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.

Mark you are awesome! I enjoy your videos so much. I even got my 69 year old dad hooked on your videos. He suffers from dementia but somehow your videos get him to just sit and watch for hours. I believe you are a great man of God. Keep spreading joy and starting friendships, this world needs it. Stay safe and happy travels.
@ Shawn I am a nurse and love your comment!
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.
Mark is so respectful and appreciative of all the places, cultures and food. Awesome
Love in the world does exist ❤ love you all!
“Eat it dadda. Like a dog” lol we love Micah!
Hi
Let eat like a pig Oink oInk
Lol!! I can't believe you said that!! You're funny!!
One of the most beautiful cities, Santa Bárbara our Californian Riviera!! 💕
Hey 👋 u are pretty 😍
I love Santa Barbara one of my favorite places in the world. Hate the oil rigs 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. We like it a lot when you visit our Mexico 🇲🇽 cute and beloved when you ate tacos with Lalo from Ruta de la Garnacha !! When you see him again, say hello from us Fernando and Lulú 🙏🏻🙏🏻 ♥ ️ ♥ ️ Blessings !!
Uni, Sailboat charcuterie board, Uni Lobster Roll, Box crab head soup..... Wow, that was ALL AMAZING Mark !
Never seen golden sea urchin. Greetings from Scotland 😊 Have a wonderful day everyone 🌻
Thanks to you and your family for visiting my hometown of SB! Many hard working fishermen in our city! Besides are great local seafood, our Hispanic/Mexican food is outstanding!! Safe travels!!
Yes very indeed!! A lot of Hispanic/Mexicans here, our culture is very beautiful and yes I agree the food is really amazing! SB is just honestly nice and peaceful. The mountains and the beaches are beautiful!
Do you have Taco Bell?
No way! I'm from Santa Barbara, glad to see you here and enjoying the food! It is such an honor to have you in my city, I'm so excited you took the time to take in all the beauty of where I've been raised! 😊
My home town SANTA BARBARA The SANTA BARBARA shellfish company is where I took my friend from Navajo land ,she loved the food ❤
@Hummingbird Redhand oh, how lovely! Glad to see another local here :)
I was born and raised here too, lived here all my life. Unfortunately, I am trying to save up enough money to move away, but I can’t even do that because of how expensive it is, lol Honestly tho, it really is a wonderful place to live though if you have the money :) At the rate at which I’m saving up, I’ll probably live here the rest of my life XD
There's really no place like Santa Barbara. We live where people vacation. Blessed.
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.
love from ethiopia...pls mr mark ...come back to ethiopian again ..and show the world that we are still love and peace....
Visiting Ethiopia 🇪🇹 at the time of writing this is kind of suicidal.
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 can’t watch your videos without eating a sandwich or having food by my side. God bless you and yours Mark.
My grandmother and I watch all your videos. Keep them coming !!
I’m from Santa Barbara, I appreciate You coming By and Showing Love !!! “Whoooooow”
Hi Mark and family! When describing you and your channel I always say "He's a happy guy and it is infectious." You sure have given me a different and fun way to the enjoy and think of my food.
You could make a Happy Happy Happy Dog montage of Mark and it would fit perfectly 🤣
Yeah. I am having a depressive time and seeing Mark smile and seeing him be so kind reminds me that there are nice people.in the world.
Thank you very much Beth!
Santa Barbra has one of the must beautiful court houses, its always worth a visit when in town. Great town, love that fish market!
How beautiful is Santa Barbara.Your videos teaches us about foods we never known about but also of the beauty of our precious world 🌎 ❤
As a native Californian (Orange County) Santa Barbara is my go-to for rest & relaxation. Glad you had a nice time Mark in one of my all time favorite places. Love your channel BTW!
What an enriched life your son has, how lucky he is to travel to all these beautiful places over the world.. 👍💕💕💕
Tasting the freshest seafood on a boat is just as perfect! Beautiful ocean and the sky makes this special meal more memorable 😃It must be great to feel the ocean wind as well😍💕
How does the uni compare to Japanese uni?? 😐😐😐😐😐
kzhead.info/sun/eqyPdb6GsKGGd3A/bejne.html
@@John77Doe Yea I wanna know too... Althou I would expect Japanese Uni to be better
❤
The palm trees look gorgeous. The nearby ocean is really refreshing. No other place must be like Santa Barbara. The seafood looks very appetizing as well. Cheers!
Done watching BEST EVER FOOD REVIEW SHOW♥️ And now watching this vlog💪
Mark... I gotta say that this was one of your top 3 video intro you've made mate.. so so well done.
Love seeing what a wonderful dad Mark is. Have fun to you three (Mark, Ying, Maicah)! 💙
Why do I just smile the whole time I watch Mark's videos? Pure bliss and peace. Mark, you are an absolute master of your craft. Thank you sir!
Amen
Very TRUE
Wow, those sea urchins reminded me of my childhood 😍 I used to travel to some islands near my hometown in Brazil, and me and my cousins loved to catch sea urchins, crack em open and eat them at the shore! Good ol' times... ❤️
Very cool to hear that, thank you for sharing Carol!
What a great experience! the urchins remind me of the "Moster University" movie in the toxicity challenge, haha it's kind of funny, I've always wanted to touch one of them. How beautiful that you have such beautiful memories of your childhood
And I think to see urchins where a heck of a lot cheaper back in your time because now most restaurants charge you $30 per person so I'm glad you got to catch your own and do your own thing that is very very cool enjoy hey where's the tamarind? Got to dip those sea urchin meat in that chutney
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.
I love that you are not just eating, but also educating us where our food comes from. It's been about a year since I watched your content and this part of the video is much improved.
Mark congratulations on 8.22M subscribers and counting!!! Your hard work, fantastic attitude and amazing videos are always beautiful.
Thank you very much Deana!
Sonny's coming....
wrr
Amen
yah nearly 10M now!... he may say "OH!, h ho ho ho wow!" too much on every descriptor like a spirited child but knowing him, I can judge how "Wow!" he really thinks it is or "em, em em em!" he thinks it is.
9:46 The captain of the boat is like explaining some important facts and Mark is like "Oh yeah, Apricots" hahaha ! classic Mark Wiens.
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 🤙🏽
Aloha Mark, I'm originally from Maui, Hawaii, but now live in Santa Barbara, CA. Would have love to seen you and said "Ho Wow" 🤣 Keep being amazing braddah🤙🏽
*I'm remembering when I called Micha, baby Micha, no more he's growing up fast, Mark thanks for this fantastic land-sea and food-tour!* 🌴👍
Yea! Me too! Its like we are in this journey with him
I am so excited and honored that you are in the States, and I can't wait for Micah, Ming & you to be able to travel again to India, Europe, etc. only because Micah has gotten so big & NOW even with him still being younger he's able to appreciate the food, the land & the people, different cultures. 🥰
Thank you very much!
I always wonder, does he not have school?
@bsaramki with him being so young, more than likely some type of online schooling. And Ming is such a hands-on mother; she definitely plays a huge part, no doubt.

Beautiful Santa Barbara ocean view 🤩💜
Hi
Sea Lion *burps*. Everyone: LOL 😃 Mark Wiens: Oh wow! That aroma of fish they've been eating! Godda love this guy 💖
Your son is going to remembered all of theses expositions and will most likely be a foodie himself.
When mark retires it will be renamed as MIKAWIENS
Oh, wow. My parents and I love watching your videos, Mark! The expressions on your face after every bite is simply priceless, and your breakdowns are even better!! Thanks for always making us hungry in dishing out your amazing content! Cheers, from Boston. 💙
Really big ocean insects that feed from the ocean floor and people love putting all that hearty goodness inside their bodies.
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!!!
Seeing you and your family lifts my spirits, y'all make me feel as if I'm traveling with you guys,
Its great to see you and your family enjoying Santa Barbara. Mica is getting so big. What a blessed life you lead.
That box crab, uni Scollop, oyster, abalone meal was one of the best things Ive ever seen....The best!
I love watching you. Your always so excited about each new thing you try.
Wow! I truly enjoyed virtually eating with you ! Thanks so much for this delightful food adventure!😄
Me, me, me, me 🙋🏻♀️ I just love it!!!! It’s awesome Mark’s bringing all this big fun, joy and getting to see different foods as he travel his journey! Thank you Mark!!!
12:00 eat it! No, eat it again! Like a dog. 😂😂😂 Sooo cute and lovely Micah 😆😍
I've seen Stephanie on her boat numerous times hitting those urchin spots. And yeah, lobster season started off very busy this year. Some of the boats are still pulling traps near off the beaches of Goleta.
Very cool to hear that!
Hi Mark😎, looks fantastic! I am jealous in the Uk 🇬🇧 98mph winds, snow and freezing! I will put it on my calendar. This seems great thanks ❤️🇬🇧
It's a fantastic place, but don't be caught off guard with the insane prices.
Hi
I used to stay at the Miramar years ago and what they’ve done to turn into a world class resort hotel is amazing. It looks like Visit California has really taken great care of you guys. Beautiful day in Santa Barbara.
Hey Mark, honestly I know it’s different when you’re there to experienced and due to the pandemic, there is a lot of travel restrictions. However, watching your video gives me a sense of experience and I’m glad you’re sharing us a bit of experience and a sense of vacation 😂 keep up the great work my bro ✊🏽
I missed your videos when it’s just you, the food, the surroundings and the camera. I don’t want to undermine the co-hosts you had on lately but, omg, the experience of viewing your videos feel so much more immersive when it’s just you on your food adventure.
I agree!!
Many more of those coming!
watching mark’s videos always make my day. it’s all good vibes and good food. 😋 the smiles and friendliness of the people cooking the foods are making the videos even better.
Thank you!
We love the shellfish company we eat there every time we visit beautiful Santa Barbara ♥️our favorite place to visit ♥️♥️♥️♥️
Spectacular is right! Thanks Mark Wiens for your Santa Barbara visit!
Mark I never fail in watching your videos, you one person that let's me go out there and try foods I wouldn't touch. And I'm grateful, your enjoyment of different foods makes my day.👍💚🇨🇦
My favorite thing to watch! Definitely Appreciate these Mark.
Mark, so glad to see you in California. Keep up the great work, always look forward to your videos. Thank you for the amazing content.
I spent 40 years in Santa Barbara, for college, then work, living, and wow!!! I've been out on Stearn's Wharf many, many times, but I've never had sea urchin. I'll have to check that out one day. Now I'm in northern California, near Redding. I Miss it!!! Thank you for making this video!
Santa Barbara had the best sea urchin In the world. beside Hokkaido Japan. Thank you Mark. we live in Ventura County over 38 year's somehow didn't have the opportunity trying those gorgeous seafoods in Santa Barbara.
Great to hear that Michael!
@@MarkWiens Few weeks ago our most favorite Cantonese style restaurant in San Gabriel Valley which we drove over 100 miles one way usually on Wednesday afternoon for their famous House Special Vietnamese Style Sautéed Lobster. owner mentioned you were in his restaurant few days prior.
You obviously haven’t been to NZ… the Kina (sea urchin) and Paua (abalone) here are yumm!!!
@@robvaughan888 Good to know unfortunately never had the opportunity visit New Zealand. hopefully in near future.
Mark, you're the GOAT! Every day I watch your videos for breakfast, absolutely makes my day better. Cheers from the community.
Mark you had spectacular weather and food and he box crab was very interesting and uni!
I like it when you drop food - also, when you are with FOOD RANGER, he echoes your comments... hahaha so cute
Looks amazing that you are back with the freshness
Hey Mark & Ying!! Curious about How does Micah react to all the different locations you get to visit? Has he ever expressed which was his favorite destination? (I love seeing him & hearing his joy!!)
Thank you Tamik, he enjoys traveling with us. I think he enjoys pretty much anywhere, but does really love it back home in Thailand.
Great question 👌🏼
Good question? I bet there aren't many kids that get to travel to all these cool places. He is a lucky little guy.
@@MarkWiensmakes me want to move to Thailand 🇹🇭
Mr. Mark Wiens I'm really enjoying watching "ALL" your Vlogs ... very interesting... and you inspires me to know each Country's Best Dishes and cultures too! Hope to see you and your family in person to take picture sometime in the future.. More power to you Mr. Mark Wiens and keep safe always as you travel around the world🙏
Oh boy! I never known this food truck! I will definitely will try this when I come and visit in Santa Barbara 😊 looks so delicious 😋
Mark never disappoints! I always catch myself smiling as I watch his videos ☺️😊. If I’m ever fortunate enough to return to my birthplace, Thailand, I’m definitely visiting his restaurant!!
Thank you very much Jennifer, awesome to hear that, hope you can come back to visit Thailand soon!
@@MarkWienslike to know where about is your to restaurant in Bangkok , please . TQVM
@@madelinkoh There are quite a few videos on KZhead about it. The name of the restaurant is Phed Mark. Perhaps, you may be able to figure out the location that way. I hope that helps!!
*Oops!! My mouth is watering!!^^ 😍👍*
Amazing sights, delicious food, and fantastic weather! What more could we ask for? 😍🍤
How many times can I click on my LIKE button!! You are making my mouth water like CRAZY!! I love uni!!
Yes Californian coast line food tour!!
I aspire to be a Full Time Eater like Mark
i just can't stop watching your videos! i love how you travel the world and appreciate different culture! Godbless you more mark
Sucks that I wasn't able to catch you in my home town. That's awesome that you made to the pier to eat the yummy sea food. Thank you to who ever set you up with this trip!! Much love Mark! Welcome to Santa Barbara California.
Santa Barbara is one of the most beautiful and EXPENSIVE places I have ever been to, and I live in California lol
I live there and I can agree to that, everybody has 2 jobs here. I can't afford any of the food that Mark ate even though they were made with local ingredients.
We’ll yeah there’s no industry there at all lol. Expensive as hell for what you get paid
@@MyKeeP81 Yeah, we depend on tourists and students to pay for overpriced stuff.
@@Woozlewuzzleable then why do you guys live there if you can't afford shi$?? I was born and raised in socal now live in AZ comfortably. I don't think I would move back to Cali. It's pointless
@@porfiriato84 True, that's why I moved to Seattle for 13 years but then it got to expensive to live there so I moved back where I have friends and family which makes it easier to live here when you have that support in case something happens, plus the good weather.
Watching you eat your way through Santa Barbara eating all of the super fresh seafood was a lot of fun Mark! Enjoyed the sailing segment...Micah was SO funny when he asked you to eat the nuts out of his hand like a dog. 🤣🤣🤣 Never heard of box head crab...learn something new every time I view your vlogs. Also, I always enjoy the fact that you match your background music to fit your travels. Amazing content as usual! 😊
*thank you so much because I'm glad to know that I'm not the only person to had the same thoughts as you 👍🏿*
Thank you very much Jane, appreciate your amazing support.
If I was you Mark I would have barked.
Mark Weins definitely never disappoint!!!! I love travel, and eating, so I have plans to visit some spots highlighted in his videos!!!!
Really great!!! It is admirable that you share your experiences and encourage yourself to explore new places, new dishes, new flavors. really excited! Thank you for sharing this beautiful experience for you.😄😋
Omg that’s seafood heaven. I’m hungry 🤤
Mark: "I've had a lot of lobster rolls" Me: "I've had a lot of microwave meals for one"
lol
OMG...I never knew you got here on my home place!!Im very sure your features in santa barbara is the amazing scenry and a fresh sea foods as well the sea urchins and crabs!..not only that...Just try all the menu in the coast..You will not going to regret it!! Ride a boat and catch fish sometimes you can see a whale passing strait in the coast..enjoy your trip and im happy you got here..
OMG le fils Grandi bien c'est cool bon famille Mark merci pour tes videos
Ive been watching marks videos nearly everyday while ive been in hospital. Every nurse that realizes im watching him suddenly light up and say i watch him too. My hospital is quite diverse, so they were so very proud that mark visited their country to try their food.
Came.back from the hospital today and got exactly the same exp😂
Thanks Mark for sharing the seafood delicacies of Santa Barbara, a true gastronomic trip. Happy Holidays.🎄
Thank you Edwin, hope you're having a great day!
If he has to thank God for something he has done for him, it should not be the food he has been eating but the TONGUE God gave him
Definitely funny (in a good way) seeing Mark eat something as simple as a charcuterie boards. Walnuts, cheese, crackers and salami. 😂
I said the same thing. he’s usually eating more complex things 🤣
*We need a dozen Takeaway stations for this royal and majestically delicious 🦀CRAB* 🦀 *Greetings from the hungry Demon* 😈
I LOVE ALL of Marks videos. That said... Right @29:30, "Next up for these oysters..." That first oyster has to be one of THEE SMALLEST morsels of food that Mark ever put in his mouth at once. :) Thumb UP, Mark.
Santa Bárbara my favorite city in USA. I’ve been to lots of different cities in USA but Santa Barbara’s vibe is just so cool and beautiful. Great video Mark 👍🏼
I Love my Hometown 🤗
It’s really not a good town once you’ve lived here for more than a decade lol
I agree. It’s very charming and I love the vibe. I’m there every 3 months visiting from San Diego. ✌🏻🙂✌🏻
Hi Mark and to your beautiful family. You really are a ray of sunshine. Food can be so exciting. I’m looking forward to maybe one day hearing your wife and sons perspective of the food you eat.
Finaly , feels like it's been a while since i watched Mark, thanks for this good content
Always anticipating another vid from Mark Weins, please continue to show prices of the food dishes , always watching feom the Bahamas🇧🇸
Thank you very much Neil!
