- I kan't kelp it guys... I love seaweed.
I've known Bri Warner ever since she helped me out with the seaweed page of my cookbook - she's the CEO of Atlantic Sea Farms in Portland, ME, and she has completely changed my perspective on kelp. and now we're about to change YOURS
Many thanks to everyone at ASF, our new favorite kelp farmers, and the lovely folks at Luke's Lobster for your hospitality and pronunciation lessons.

Heck yeah! Welcoming all yous to our world of kelp at Atlantic Sea Farms!
This Brad Leone channel is such a breath of fresh air. Good production quality, good people, good topics, and that Leone charm.
The energy levels with Brad and Bri are off the charts. Love it.
I can’t wait to see Brad visit a garlic farm or do something garlic related! That will make my day!
+1. Allicin counter would be off the charts!!
Only if he goes with someone named Allison
@@Mrbink01 I'm in!!!
Like a 2 part epoxy!
To those who don't know, the oceans absorb more carbon from the atmosphere than trees. Kelps love to eat that so in turn it helps to reduce water temperatures which then help to fend off storms from hitting land, that helps to reduce damage to infrastructure, less damage means less maintenance so money can be rerouted to other areas of governance.
Kelps are essentially the hemp of the sea but it takes in more carbon ❤
So glad that you decided to do this on your own Brad, you carried that other channel for so long. Where could you go to find out about sustainable aquaculture here in Texas? You should do an episode about bycatch because people don't understand that there are other fish that are delicious that get wasted just because they are not on the list for the grocery store.
Very hard to grow kelp in the Gulf since the droppoff is very steep. You really need shoals to do it properly. Temperature is probably a bit of an issue for most breeds of kelp as well.
He didn't carry that other channel. He struggled like everyone else. But I am also glad that he is on his own.
"I'm from New Jersey, I speak poor English"
Brad you had me rolling
I'm loving how the Local Legends episodes are so culturally- n socio-ecologically-minded 💚 keep doing it!!
We must protect Brad at all costs.
love this series Brad...learned a lot on this one
The part @5:48 about commercial fishing ownership made me proud to have spent a decade in a similar individual ownership model. Just three guys (me, my best bud, and his dad). One 28' skiff. 6 or 7 "setnetting" gillnets. 10 years. We must have picked between 300,000-500,000 red (sockeye) salmon. Pulled the boat out by hand (sometimes against 6'+ breakers). Pulled the nets by hand (no hydraulics). Pitched the fish by hand (no seine bags). Took a lot of salt spray over the bow. Got a lot of bruises and sore muscles. Didn't make too much money, but was a hell of a time!
10 years on a small crew like that, it's like you read each others minds and predict every movement.
I feel like Brad hasn’t been in front of the camera for a long time and you could kinda see it in some of the earlier episodes. But recent videos have a "good ol’ Brad" vibe to them. Good for you buddy!
This is insanely fascinating. Love the editing too. I could literally watch 1000 local legends episodes, bravo guys 😊
Great episode! I never knew New England kelp was a thing!
I frickin love this channel. It was all I hoped for.
"I just can't kelp myself".
I sea what you did there.
Amazing! Loving the new channel!!
Just as i was rewatching the good ol BA videos with Brad, this gem popped up
I love this intro song.
Great episode!! I love that you’re bring more attention to kelp. Can’t wait for part 2 to see how you cook what you harvested.
Bri's laugh is so infectious 😅. Another great episode!
"The comebacks always bigger then the setback" Awesome show, awesome shots, just crushed it across the board bud!
Another banger Brad... And that jingle? So fucking catchy!
Bradley, imagine you got in touch with one of the contestants from Alone and did a primitive living/cooking episode with them 😍🤩😍🤩😍
I can’t get over how awesome the intro music is for this show. I end up replaying multiple times before watching the whole vid lol
Thank you so much! That really means a lot to me.
@@wanderbust Were you the one to write it?? If so, you gotta release a whole version of it! I would love that!
@@LoganSerbus yes, it is in fact me! And maybe we will in the future! But just want to say again how much I appreciate the love.
@@wanderbust Every time I watch one of these vids, without me even realizing it, that little clip of a song gets stuck in my head!😂
Great work on making such a catchy, short tune; i'm sure you could get onto the radio eventually with some full length work.
The vibe of it reminds me of Cheerleader a little bit. Thanks for the music!🤙
Well Bri seems like the coolest lady ever
Really enjoying Local Legends!
I'd Love for Brad to make a Wild Rice video. It's seasonal and only a select few get to do it.
Suddenly I'm craving kelp stipes
This rocks. I’m so glad Brad is doing this show
i love this show, who knew kelp was so cool🖤🖤
Man watching bon appetite then this is such a different vibe so happy for you b Rad !
This was so uplifting and awesome.
Out of all of the post-BA crew, this channel is the best.
'i just came kelp myself' dad pun win!
No joke, the highlight of my day when I get to watch an episode of this series.
DEF envious of you taking a bite out of that kelp fresh from the ocean 😭
Somehow I missed this when it first came out. Glad CZcams snick it into my recommended list after watching the cast iron episode. It looked like you were leaving from the Falmouth town landing, which is a couple of blocks from where I grew up (I still marvel at how amazingly lucky it was that my mom and stepfather were able to get really affordable rent for a house right near the ocean for so long).
It's been great to see seaweed really taking off as a food harvested/grown in Maine, as a way to serve a more vegetarian lifestyle. I'm a big fan of kelp, especially. (A different Maine company has apple smoked kelp flakes that I've been using for a long time for seasoning lots of dips and dressings and veggies and such.)
Oh, I'm wondering if you'll ever do a show on salt harvesting on this channel (I know you did one for those *other* people). Maine has a lot of salt companies too.
Finally, do you know about the Common Ground Fair that the Maine Organic Farmers and Gardeners Association (MOFGA) puts on every September in tiny little Unity? It's a huge festival that's focused primarily on locally made organic food, both packaged and made there on the fairgrounds. They have a rule that the fairground food has to be heavily focused on Maine grown organic ingredients. And the festival is on the grounds of a working farm and orchard. It's an amazing resource for anyone interested in growing their own food, and living off the land in general. (And occasionally the sea, too. :-)
Love it. Another great episode. But, Brad (and company)! You gotta put Brad's lovable kisser bigger in the thumbnail so I know it's his show without reading the title.
OH HELL YEAH I LOVE SEAWEED I LOVE THIS EP
Omg yassss mainers! Thanks again for sharing the unique parts of our state and the peeps that make it BITCHIN AS HELL
This was great, thank you Brad!
man, all these coastal new england vids make me miss home. great stuff, bud
Take a shot every time she say “Look at that color”
Very cool, thanks Brad!
There’s a modern classic happening here. Outstanding work by all involved!
love this
That's awesome, win-win...would love to try fresh picked..great video..keep them coming
I have my fingers crossed that one day we will see Brad visit a cultured meat lab 🧫
Gross. He is probably a more grass fed beef kind of guy
@@ask9087 I would honestly jump at the chance to try lab grown meat but given the choice, I imagine most people would opt for the grass fed steak option. I don't think there is a way to fulfill the world's ever increasing demand for meat with either the battery farmed or grass fed option.
@@Ab.Stat. then we need to teach other sources of protein, plenty out there, that can be ethically farmed. lab grown is not an option in my world.
@@ask9087 can I ask why exactly? what makes you hesitant about lab grown meat and would you feel similarly about, for example, whey protein produced by genetically modified yeast? I'm curious
@@ask9087 If given the choice between lab grown meat and crickets, I'd personally prefer the former, though I've heard that cricket flour is pretty much indistinguishable in a final product while still packing tons of protein. Considering Brad's advocation for alternative food sources, I doubt he'd draw a hard and fast line at lab grown meat.
I absolutely love it!!!
I love Brads vids
🎉🎉🎉. Planet leone.
Also its fun to go to the local farmers market. Its so wonderful to talk to people who make somwthing in their town. Also they never say but its a lot work. I dont know how they are so nice.

Slowing Turing into my new favorite channel, I’m just waiting for Matty M. to make an appearance

Is it possible to find the Local legends theme tune somewhere? Shit's banging. Harrison has done a great job!
Thank you!! Seriously means a lot!
I bet we could put the full version out someday.
hes the best!
@@wanderbust Yesss lad!
Hello from Falmouth, Cornwall, UK
Brad, since you’ve been up in Maine a lot recently, you should check out Vessel and Vine in Brunswick. My sister owns it and has absolutely built it from the ground up. They do wine and other little treats, a cocktail bar, and some small-time foods. Nika is a master forager, wine pairing genius, very very rootsy and unique. I think she’s a bit of a local legend at this point
Yay I love seaweed!!
It’s amazing in stocks and fried cabbage.
this fucking rocks! Much respect for the filmers / editors that couldnt have been easy recording sound on the boat, thanks for presenting some optimism around climate change and sustainability as well - one thing, feel like the audio on brads post-narration was a little funky compared to the rest of the sound. Super cool work ya’ll
Leone is the guy we all love a joint or a pint he’s become a local himself
Wow, the shot at 13:11 it looks so silky and beautiful 😍
Can't wait to see how you guys prepare all that ocean lettuce
Chummin' in the wourder 😂
awesome
Brad! Come duck hunt with us this year! We will render some duck fat and roast down some necks for stock! Maybe make some wild game dishes, and I’ll even take you picture, let’s make it happen. I work for a gear company, all you have to do is show up!
Highly recommend the book Eat Like a Fish if you find this stuff interesting.
America at it's best. Awesome
"Skull-lups" is the only way I know.
This is such a weird gripe but I miss the music style on its alive with brad. A lot of the music chosen for these make me sad lol, there like happy memories vacation vibes oppose to silly dorky having fun with brad vibes. Just something that I keep noticing feel like it'll make a big impact on the video's. Love the work
It's nice to see ocean water without tons of plastic floating on it.
They sound like a public benefit corporation… pretty rad.
Brad should visit Alveus Sanctuary !! would be so fun
the best channel hands down
Thank you bub!
Im sure someone has said it but theres some double audio going on around 13:30 to 14 min mark. Idk if it keeps going cuz im watching fhe video for the first time but thought id let ya know
