Enter the world of seaweed harvesters
Meet John and Barbara Stephens-Lewallen: They harvest seaweed. Operators of the Mendocino Sea Vegetable Company in Philo, California, the Stephens-Lewallens are farmers/fishermen of another stripe. Their catch includes bladderwrack, sea lettuce, kombu, and nori.
The couple reveals the culinary delights of seaweed tea and fried seaweed. And Chef Eric Tucker of Millennium Restaurant demonstrates what someone can do with a little sea palm.
This is a regular series called Obsessives, in which CHOW explores the worlds of singularly focused food-industry figures. These are the people with the dirty hands, answering detailed questions about the work they do.
Keep up the great work on this series. Always informative and fun to watch. Thanks.
I love it! Thanks for giving me something to send around to friends who think I'm mad for eating seaweed- like they haven't already, only they don't know it- my private joke on them.
More than I ever wanted to know about seaweed - and makes me want to run right out and try some. What a great way to learn about new foods.
Really informative - plus it's inspiring my next career move: I want to run away to California and be a seaweed gatherer!
That was really cool!!! I would love to see more shows like this!
historic seaweed bread!

I enjoyed the video but maybe that's because I love seaweed!
