Can I use human seaweed for my fish

I make a lot of Miso soup and I use Wakame seaweed for this (amazon.com/Emerald-Cove-Silver-Seaweed-1-76-Ounce/dp/B00121884G/) Since there is always plenty left in the packs could I use that to feed whatever likes seaweed in my aquarium? It is a lot cheaper than seaweed from a pet store - almost a quarter ($3.50/oz) and ships free. If I can use this it would be awesome :)
TIA,
Birgit

Yes, as long as it's plain, dried wakame with no added salt, seasonings, oils, or preservatives. Many herbivorous marine fish, snails, and some invertebrates will happily graze on it. Just rehydrate a small piece, clip it in the tank, and remove any uneaten portions after a few hours to maintain water quality.
