Seamoss or Irish Moss (Mousse d'Irlande) is a marine plant which grows abundantly along the shorelines of the Southern Caribbean Islands. It is fan shaped with shapely finger like prongs and is translucent when first harvested.

Seamoss is processed into a nutritious, invigorating drink, which restores energy and vitality. Grenada folklore abounds with reference to the powers of Seamoss; How it acts as a romantic stimulant; How it drastically reduces the effect of alcohol; How a night watch on a sail boat became less tiring after drinking Seamoss.
