I believe these two files in the FOOD-BY-REGION section do discuss 
these cultures using seaweed and both were likely places it would be 
used. However, both are also cultures that we don't have period recipes 
from.
fd-Iceland-msg    (84K)  1/15/03    Food of medieval Iceland. Recipes.
fd-Wales-msg      (28K) 12/ 6/99    Food of medieval Wales. Recipes.

While you are there you might also feed "seaweed" into the search 
engine. Some of the other references might be of interest. Most of them 
do seem to be food related.
