About

Hey there, I’m Larry Keith and I’m so glad you’ve found your way here. I started gourmetoceanproducts.com as a space to connect genuine curiosity with practical insight. For me, reviewing products isn’t about chasing trends or selling hype it’s about sharing what really works, what’s worth your time, and what makes everyday life just a little bit better.

How It All Started

My journey began in the world of fine foods. After graduating in Business Administration from the University of Washington, I joined a small importer that specialized in premium seafood and coastal gourmet items. Working with passionate producers taught me what real quality feels like not just in taste, but in texture, craftsmanship, and sustainability.

Over time, I moved from Washington’s bustling markets to the quiet rhythm of Maine’s harbors, where I started writing short trade stories about gourmet products and their makers. That experience shaped how I see the world everything tells a story when you pay attention to the details.

Why I Created This Blog

In 2025, I decided to bring that mindset online. Gourmet Ocean Products became my way of turning curiosity into conversation – testing gadgets, trying new kitchen tools, and sharing honest opinions based on real use. My reviews blend storytelling with straightforward advice, so readers can make confident choices without needing to dig through marketing fluff.

Here, you’ll find more than just product write-ups. You’ll find experiences – what it’s like to actually use an item day after day, where it shines, and where it falls short. My promise is simple: if I recommend it, it’s because I’ve tested it myself.

Life by the Coast

Today I live in a small coastal town in Oregon with my partner and our golden retriever, Piper. Most mornings start with a walk along the beach, followed by strong coffee and product testing in my little kitchen studio. Evenings often end with a home-cooked meal shared with friends, comparing gadgets and flavors under the sound of ocean waves.

That’s really what this blog is about – the joy of discovery, the comfort of good tools, and the little things that make daily living more enjoyable. Whether you’re a foodie, a home chef, or just someone who loves thoughtful design, I hope you feel right at home here.

Thanks for stopping by and being part of this growing community. Grab a coffee, explore a few reviews, and stay awhile there’s always something new to discover.

Warm regards,
Larry Keith
