Seaweed Item ID and Cheat
The item ID for Seaweed in Stardew Valley is:152
This cheat works on PC, XBOX One, PS4 and the Nintendo Switch.
Item spawning in Stardew Valley isn't accomplished through typical commands. Instead, it involves a cheat method where you name your character, or an animal, with the item code of the desired item, enclosed in square brackets [ and ]. Include the brackets when naming.
Spawn Using Animal Name
To spawn this item, buy an animal (we recommend a chicken because it is the cheapest) from Marnie's Ranch, name it [152]. You will then receive the Seaweed item.
Spawn Using Character Name
Since you can only set your character's name once at the game's inception, we advise using the animal naming method.
However, if you opt for this method, name your character [152]while creating your save file. When you converse with any villager who mentions your name in their dialogue, like Gus at the Stardrop Saloon, you'll receive the Seaweed item.

Seaweed is an item that can be caught using a Fishing Pole in the ocean during all seasons, including a 41% chance to catch Seaweed while fishing in the deep-sea submarine ride at the Night Market. It is never caught in Crab Pots.
It can also be foraged from a narrow strip of shore by the Tide Pools, i.e., to the east of the wooden footbridge.[1], but it spawns relatively infrequently (3% chance per night). The saltwater crab pot fish (Cockle, Crab, Lobster, Mussel, Oyster, and Shrimp) may produce 1-3 Seaweed in a Fish Pond when the population of the pond is at least 1.
Catching Seaweed with a Fishing Pole always produces standard-quality seaweed and gives 3 Fishing XP. Picking up Seaweed from the beach gives 7 Foraging XP, with quality controlled by foraging skill and bonuses (including possibly iridium quality).
Seaweed is displayed in the Fish section of the collection tab, and counts towards the four fishing Achievements.[2] However, it is otherwise not considered to be a fish, and therefore cannot be sold to Willy at the Fish Shop, does not benefit from fish price bonuses, and cannot be used in fish recipes.
It's also possible to find Seaweed in the "Dangerous Mines" on floors 1-39 when the Shrine of Challenge is turned on. This seaweed will always be normal quality.
