WILMINGTON, NORTH CAROLINA - Welcome to the coast of North Carolina! Today we are meeting up with Chef Keith Rhodes, from Catch Restaurant, and he’s taking us on an amazing journey to showcase some of the best seafood on the Eastern USA coast. It was a huge honor to have this opportunity and I admire what Chef Keith Rhodes is doing, the people he supports, and the incredible food he cooks.
Catch Restaurant - Chef Keith Rhodes (g.page/catchrestaurantnc?share) - First up we went to Catch Restaurant in Wilmington, where Chef Keith Rhodes cookes local and fresh seafood, with local home style recipes but with his own twist. The food is absolutely incredible and it was the best shrimp and grits and fish and grits I’ve ever had.
Middle Sound Mariculture (goo.gl/maps/8e2Fj4GinokkyXN77) - Next up we met up with James from Middle Sound Mariculture who raises and nurtures some of America’s best oysters on the coast of North Carolina. We had some oysters that were absolutely sensational, so perfectly balanced in taste, texture and salinity.
Soft Shell Crab - Next up today we headed over to meet another friend of Chef Keith who specializes in in soft shell crabs, and some of the best and freshest soft shell crabs you’ll ever have. It was fascinating to learn about the process, and we harvested some fresh crabs. Chef Keith drove over his food truck and immediately cooked them up until crispy and made some of the greatest soft shell crab burgers you’ll ever have!
Shell'em Seafood Co. ( / shellemseafoodco ) - Another highlight of this American seafood tour in North Carolina was meeting up with Ana Shellem who locally harvests seafood and shines light on lesser known species and ingredients. We harvested some local Wilmington mussels.
The Bento Box (goo.gl/maps/Ac41LRyxy2nq2gNr6) - Finally to wrap up this amazing seafood experience with Chef Keith, we brought the fresh mussels over to Chef Lee at The Bento Box where he and Chef Keith prepared an incredible feast of Japanese, Korean, and Southern food all on the table using local ingredients.
It was truly an honor to experience this when I was in North Carolina and I can’t thank Chef Keith Rhodes and his family for their incredible hospitality.
When you are in Wilmington do not miss eating at Catch Restaurant, the food is outstanding and you know where it comes from! Say Hi to Chef Keith!

Wow I hope Chef Keith's restaurant is filled with many patrons and James oyster farming is blessed.Mark you highlight the most humble people. SUPERB JOB TO ALL
Anna mussels as well 😍
Mark, U R 👍 👌 👍 GREA8
Keith is fake as hell. Lmao used imported everything and says its souced locally. I worked for him for about a year. "It's all how you word your menu" right Keith?
@@samw2768 you feel better?
@@samw2768 you the first person i’ve ever heard talk bad about this man
This is definitely one of the best episodes you’ve ever done. Great people, working together to put awesome food on the table. Educational, entertaining and inspiring. Nice job Mark.
This is a whole new level of Education, I was just sitting reading some "food adjectives" until I found this video and "oh Woow" haha "Creamy, fruity,crunchy, tender."..every video is a "lesson" ,I love it!
I agree maybe a new direction love the chef and seeing the guys creating the product
I agree the best Eric E Boyd.
I live about 3.5hrs away and have vacationed in that area all my 54yrs. I'm such a Seafood-A-Holic, I eat everywhere from Chef Keith's "Catch Restaurant" just East of I-40 on Bus17 (Market st.) and others a lil further south in the Monkey-Junction shopping area of Wilmington, all the way down the Crystal Coast through Carolina Beach and Kure Beach.
A lil trivia for ya. @ 29:20 OMG!! Mark got such a great drone shot!! Ok, Ya see that body of water?? That's Carolina Beach Lake. It's actually the closest natural fresh-water lake to an Ocean in the WORLD!! I think it's only 650ft/200meters from the Atlantic Ocean.
I love how Mark doesn't just eat the food, he celebrates the people and stories behind every dish. He helps make hard-working, passionate people, whose effort probably goes unnoticed by most, feel like rockstars. Such a great episode.
THIS! He was in my country Trinidad and Tobago recently and I have to say that is exactly what vibe he gave off. Truly tremendous guy!! Cheers to the food in your hometown!
lol? the dude has zero manners
"Chef Keith!!!, the kitchen is on fire!!!!"
Chef Keith: "Right On" (calm and collected)
I like the fact that Mark takes his family with him mostly everywhere he goes so they can experience the different good foods also, man that’s gotta be nice!!!
That’s just not him that’s any man
@@jayteadatkookwithdamissing2027 Sorry but I don't agree with you on that one mate. I've heard many men (around the world ofc) saying that taking your family members on trips make them less enjoybale. 👀👀
@@ahnafsayem4991 lol i bet. they can come on some but not all
@@jayteadatkookwithdamissing2027 no that’s just not any man…..ever hear of a deadbeat?
All his son ever does is sit at the table with a tablet in front of him.
this is literally one of my favorite episodes you've ever produced, Mark. From the food, the sights and sounds... and most of all the people involved. Every single person exuberated light and charisma, passion and love for both the food and the process behind the ingredients. Chef Keith stands out to me as my favorite guest appearance on any episode ever. Great stuff NC!
Really appreciate your amazing feedback, thank you for your support!
I agree. One of the BEST!!

Man oh man this is a full tv production this is insane a family can sit down and watch this and enjoy it
OMG I'm so glad Mark let us meet Chef Keith, his wife and how all of them and the Oyster guys had this rare moment of fellowship with God's bountiful food creations. I am pining for that fish, grits, shrimp and okra and now the ginger , WOW MAN THANKS
Chef Keith - his knowledge and passion for his food is very, very impressive.
Don't be fooled lmao. I worked with him and he isn't as knowledgeable as you think.
@@samw2768 preach on...cause I know people that say he is full of BS an not so nice off camera an definitely not a good chef
@@jaybeazy4978 Are you guys serious? Just shows how easily people can be fooled lol
@@infrarot4052 just ask the guy above he worked with him for over a year.....he knows better than any one about chef keith...I had people say he was rude an disrespectful to them last year.

Chef Keith is the man !! That soft shell crab burger looked amazing
I second that! Softshell is my favourite.
This is the perfect job for Mark! He is so kind, genuine, respectful and loves food! Also, love how his family travels with him❤️
Much respect to Chef Keith also!

I certainly agree. Mark is doing something he truly loves and inspires us to believe in ourselves! 🙂
It is his perfect job. His family gets to travel and eat the best food on the planet. Mark can eat!!!
Love this episode Mark! Also hats off to Chef for having that straight from the source philosophy and supporting the local/community. This is what's all about.
...another OUTSTANDING excerpt. You're showcasing the heart and soul of the people that create these delights and we can't get enough of it! DELICIOUS!!! 😋
👏🏽👏🏽
Thank you so much Canice, and thank you to Chef Keith for arranging everything!

Soft shell crab is my favorite food and this is the greatest representation ever. Love soft shells piccata style with capers and lemon. As soon as the season opens I make sure to get some. I have to say I am jealous of Mark.
It's amazing how Chef Keith supports his own natural growers of the seafood world, and then for him to locally make dishes out of it. So, with that being said, it was the perfect name for his restaurant called "CATCH". I respect this because it's a beautiful thing. I also lived in Kinston, North Carolina for 7 years and traveled with my father to Wilmington one time maybe twice but didn't even know anything about this restaurant so I'm thinking about taking a trip.🙂🙂🙂
SO SO much respect for Chef Keith. Incredible and humbling to watch
Chef Keith is all about supporting and working with Local businesses and harvesters... I love it ❤️
It's refreshing to see you interact with people who you just met and show true kindness and respect. The food was looked 5 star!!!
God Bless Chef Keith as he showcase locally sourced ingredients to highlight NC. Truly Amazing!!! More Power Mark!!!
- and Anna - the passionn❤
Well said
Mark doesn't believe in God.
@@markjordan1765 His parents are Christian missionaries dummy.
Biblically, eating seafood and pork is forbidden.
Love it. A community helping one another.
When I say I love this episode, I truly mean it. Kudos to the chefs and everyone who was involved. Great segment. Definitely trying both restaurants when I'm back in NC.
for some reason, I love to see chef Keith. humble and heartwarming
Born and raised in Idaho. I’ve never considered moving until I watched this video! Literally every dish on this episode looked incredible! I need to rehydrate after drooling so much.
Chef Keith you can here the passion and love you have for what you do and it’s infectious!
Thanks Mark! Always a pleasure watching your videos!
If you visit NC you may not want to leave. Moved to Raleigh from San Diego 8 years ago and it is a state that has everything and people are very welcoming and friendly. So many people have moved here from all over the country in recent years its incredible. Beaches, Mountains, community, and great food!
I live in Wilmington and the food is amazing here!
LOL! " I need to rehydrate after drooling so much." I TOTALLY AGREE with you! One of the Best videos Mark!
This is one of my most favorite episodes you have posted. Chef is Amazing! He is so involved and loves his community. A passionate and a wonderful family man. His food looks absolutely amazing! A must travel destination.
Love the way Chef Keith acknowledges every compliment with a "Right onnn..." 😁
Ana was breath of fresh air. And allowing another chef in your kitchen speaks volumes!!! He trusts him totally. Beautiful episode all together. One of the best I would say Mark. Thanks ❤️🔥 edit: can't wait to visit his restaurant!!
Dang, totally love the sudden pivot to a full hour episode on soft shell, shrimp and oysters... Mark is going hard! Also, shout out to Chef Keith for repping Philadelphia with that hat 🙏

That chef is so nice. He is so pleasant and humble. One of my favorite of Mark’s guests by far, and that ponytail is for real! Lol- I really want to try oysters after watching this one! #BigFan
This episode was so special to me... this was my backyard....for 50 plus years... we now live in Panama seeking our own adventures. We love your channel, thank you so much.
I literally just looked up how long it would take me to drive there from my house!!! All the food looks AMAZING!!!! I’m coming soon Chef Keith!!!
i envy you.
No u not
I live on topsail island so I’m taking notes on places to go
I’m 21 years old & I get paid to get high on my CZcams channel , i love itt tbh. I’m tryna get out the hood, its wicked out here G😅🔥
Yeah..you're not gonna drive it..😒
Matthews,NC here checking in and so happy to see the Carolina’s getting the respect in the culinary world we deserve. We don’t only do bbq, we do great food PERIOD! 🇺🇸
In USA are only chemicals. There is no good food in USA…
What a beautiful thing; a black , white, and asian together sharing a meal and life!💪
Totally agree, this is one of the.. if not the best episode from Mark Wiens I have ever seen!!! Great viewing thank you
Chef Keith did a great job explaining the food and where each ingredient comes from. I love okra fried up that way. My aunt used to cook it fried up with whatever veg she had on hand.
Thank you Janet, glad this brought back some okra memories!
Thanks for sharing your experiences Mark. Me and the family love your videos we dont miss an episode. Blessings to you and yours 🙏
Do you know what seasoning is used for okra?
I loved everything about this video. I learned SO much about North Carolina food. It’s like watching a documentary about the food. I loved how passionate Chef Keith was about each ingredient he sourced. Every person he purchases fresh ingredients from were passionate about what they do. Amazing video all around! I would love to video Catch restaurant.
Thank you so much Christna, appreciate your support! Hope you can check out Catch soon.
Welcome 🌹
Wow......Is an understatement, this was an amazing experience and I have to say I would have loved this journey myself. The food looked amazing but even better was the experience with such nice and knowledgeable people! I pray many blessings upon chef Keith and all the nice people that make his food and restaurant great!
Chef Keith, Chef Lee, their families, the suppliers, it was a pleasure watching this video.
I love this deep dive into aquaculture in North Carolina. Really great to see chef Keith again and learn about sustainable seafood.
Its insane, I have literally started watching you and following this channel for 7 years and religiously for almost 4. This is by far your best episode. From Chef Keith to James with his Oyster farm and Uncle Phil I have to say these are men of their craft. Not only do they love what they do but they are passionate when talking about it and cooking it. This episode has truly set the standard for me. Every video should be like this. Speaking with locals, connecting local chefs to others and so on and so forth. Great job Mark this is S tier
My hats off to chef Keith for putting it together & Marc for using his platform to welcome these experts.

As a North Carolinian, I wholeheartedly approve. All of it looks so good...And can we give it up for NC tomatoes?! Yes!!
Been watching Mark for years on CZcams, living vicariously through him has brought me great joy. Wish I could meet you one day and eat ramen and seafood, Mark!!
Hour long program and I enjoyed every minute of it. This is one of the best shows Mark has done in a long time. I really loved everybody that was a part of this video. Thank you Mark Wiens keep up the awesome work
Awwwwww yes😁. Just LOOKING at the coast & the food had me thinking "Damn, I wanna move THERE"!😩🤣🤣🤣
Totally agree
Chef Keith Rhodes seems like an awesome dude. I could see him having his own show.
Love listening to chefs talk about their passion
This was a treat. I loved watching the whole thing. What an educational experience! I love your passion for food & Chef Keith, his wife, and his team of seafood suppliers have an amazing vibe, collaboration, skill, and passion. The catch and chef Keith is definitely a blessing to that community.
Probably the best video ive seen so far 🤌🏽❤️
Agree
Loved it 🙌🏽
Full hour! Culture! And Love
I wana visit
Been watching for years and this is one of my favorite episodes. I love the farm to table idea and highlighting local ingredients harvested and cooked by local people.
I agree with you completely!
Shrimp and fish with grits looks delish!!!! Watching a marathon of this amazing channel!! What attracts me about your videos is the passion everyone exudes.
My Dad first introduced me to Cherokee Purple tomatoes 20yrs ago. I mix them with some tangy Rutgers and/or Homestead tomatoes. Can't wait to eat at Catch Restaurant again!! I live about 3.5hrs away and have vacationed in that area all my 54yrs. I'm such a Seafood-A-Holic, I eat everywhere from Chef Keith's "Catch Restaurant" just East of I-40 on Bus17 (Market st.) and others a lil further south in the Monkey-Junction shopping area of Wilmington, all the way down the Crystal Coast through Carolina Beach and Kure Beach.
Lord have mercy... I’m gonna have to make a trip to North Carolina just to go eat at “The Catch”... looks amazing ... thanks Mark
Bring your wallet crazy expensive just Google the menu
This was like watching an adventurous movie along with culinary skill of the Chef. Mark Weins you are having an extensive and accomplished life of travel, exploring, adventurous and gastronomic. The beauty of your vlog is that you take us through your journies and give us a feel of same adventures n liveliness. God bless you and your family.
By far one of the best videos I have seen. Chef Keith has such confidence and a soothing voice. The fact that he took so much time to show case the local cuisine and include so many of the suppliers made all the difference. Fabulous!
My husband and I really enjoyed the Carolina Seafood series. We really want to go there and try the amazing food. Your shows are so educational and fun to watch. We also enjoy the episodes from other countries. Thank you so much. You have a lovely wife and adorable little boy.
Mark truly deserves his own food show on television. Absolutely 💯
Television ruins everything this is more pure
SHALOM 🙏🏾 That's what I call a wonderful experience. All compliments to Chef Keith. What a WORLD CLASS INDIVIDUAL. Food looks AMAZING ..HOSPITALITY off the charts...What an HONOUR for us all 🙏🏾 Everyone Mark just introduced us all to SOMETHING SPECIAL
chef keith seems like a very warm and talented guy.
I’m hungry now !!! Phenomenal episode !! You know it was good , when he refilled his plate lol
Right!
Sat here in Koh Samui salivating. That food looked amazing. Chef Keith knows the local fare and knows how to bring it to the table. What an absolute legend and a credit to the Carolina restaurant industry. Big respect from sunny Thailand 🇹🇭.
WOWWW!!!! This is an epic and a very “Next Level” Food vlog!!! Thanks for taking us along the oyster & crab 🦀 farm not to mention the mussels! Chef Keith & his wife at Catch sure are amazing! The sashimi at Bento foods looks delicious! We will definitely give this place a go when we get a chance to visit North Carolina 😊
Thank you very much Marietta!
Definitely loved this video, oysters then soft shelll 🦀 crabs then that island with all them wild mussels mean brothers 😋 👌 had me salivating at all your three amazing adventures. 😋😋
This episode was magical! So much love for the food they harvest and prepare! It put a smile on my face for sure.
The most high class shrimp and grits I have ever seen
I don't think it's possible for my stomach to growl any louder. 100% total class by Chef Keith and his family, Oyster James and his crew, Mussels Ana and Chef Lee and his staff. Great work and passion by all.
I love Angela smiling when Mark takes his bites of good. They said they were fans and just to know that those “mmmmmmm’s” and “oh wow’s” are all about their food must bring so much satisfaction. My sister just moved to North Carolina and as soon as I am over for a visit, I will be visiting their restaurant🤞🏽.
Love how Chef Keith is soo chill.. "right on."✊🏿
I’m loving how you showed us how the ingredients came to play. The passion from everyone is amazing
When Mark starts shoveling food towards his mouth and that head bob up and down YOU KNOW it's good food!!
I also absolutely appreciate the respect shown, allowing Chef to give a description of his food, the source, and ingredients! There aren't many that can measure up to your Vlogging!!
Followed by, "Ohhhhh wow!" Ohhh yes!
That's how you know it's good 🤣
This one felt more like a documentary cable show.. Well done Mark.. you nailed this one.. also to the co hosts..
Perfection. There is NOTHING like Wilmington, NC seafood. Raw, or perfectly cooked. The treat of a lifetime. Honestly, this, to me, is your best video ever. Love you Mark. (I'm not prejudice much). You've won me for life after this. AND you've chosen the best chef of the region.
I've never seen a fried full-crab sandwich like that, it looks amazing. Props to Mark for wearing his white shoes on that mussel island, doing it for the content.
Soft-shelled crab is spectacular. Probably my favorite type of crab. If you ever get the chance I recommend you try it.
@@slappytheclown4 I'll definitely try them next time I see them available. I'm so used to getting a bushel of Maryland crabs with Old Bay on a bed of newspapers with mallets and the whole deal, haha.
Only one I ever had was in Delaware. Very good.
Being from Delmarva. Where we specialize in crabs every kind of way. I have never really liked soft shell crabs. But, after this video and watching Chef Keith's take on the soft shell. And learning about the way they are harvested. I have more respect for the dish. And I'm looking forward to giving them another try. Looking at it in a different light. From.a different angle.
This episode is on FIRE...this was so satisfying to watch. I loooove seafood and to see how everything was made and farmed makes you appreciate life on earth...so amazing.
REFRESHING!!!!!
Thank you chef Keith for the love n respect of nature that you show us in your cooking! n Mark! You out done yourself again n again! What a wonderful show to watch! Thank you for sharing with us! Love ❤️ 😍 💖!
I can totally smell the sea and taste the sea looking at his video. The idea of farm to table, it just can’t get any fresher than this. The commitment of the farmers and the dedication of the chefs, a great way to showcase that.
This is my favorite episode ever!! I love the people, knowledge, the work put into every dish and how it was locally sourced. ❤
I really love Ana's spirit and her love for harvesting mussels. Her big smile 😊 and joy is contagious.
Mark, it is a true honor to have you and your family visit the place where I call home. Eastern North Carolina is nothing but fresh local food, hospitality, generosity, and making friends and you showed all of that in your series. Definitely a place worth stopping by. ♥️
I love being able to see the oyster farm along with the food! Keith's excitement in showing you his food and along with sharing all of the other food is amazing!
What an incredible episode Chef Keith & James are so knowledgeable
The beauty of land, man and food. How grateful, Ô how grateful. Thank you Mark for sharing this with us.
I shared this with my mother who is from this area of North Carolina. She hasn’t been able to visit since the pandemic and she was so excited to see you visiting North Carolina 🙏🏽
I am a proud North Carolinian. This was amazing to watch. So educational!!
Chef Keith cooked up some delicious food right there! Mark, thanks for showcasing all the variety of restaurants across the U.S. It's interesting and enjoyable to hear everyone's stories and eat vicariously through you. Hearing about restaurants I would otherwise would never know about.
Really appreciate your incredible support!
Definitely one of my favorites that you’ve done. Wonderful people
Chef Keith is the man, this is one of the best videos! Thanks Mark
Wow, Mark didn’t know what Old Bay seasoning was? That’s insanely surprising to me.😅
Right!!
if you dont live in the states full time you probably would not know old bay. imagine how many people over the world would be surprised that you didnt know their institutions. also, mark isnt a chef, he a food blogger. i would say most people who know old bay, also cook on the regular. but yeah, its surprising too lol.
I had never spent any time in this region of the US, so definitely new for me!
@@MarkWiens Definitely one of the best seasonings to put on crab and shrimp❤️
Sheeiit, I never heard of it. There's always something new to try. I'm all in. Lol
These food items can NEVER be duplicated; they are Specific to the Carolina's. Hat's off to Chef Keith, we love the dishes!!!👍👍👍👍👍🤗
This made me smile🙂I love your appreciation of good food🙏🏽Thank you.
Man Chef Keith knows what he is doing, and is so humble about it too. Had my mouth watering the whole time! Excellent episode, Mark.
Chef Keith has got it going on and you can tell he loves what he does which is provide joy through great food. The pickled summer squash is a perfect addition with the vinegar that cuts right through.
To me this was the perfect seafood video, i grew up eating these foods fresh caught by me my mom and dad.😋😍♥️
Great to hear that Helen!
This episode ranks as one of my favorites. Everyone was so passionate about what they do.
There’s something about seeing where our food comes from and the passion of the farmers that went into the cultivation that makes us appreciate our food just a little more (& makes it taste better too!). This is such an enriching experience Mark that you’ve shared with us, Love it!❤️
😊
An hour long video of Mark content? Yes please! Never wanted to eat seafood so bad 😂
Chef Keith is amazing, all his food looked so delicious but I have to say all the tomatoes look so gosh darn picture perfect, amazing food and people, all the chefs/purveyors respect their environment and culture., thank you for sharing Wiens family.
Mark, I really enjoyed this video. It was food but also educational and showed how important the relationship between chef, and purveyor is, especially with seafood and non-chain restaurants. Getting fish and shellfish the day of is so important for small local business and the quality of the food people eat.
I am so proud. I am from the area Mark visited (Wilmington/Leland). I have often enjoyed ALL his vlogs, but seeing places I KNOW....WAS AWESOME!! Chef Keith Rhodes is the BEST!!.
This is why I love you and your channel. Not only do you show great food but how great food starts. Keep up the awesome work.
Thanks mark! I live in Southport about 30 miles away. Didn’t know about this restaurant but will be checking it out! Hope u enjoy my part of the world ! Welcome!😊
mark weins always cheers me up when i’m feeling down
Love it! Love the fresh from the water to table and the great use of locally sourced ingredients! Bravo!!!!
