Santa Barbara Mussel Miso. This is my interpretation of a traditional miso soup which has a Dashi (Dried bonito flakes) stock boiled in seawater. The soup is also made with organic miso, shiitake mushrooms, Wakame (Dried Seaweed), and scallions. I personally harvested the Mussel and seawater used in this dish from a clean, secluded area somewhere in Santa Barbara. Since the state wide Mussel quarantine is over, they are now safe to eat in most counties through the end of April. That being said, be mindful of where you pick them from. After you’ve cooked them, remove all the dark meat before consumption. That’s where they store their waste. They’ll taste a lot better too! Make sure to go during low tide and try to take the lower hanging ones on the rocks farthest out that are more consistently exposed to the water. Remember that it’s imperative to stop consuming them from MAY 1st though OCTOBER 31st. This is due to the warmer waters during this time of year causing red tide. Unfortunately, when this occurs, a toxic algae can be found in Bivalves (Mussels, Clams, scallops, etc) which can be potentially deadly to humans. Before Mussel Hunting, please check in with the Bio-toxin Information Line 1-800-553-4133. There is also a recreational bi-valve shellfish advisory map on the CA Department of Health’s site. For example, at the time of this posting, it’s unsafe to consume sport harvested shellfish (Anything farmed has been tested) from Humbolt, San Mateo, Monterey, and San Luis Obispo County.

My name is @julianparks_ and I've been making sushi professionally for over 10 years. I'm originally from South Florida, however, I moved out to Santa Cruz, California about nine years ago after graduating from high school in order to pursue my dreams of becoming a professional surfer. I had very high expectations for myself in terms of my capacity to perform at this level and thought I could make it happen. Unfortunately, things didn't work out the way I would have liked in that regard, but I'm extremely grateful for the journey that this dream has allowed me to embark upon. After a few years of living in Santa Cruz, I ended up moving down to San Diego where I recently completed an Associates degree in Accounting, Liberal Arts w/ a focus on Math & Science, and Business Administration at the local community college, Mira Costa. I'm currently located in Santa Barbara where I'll be studying Economics & Accounting at UCSB! In regards to my services, I specialize in providing an intimate Omakase (Chefs Choice) experience within the comfort of your own home. I mainly work around my own interpretation of traditional Japanese sushi with a slight hint of French & Peruvian inspired flavors!

It’s commonly used as a sustainable alternative to Hamachi (Otherwise known as Yellowtail Tuna). The meat also tends to have a mild, sweet flavor, with a fattier texture. The Kanpachi used in the dish was also cured in Konbu seaweed and pink Himalayan salt before being sliced. The green sauce behind the Oba (Japanese Mint) leaf is a combination of minced cilantro, lemon/orange zest & juice, yuzu, garlic, salt, and sesame oil. . . . . #asurfersushichef #surfing #sushi #sashimi #maki #privateomakase #sushicatering #sushichef #privatechef #sustainableseafood #tuna #kanpachi
