie clip with the pointed end out. It's alot harder for tangs to rip to shreds.

[dapettit]

I'll try that. Roght now its just swirls around the tank and nobody seems to be intreseted in it.

[erikharrison]

Use a veggie clip or rubberband it to a rock.

[Bill S]

In my tank, it lasts about 20 seconds... It's like watching piranhas eating a cow on TV...

That's why I use the paper footbal fold! They rip and tear at the base of any shape that I put in there. I used to roll it up as tight as possible, but they had it shredded in a few minutes. Now I just barely get it wet and fold it up. ALL of my fish go nuts over it.

I spent $36.00 not including shipping for 1000 1/2 sheets. That's .036 cents per sheet which will last over 2.5 years if you feed 1 sheet everyday.

Ocean Nutrition Bulk Seaweeds Green Marine $30.00 not including shipping (0nline) for 50 Sheets. That's .60 cents per sheet which will last almost 2 months if you feed 1 sheet everyday.

Is it any good. Seems to be since alot of the folks here use it.

I'm assuming I can freeze this to keep fresh.

[Bill S]

It comes in sealed packs. Shouldn't be a need to freeze, but that's not a bad idea.

[stephencraig]

Anyone interested in a goup buy? Not worried about the price, just didn't want to go 2.5 years to go through it. That doesn't seem like it could be good for that long.

Want to go 1/2 on it? When I get paid on Friday we can go half if you want.... It totals to 44 with shipping so we can each do 22 and still last over a year... The ones at the lfs last me about 1 week and its $5 so if we do that thats like... $0.34/week instead lol. Your counting the sheets though, haha jk....

[stephencraig]

I'm good for half or so...let's do it.

Stephen

[tropicana]

K when i get paid friday, I have a tight budget right now due to saving for my cruise this summer! I need money for the excursions lol.... But we can do it friday or saturday, whichever you prefer... and how would you like to do it? Pay you by paypal and you order or however you prefer?

[stephencraig]

I'll order it and you can just pay when I give you your part. Do me a favor and send me a PM to remind me to order this weekend (I get distracted easily since I started this new job).

Stephen

[stephencraig]

Make that an email to "stephencraig@austin.rr.com". I'm not getting my notifications from MAAST for some reason.

Thanks.

[tropicana]

I sent an email from kx250freak@yahoo.com but I think i forgot to add the subject.

[stephencraig]

Sent you an email back.

All,
Which Grade are y'all ordering, the A, B, C, or D?

Stephen

[tropicana]

Is grade D good enough for our fish?

[dapettit]

Did you guys ever do the group order?

[princer7]

I would be interested in participating in a group by for Austin.

[dapettit]

I have some if interested. Received it last week.

[princer7]

That would be great. Let me know the details of what you have for sale. :)

[stephencraig]

I just got in an order of 1000 sheets I'm splitting with Travis, but would be happy to split my side again (250 sheets) if someone wants it. I'm in NW Asutin.

Stephen

[princer7]

Stephen, I'll split your half with you. I work off 360 between 183 and 2222. Let me know what works for your schedule.

[stephencraig]

I live off 183 and Oak Knoll. I normally don't get home until after 7:00. So some time after that during the week, or this weekend. I think half of my half would be $11.00. PM me and I'll send you my cell #.

Stephen

[dapettit]

If any one else is interested I am willing to part with some as well. I am located east of I35 by Techridge.
