What the creator captured
Eater followed Chef Jacob Harth as he foraged for diverse seaweed varieties along the rugged southern Oregon coast. The highlight of the trip was a surprisingly visceral encounter with a group of seals that emitted a loud, foul-smelling gas while the team was harvesting. Harth concluded the experience by demonstrating how to transform the foraged kelp and local seafood into a complex, golden broth.
