Rating: 4.5; Vote: 2
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.

Hopefully we'll see some of the actual standout spots like Red Fish, Blue Fish instead of these posh fancy restaurants. Even having visited Victoria only once, I feel like this initial video is disappointing and doesn't show at all what the city has to offer.

Nice video, though I question whether Lure even has the best fish & chips in Victoria. Personally I think Red Fish Blue Fish and Willow's Galley are both better, and they are also both a heck of lot less pretentious and a lot more affordable.

Hey my city on the internet! Don’t tell people it’s the best city in Canada. It sucks here
Shaft was definitely created in Calgary, but has been popularized in Victoria. Only one place in Calgary really does it anymore.

Great video. I live south of Victoria in Washington state. Most Americans AND Canadians don't know how beautiful Victoria is. I've been to every major city in the US and Canada and I believe Victoria is a top city.

As a PNW kid this makes me want to return to the area then I remember how grey and drizzly it is for half the year.
I do love the landscape, food and lifestyle though. This episode only reinforces my affinity.

The shaft is a shot! And yes its supposed to be that big! Its meant to be drank fast the second you get it. Not sipped with dinner. How did nobody tell you that

Looks real good! Victoria is where my favourite internet celeb group Loading Ready Run are from, it's nice to find out more about the place: D

Over nine minutes of annoyance waiting for anything fish and chips related. And then an introduction Got it. Not watched

Pretty sure harvesting to sell is considered commercial and is illegal, even if she is a biologist and does so sustainably.
