Wondering where's the best place locally to buy seaweed/sushi sheets?

SeaHorse_Fanatic · #1 02-21-2016, 05:27 AM

I usually buy it from that Korean market on North Rd & Lougheed, across from the old Big Al's/Island Pets.

Just wondering if anyone has bought the unseasoned, straight seaweed nori sheets from anywhere else that might be a good deal (i.e. TnT, Superstore, etc?)

Prefer to buy the big 50 sheet packs.

Thanks,

Anthony

I saw some big packs at H Mart in Langley a week or so ago. I'm going there tomorrow to buy some so I'll let you know

H Mart Coquitlam is usually where I've been buying mine. I used to buy from Sunrise Market in Chinatown but rarely ever head in that area anymore.

Another type of seaweed to consider is called dulse - it is not roasted so is the best condition to feed to fish. My tangs (and other fish) love it. You can buy it at Saveon Foods and Choices Market. I love it myself...although not all people do!

I get mine from Osaska (glorified T&T) in Park Royal, West Vancouver. I'll look for larger packs when I am there next.

Also interested to try dulse seaweed ...

You should be able to buy Nori/sushi/seaweed at ANY supermarket it is used to make sushi.

I got a 10 sheet pack for $2.79. That'll last me a year I should think

In the past I've purchased nori from Sunset Market on Powell Street and Gore in Chinatown not too far from the old VPD office at 312 Main Street.

It's been awhile but it's about $6 for 50 sheets.

Just came back from H Mart and its now $15.99 for 100 sheets (least expensive /sheet pack). Prices have gone way up since I last bought it. May try Sunrise Market in Chinatown again next time I'm in the area. Just bought the one pack which should last a few months.

Here's an update........

Sunrise sells nori for $$6.79 for 50 sheets (125g)

It was $5 a few years back.

Just in case for the one who may not know about Sunrise Market --> http://www.yelp.ca/biz/sunrise-market-vancouver
