Kelp is a type of seaweed found in Starsand Island's ocean and coastal waters. Along with Wakame, it is one of the two seaweed varieties in the game. Kelp is primarily used in the Tofu Seaweed Soup recipe and can be sold at shops for a small profit.
Kelp can be gathered from the island's ocean areas:
Shoreline: Check beaches and rocky coastline sections for Kelp washed up on shore or growing in shallow water.
Ocean Fishing: Kelp can be caught while fishing in ocean spots. Seaweed appears as fish-shaped shadows in the water, similar to actual fish.
Port Areas: After completing the Starsand Port Construction quest (15 Stone + 15 Softwood), you gain access to deeper ocean fishing areas where Kelp may appear more frequently.

Keep an eye out for Kelp while fishing in ocean areas. It can be easy to miss among fish shadows.
Tofu Seaweed Soup provides stamina recovery and is a solid everyday meal once you have a steady supply of Tofu and Kelp.
Kelp and Wakame are found in the same general areas, so gather both types when visiting the coast.
While Kelp sells for a small amount, cooking it into soup first increases your profit significantly.
