Matt that was a great interview!
do you have any dirty jobs type stuff? Might a good submission for dirty jobs show on discovery.
We've actually kicked that idea around a bit.
The problem is we do 9 food products, 8 non-food products, and we recreate their natural environments to breed and raise them all in house. That video is pretty good, but it is a greatly simplified glimpse of the process. With oysters for example, we have to grind up old shell, select brood stock, grow food to feed the broodstock, maintain a system to hold the broodstock in while they get fat on the food, and then spawn them. Once we spawn them, we need another whole different system to hold the larvae in, another whole range of food we need to grow to feed them, and all the problems of running all this electrical components 3 feet above the high tide mark. Then once the larvae are a little older, then go into another type of system, with yet again another food (which we grow). Finally after 2 months, they are ready for yet another home, in a floating dock, and a few months later, out into the lagoon.
And that's just to get to the start of the 6 month grow out oyster process. Now take that, and add in 8 other food products, and you can see the complexity.
It's just too much to squeeze into 8 to 10 minutes of film, and have it come anywhere close to what we do.
