  • Made my way down the coast to LA county to explore the tide pools. We found many things alike but so many differences as well! Watch and enjoy!

    Thanks for coming down our way chef. I know l lots of people are requesting location here and I think I recognize the spot, but I assume you're not disclosing the actual location out of respect which is understandable. I think you would agree (and if you don't I apologize for the assumption) that exact locations either here or up your way isn't required for a successful day harvesting. More important is knowing when to go, which species to target, the catch and season regulations and how to respect the environment so others can enjoy it as well. As long as people find some rocky areas that get good exposure at low tide they should have a great day out regardless. Thanks for the content and mahalo for the ono grinds.

We have sea hare's here in Wales UK but only a third of the size of the one shown ( when distressed our sea hare secrete a purple dye/ink for protection ),keep up the good work,kind regards Craig

    Just watched a couple more of your videos and subscribed. Could you please mention any precautions needed before eating foraged food, especially raw? Should we be concerned about the quality of the sea water in certain areas, or the time of year, etc.? I love the concept of eating uni fresh and raw, as you do, but could you address any risks? I would be inclined to cook it just to be safe, but I understand that gives it a different consistency and tase. How would you recommend cooking it, (simply.)? Thanks. Great series!

    • @OutdoorChefLife
      @OutdoorChefLife  4 года назад +1

      As long as the water you're harvesting them from isn't crazy contaminated, uni will most likely be ok to eat raw. They're only diet is kelp so there's no parasites to ever worry about. As long as the water isn't too dirty.
