Heritage Seaweed

Heritage Seaweed is a shop in Portland, Maine, focused on Maine seaweed and the foods made from it. Dried seaweeds sit alongside hot sauces and seaweed cookbooks, and a discovery box introduces newcomers to five varieties. The shop also carries teas, bath and body products, candles, games, books, greeting cards and other Maine-made gifts.

The shop occupies three rooms of a sprawling 1800s livery stables complex in the Old Port, a short walk from Ocean Gateway and the ferry terminal. It suits visitors looking for something unusual to take home. Gift cards are for in-store use only, and hours are shorter early in the week than on weekends.
