SANTA BARBARA - Welcome to beautiful Santa Barbara, California! And again a huge thank you to Visit California and Visit Santa Barbara for inviting me on this trip. Today we’re going on a seafood tour of Santa Barbara, especially focusing on local sea urchin (uni), spiny lobsters, and the unique and local box crab - let’s start eating! #SeeSB #SantaBarbara #VisitCalifornia
Again, thank you to Visit California (and Visit Santa Barbara) for sponsoring my trip.

Santa Barbara Fish Market (goo.gl/maps/Ny6voJizR8SVhERK6) - First thing in the morning we headed to the Santa Barbara boat harbor to walk around and learn about the unique fishery and fishing community. The highlight for me was heading over to Santa Barbara Fish Market where they shucked some fresh sea urchins and we ate them on spot. Santa Barbara is known throughout the world for their sea urchin, and having a fresh sea urchin is truly a magical food experience.
Santa Barbara Sailing Center ( / sbsailing ) - After walking around the Santa Barbara boat harbor, we then walked over to Santa Barbara Sailing Center for a sailboat ride. The ride was spectacular and offered great views of the mountains, and sea, and even some sea lions. We had a few snacks on board as well, just to hold us over.
Rosewood Miramar Beach (www.rosewoodhotels.com/en/mir...) - Next up on this seafood day in Santa Barbara, we headed over to Rosewood Miramar Beach where we met up with Chef Massimo who show us how his take on a spiny lobster roll topped with local sea urchin. We also hung out with Stephanie Mutz from Sea Stephanie Fish ( / seastephaniefish , who harvests and the local sea urchin and supplies Rosewood Miramar Beach - so it was extra special to hear from her about the behind the scenes of how she gets the fresh catch.
Santa Barbara Shellfish Company (goo.gl/maps/oUBNrynRfsKpNMkh8) - Finally, we ended this amazing food tour in Santa Barbara with a walk down historic Stearns Wharf, and straight to Santa Barbara Shellfish Company, which is one of the best seafood restaurants in the city. Along with their incredible uni and scallop bites, I had to try their rare box crab.

My uncle in law used to be the Ethiopian ambassador from Japan. Thus I have always wanted to travel there. Not sure if that would ever happen though.
I've lived in california all my 26 years and it took me 24 years to finally go to Santa Barbara when I got there I fell in love such a beautiful place.
Hello Mark My husband and I live in #SantaBarbaraCalifornia we do not miss a video of you! We are happy that you have visited this beautiful place we would have loved to have met you.

I shared the same excitement when I saw this video. Born and raised in Santa Barbara. I moved 5 years ago. I miss home. This video brought back great memories. Can't wait to go back for a home visit. Now after watching this even more so.
How wonderful it is to watch these videos, for all of us that so want to see, discover and taste Mark with his wonderful personality makes us feel that we are also having these experiences that we are unable to do. Thank you for your hard work and making it possible for us to see all these wonders from all corners of the world.
Marks videos give me comfort it’s unexplainable but I just love the way he goes all around the world to show us his experience with food and I love it good work mark!!!
I can’t watch your videos without eating a sandwich or having food by my side. God bless you and yours Mark.
Santa Barbara is much more then seafood. State St. Is fab, with all it's restaurants, entertainment from locals and shops Their library is the best I've ever seen.
I’m from Santa Barbara, I appreciate You coming By and Showing Love !!! “Whoooooow”
Done watching BEST EVER FOOD REVIEW SHOW♥️ And now watching this vlog💪
Never seen golden sea urchin. Greetings from Scotland 😊 Have a wonderful day everyone 🌻
How beautiful is Santa Barbara.Your videos teaches us about foods we never known about but also of the beauty of our precious world 🌎 ❤
Mark!! I’ve been watching your videos for years now and love every where you go!! I’m a local born and raised and Santa Barbara and am super happy and thankful you got to come to my home town and enjoy food! Keep up the good work Brotha 🤙🏽
Uni, Sailboat charcuterie board, Uni Lobster Roll, Box crab head soup..... Wow, that was ALL AMAZING Mark !
