The pot method is perfectly acceptable these days -- a lot of the beaches have banned firepits/campfires, and at home no-one really wants to dig a hole in their backyard.
Anyways. Rockweed is sort of the go-to seaweed for this since it's so abundant and easy to gather back home, but kelp will work too (and is good for wrapping up cuts of a firm white fish or scallops to add to the bake). Just make sure that if you're collecting it yourself, you're getting it from a clean source. Use the seaweed or kelp to line the pot and to separate the layers of ingredients. You CAN skip it if it's too much of a hassle or don't want that extra seaweedy flavor.
Also, don't forget the beer. You don't need anything fancy, we just used whatever was on hand and being drunk... so probably with my family, it was mostly Budweiser.
