Diving For Seaweed In Canada - MUNCHIES Guide To Victoria - Episode 1

Victoria is the capital of British Columbia, the City of Gardens, and a seaweed harvester’s heaven. Meet our host, Amanda Swinimer @dakinitidalwilds, also known as the Mermaid of the Pacific. On our first episode of MUNCHIES Guide to Victoria, Amanda free dives for wild seaweed off the coast of Victoria and sells her harvest to some of the best breweries, distilleries, and restaurants in town. On our first episode of MUNCHIES Guide to Victoria, Amanda starts it off where she’s most comfortable: in Victoria’s clear blue waters. After harvesting wild seaweed, she makes her way to Sheringham Distillery, a gin distiller who uses Amanda’s seaweed to make their flagship award-winning Seaside Gin. Amanda keeps the day going strong at Whistle Buoy Brewing Company where her seaweed is used to make a specialty neon green-blue beer. Finally, Amanda heads to LURE Restaurant & Bar to make some kelp-infused fish and chips and enjoy dinner full of scallops, salmon and Amanda's seaweed.
