Sea Forest (Badasoop) is a premium seafood brand established in 1980.
Sea Forest’s main product, gamtae is edible brown algae that’s know for its uniquely sweet and bitter flavors.
Fresh and clean gamtae requires very specific growth conditions, production process and storage environment.
Sea Forest’s gamtae products are made using the best gamtae that can be acquired every year in a clean environment.
Gamtae which was not popular and was only known to very few regions, was introduced to consumers for the very first time by Sea Forest and now Sea Forest’s gamtae is a popular ingredient sought after by many hotel and Michelin star chefs.
