Fish Pie with Mara Seaweed Kombu and Shony Flakes by Fiona Houston of Mara Seaweed
Mara Seaweed was the brainchild of two friends who met at the school gates whilst waiting to pick up their children. Having a common interest in foraging and Scotland’s natural larder led them to explore seaweed, its health benefits and taste.
Four years later, they employ 16 people and sell their seaweed products throughout the world. Find out more at www.maraseaweed.com.
This year Mara Seaweed will be showcasing their product range at the Crail Food Festival from June 10 – 12 .

Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
