Start eating like a seasteader with the CONCISE GUIDE TO OCEAN SUPERFOODS.
In this episode, Katie and Charlie plum unheard of depths with TWO brand-new seasteader-approved recipes – boldly attempting to make canned squid palatable using copious amounts of ginger, garlic and onion for Katie’s Philippine Squid Sauté, and batter and frying oil for Charlie’s Poor Man’s Paleo Calamari.

Charlie also uncovers a little known fact about the misnomer that is “kombucha” – although the popular tea translates to “kombu tea” (Kombu is a type of seaweed), the sparkling fermented stuff contains no kombu. Disappointed? Try the simple recipe for a cozy cup of the *original* kombu tea.
Lastly, Charlie makes the case for certain “paleo” principles like substituting coconut oil for vegetable oil, and almond/tapioca flour for wheat flour. Katie remains skeptical.
Lastly, Charlie gives the reasons not to be afraid of cholesterol and saturated fat, even going so far as to down the raw egg yolk (pasteurized, of course).
