Scotland-based Aquascot, the dedicated salmon supplier to UK retailer Waitrose, is acquiring the Shore Seaweed brand.

Having been a sister company for a number of years, Shore Seaweed will now join the wider Aquascot group, the company said.

The seaweed snacking brand produces a range of seaweed chips, pestos and ramen broths.

While Shore is now officially joining the Aquascot group, the same products will be available on retail shelves and its day-to-day operations will continue to run as normal.
