The southern part of Po Toi Island is rich in laver, which is why the name "Tai" (hence the name "moss") comes from this. The islanders used to make a living by picking laver, and whenever the laver was in season, they would go to the shore to pick it themselves. Although the tradition of picking seaweed has long disappeared, Po Toi Island still has an inseparable relationship with seaweed. If you have time, you can try the island's signature dish: seaweed egg noodles ($35)
