Câr-Y-Môr Shop

Althoughnot eaten widely in the UK, seaweed has great potential to contribute towards health and nutrition. Being low in fat they contain a wide spectrum of nutrients.

Their recently new shop based on the outskirts of St Davids stocks some delicious and interesting goodies! Open 7 days a week they sell fresh local seafood on order including crab, mussels, lobster and oysters as well as some products they’ve created using the seaweed they grow.

On our visit to the shop, we spotted a delicious-looking ketchup made of tomatoes, gochujang and sugar kelp. Another interesting find was the seaweed granola made with sugar kelp, orange, quinoa and maple syrup. If eating seaweed isn’t your thing then maybe a seaweed drink could convince you. The orange marmalade and mango switchel is made with their kombu seaweed. We were told it makes for a delicious seaweed cocktail!

Car Y Mor also has some great innovative products that can be used for cooking, including sea truffle oil which is infused with their hand-harvested pepper dulse. We also spotted some seasonings that add earthy and umami flavours to dishes.

Whilst we were there they mentioned to us their fairly new product, the SeaMôr Bag. Seaweed is apparently really good for your skin! The SeaMôr Bag can be used in baths, releasing oils to help with common skin conditions like psoriasis and eczema.

If you’re holidaying in Pembrokeshire with Coastal Cottages, it’s definitely worth the trip to the Câr-Y-Môr shop near St Davids.
