Thriving in the islands, edible seaweed is one food that’s loved
by islanders and has many names to it including Revo. It is eaten in various ways and in this picture shared, revo
salad is made when the seaweed is layered with tuna, onions and tomatoes and
then milked with fresh coconut milk. This mixture enables us to taste the sweet
creamy coconut milk with the salty taste of the seaweed. The tuna and
vegetables compliment the taste. It’s not the usual salad but it’s worth
having. I guess having seaweed salad from any shushi restaurant in Sydney could substitute
the feeling of having revo salad but it wouldn’t be really have the same taste to
it.
In the islands where locals get to harvest it straight from
the sandy banks and wash it in the sea to be eaten with chunks of the fresh
coconut meat, or even eaten with sweet potatoes or cassava! :)
