6:20The group shares coffee and dried redfish while waiting for calmer water.
13:05A makeshift rock grill becomes the cooking surface for seal meat and blubber.

25:20Wiens and his companions sample seal ribs and blubber, including a dip in mustard.
28:49Aggu sears Greenlandic reindeer and prepares brown butter sauce.

Coffee and dried redfish fill the waiting time out on the water. Mark Wiens has joined a local Inuit hunter in Nuuk's fjords, and lunch begins well before anyone reaches a kitchen.

"Surviving GREENLAND!! Arctic Food for 4,500 Years!!" is the most-watched of his three new uploads, approaching 760,000 views. Wiens frames the hunt as subsistence, explaining its place in Greenlandic life. On the rocky shore, the group tastes fresh blubber and liver, then builds a makeshift stone grill over an open fire for the meat.

The trip continues with Chef Aggu Broberg at Hotel Hans Egede. He makes both halibut and seal versions of suaasat, a warming soup with potatoes, rice and onions. Wiens tries curry powder in the fish soup; later, seared reindeer arrives with brown butter sauce and crisp layered potatoes. It is a journey from catching food to seeing how a chef serves it, rather than simply a succession of unfamiliar bites.

The comments add a local perspective: one viewer describes frying blubber first so its rendered fat can cook the meat on the stones. Others pick up on the title's enormous timespan, joking about Wiens's unusually lengthy commitment to the trip.

Greenland also supplies the channel's busiest upload right now: "I Tried the World's Most UNUSUAL Buffet!! (in Greenland 🇬🇱)," with Broberg presenting a spread of Arctic seafood and wild game. Between those outings came Macao and a day eating as a MasterChef Asia judge, with Pam, Edward Lee and Kelvin Cheung credited in the description.

Subscribers held steady at 12 million over the week. Daily viewing is currently around half its usual level, although the channel collected more weekly views than most nearby food channels. The newest buffet visit now brings the strongest daily viewing of Wiens's uploads, returning the week's attention to Broberg's Greenlandic table.

Hi Mark, Thank you for understanding our Greenlandic Tradition for survival in the extreme Arctic environment.

Up in North Greenland, we usually fry the blubber first, and once there is enough oil on the stones, we fry the meat in it...
@Mati_himselffSee it on YouTube
The fact that Mark spent 4,500 years in Greenland is some dedication.
