'Outer Banks' stars Madison Bailey and Carlacia Grant put their taste buds to the test in a blind tasting challenge featuring luxury vs. budget seafood, the perfect menu for two Pogues who spend plenty of time by the water–or is it? In this episode of Taste Off, the Kiara and Cleo actors sample expensive and affordable versions of coconut shrimp, white wine, smoked oysters, caviar, and cocktail sauce to see whether the pricier pick really tastes better. But while Carlacia, a known foodie, is versed in everything from the many types of caviar to fresh-shaved horseradish, Madison admits seafood isn't exactly her comfort zone, raising the stakes every time a new plate arrives.

00:00Mm-mm-mm-mm-mm-mm.
00:02No better time to try something new than now on camera.
00:04No better time but the present.
00:08Chicken of the sea.
00:11How dare you guys.
00:14Pokes for life.
00:15Pokes for life.
00:15Clank, clank.
00:17The game we're playing is...
00:19Which one is everyday and gourmet?
00:21And which one tastes better?
00:23I'm excited.
00:24I'm unsure how this is gonna go
00:26because I think my taste in food's a little all over the place.
00:28Like, I love, like, Top Ramen.
00:31I've eaten some bullshit.
00:33Like, I don't know.
00:33My love language is food.
00:35I think you're gonna be great at telling which is which.
00:37Like, I think she's gonna crush.
00:38I am.
00:39If you're not betting on yourself, then...
00:41I know that's right.
00:42You know.
00:43Then what you doing?
00:44Yeah.
00:48I'm scared, y'all.
00:49Who told y'all I eat every seafood?
00:51There's a lot of seafood, you know?
00:54One, two, three.
00:56Ooh.
00:56Ooh.
00:57Why was I like chicken nugget?
00:58Ooh.
00:59Coconut shrimp.
01:01Coconut water.
01:02Coconut water.
01:03Let's start over there.
01:05Cheers.
01:05It looks wildly similar.
01:09Mmm.
01:10Mmm, mmm, mmm, mmm, mmm, mmm.
01:13I don't know.
01:15I don't care if it's cheap.
01:17I don't have any more shrimp left in this bite, so...
01:19Oh!
01:20I'm not sure what that means.
01:21What do you mean?
01:22You holding on to the tail?
01:23No, but look.
01:24I'm putting cools together to see which one it could be.
01:27No.
01:27That's fair.
01:28This one was really good, so I don't know what that means for me.
01:31I don't care what it is, to be honest.
01:32We're gonna try this one.
01:33Mm-hmm.
01:34Yeah.
01:34Let's see.
01:37Mmm, this one.
01:39Based on the breading visually, also, or like the coconut pieces.
01:43And look how there's still shrimp left.
01:45I'm telling you.
01:47These be the things.
01:48I think it's this one.
01:49But I'm gonna be honest, they taste the exact same to me.
01:52There's a tiny bit of difference.
01:53They taste the same to me.
01:54The shrimp taste different.
01:55But I also would eat both.
01:57I don't know.
01:57It's, like, very close.
01:59Like, if you told me this was a trick question and it's the same thing, I'd be like, oh.
02:04Yeah.
02:05Okay.
02:05I do think that one's more expensive.
02:06I do.
02:07But I kinda like this one better.
02:08I don't know.
02:09Yeah, that one might be CPAP.
02:10Oh, I guess I shouldn't say Bram.
02:11It feels like CPAP.
02:16Okay.
02:17Let's see.
02:19I know it's CPAP.
02:19You literally said it's CPAP.
02:21What the hell?
02:22I'm actually dead.
02:23Okay.
02:23You literally named the brand.
02:26I don't know.
02:27I love to eat.
02:29Yeah, this one was visually giving.
02:31But honestly, this tastes better.
02:33I love CPAP.
02:34You never had these before?
02:35No.
02:36Yes.
02:36Every grocery store has.
02:37Maybe that would've helped.
02:38Crushed.
02:39Coconut water.
02:40Coconut water.
02:45Okay, three, two, one.
02:47Oh.
02:47Oh, wine.
02:48It's getting better.
02:49Wow.
02:49Okay, guys.
02:51Guys, we're leveling up.
02:52For reference, it's 10 a.m.
02:53You guys should know that.
02:54Five o'clock somewhere.
02:56I know that's right.
02:57I know that's right.
02:58Let's try these.
02:59Okay.
02:59Tears.
03:00Yeah, eyes for.
03:02This one's cheaper.
03:05Yeah, it also has like the minerals when you switch.
03:09She's a detective.
03:10I'm taking you to somewhere.
03:11That's all the crime.
03:11But Lacey said, there's particles.
03:13It's fruity.
03:13It's sweet.
03:14It's cheap.
03:15I would buy this at the gas station and have a time.
03:17Mmm.
03:18Yeah.
03:18This is almost like boxed wine.
03:21Yeah.
03:21This one tastes a little bit of apples, maybe.
03:24Yeah, sweet, fruity.
03:25Orange rind.
03:26Orange rind.
03:26Mm.
03:27Orange rind's like a little bit.
03:28I'm an orange wine girl.
03:29No, not orange wine.
03:30Orange rind.
03:31Oh.
03:32Girl, I don't know what they put the rind in there and I...
03:34Drink it.
03:35Here.
03:35Here, Tam.
03:36Cheers.
03:38I'm telling you.
03:39I literally believe you.
03:41There's less sulfates in this one.
03:44She's bitter.
03:45I relate a more bitter wine to being more expensive.
03:48Like I would just say a sweeter wine is cheaper.
03:51That's true.
03:52I'm not a wine connoisseur.
03:53Yeah, for sure.
03:54This one, this one's more body...
03:58Look at the color.
03:59Let's see.
04:00This color's more rich.
04:02This one's more...
04:03I'm gonna say this one's more expensive.
04:05I agree.
04:06Oh, it's like are we gonna...
04:08One more for...
04:08Are we gonna have a difference for the first side?
04:10Can we have a difference for the shrimp?
04:11Yeah, I think this side was more expensive.
04:14Yeah, I agree.
04:16I would drink either.
04:17Would you?
04:17Yeah, honestly.
04:18I love a dry wine and these are both dry.
04:20Pairs well with coconut shrimp.
04:22Why not?
04:23At 10 a.m.
04:24What more could you ask for?
04:26I'd drink either.
04:31This one I'm feeling...
04:32I don't know.
04:33This one's spicy.
04:34I don't know wine.
04:34We know food, not wine.
04:35Yeah.
04:37Oh.
04:38Oh!
04:39Yay!
04:40Yay!
04:40We know wine too!
04:43Yay!
04:44It's been under the clothes, so...
04:47We play ball.
04:47That makes sense, that makes sense.
04:48I feel like the second I had that one, I was like, that one's super because it's sweet.
04:52Yeah.
04:53The flavor was different.
04:54It was more alcohol-y, if that makes sense.
04:56It was more like...
04:57Mm-mm.
04:58The way it hits your tongue was different.
04:59This one was smoother.
05:01Okay.
05:02This is so fun.
05:06Oh, here we got hot sauce.
05:07Please be an oyster.
05:08Please be an oyster.
05:09Please don't be an oyster.
05:12Open the phone.
05:14I know!
05:15I knew it was an oyster.
05:16But it's cooked.
05:17Oh, what the ?
05:18Okay.
05:19Yo, it's all the hot sauce.
05:20It has to be oyster.
05:21Okay.
05:22No better time to try something new than now on camera.
05:24No better time but the present.
05:28No better gift but the present.
05:31I don't know.
05:32Ew.
05:32I have to eat too.
05:36Can we try this one first?
05:38I feel more comfortable with this one.
05:39You can do whatever you want to do about them.
05:40We're gonna...
05:40Yes.
05:40No.
05:40We're gonna take it to my base.
05:41I'm terrified.
05:42I will tell you, I am not very skilled in smoked oysters.
05:46Truthfully.
05:47I need to get them raw.
05:48So.
05:49See how this goes.
05:50Do whatever makes it good.
05:51You want some hot sauce on it?
05:52Whatever makes it taste good, girl.
05:53Cheers.
05:54I'm proud of you.
05:55Before you do this, I'm proud of you.
05:57I shouldn't have done that.
05:58Alright, cheers.
06:08I'm locking in so hard right now.
06:10I'm gonna say right now, I'll prepare which one's more expensive.
06:15Deliciousness.
06:16Nice smoky flavor.
06:18Lemon.
06:18Tabasco.
06:20All the flavors are coming through all at once.
06:23Mm-hmm.
06:23Everything, everywhere.
06:24It's smoked.
06:25All at once.
06:25I taste the smoked flavor.
06:29Why is everybody acting so weird towards me?
06:32A little lemon squeeze.
06:34You're okay.
06:36Yo.
06:36This is actually how I need to be talked through in like most things.
06:40Everything's okay.
06:41You're alright.
06:42Bye.
06:42Okay, I need, okay.
06:44Have some water.
06:45Do you want wine?
06:46Oh.
06:47Do you want wine back?
06:49Bring in the dancing, dancing lobsters.
06:51Yes, bring in the dancing lobsters.
06:53There's lobsters on my rider.
06:55Spare me.
06:56You're gonna make me eat this.
06:57Alright.
06:58Cleanse the palate.
06:59Mmm.
07:00Okay.
07:00Cheers.
07:07I don't know or care.
07:08Mm-mm.
07:09Mm-mm.
07:09This one is less expensive.
07:12I can't look at you act like that right now.
07:14Because there's like...
07:16It's not bad.
07:18It's not bad.
07:19But this one...
07:20I'm having an out-of-body.
07:21Is explosive on the tongue.
07:23Like you can taste all the flavors.
07:25I don't care which one is more expensive.
07:28This one's good.
07:29I didn't taste a thing.
07:30You can taste the smokiness.
07:32This one is way more smoky.
07:34You can really taste it.
07:35This one, you don't really taste the smokiness as much.
07:38That's fair.
07:38Is that...
07:39This one tastes like barbecue.
07:40Which is why I think that one...
07:42Yeah.
07:43Yeah.
07:43Let me have an opposite reaction.
07:45Yeah.
07:45This one's different.
07:50I'm ill.
07:51One, two, three.
07:54Chicken of the sea.
07:58And it tastes like chicken of the sea.
08:11Is this chicken what I have or is this fish?
08:16I know it's tuna but it says chicken.
08:20By the sea.
08:22That was cruel.
08:23Oh.
08:24What is this?
08:25From Tide to 10.
08:26My ass.
08:27This was really, really good.
08:28You guys, you got it right yet again.
08:31Yay!
08:33Yay!
08:34Oh gosh.
08:34I'm having the time of my life.
08:37Wow.
08:40Let's go.
08:41Dun, dun, dun.
08:42If something jumps out of me on the screen.
08:45Ooh, ooh, caviar.
08:46Good morning.
08:47Oh gosh.
08:48There's no way I could tell.
08:49Okay, this one's the more expensive one.
08:51Absolutely.
08:51You can tell.
08:52That one's like a beluga or a...
08:54I don't know what those things are.
08:55I've never had them.
08:56Or a sturgeon, like a blue sturgeon.
08:58That's definitely more expensive.
09:01So excited.
09:03Cheers.
09:04Cheers.
09:07Mmm, creme fraiche.
09:09Deliciousness.
09:10Salt.
09:11Mm-hmm.
09:11That's also a really good caviar.
09:13I'll say that.
09:13Salty.
09:14Cheers again.
09:15Cheers again.
09:16We're gonna make eyes.
09:17I'm scared.
09:20I'm in for it.
09:21Less fishy.
09:22Mm-hmm.
09:23Tastes the ocean more.
09:24That one's like a sturgeon.
09:25So I got some caviar.
09:26Had to hop on this trend.
09:27I love caviar.
09:28And a waffle fry?
09:29Let's see.
09:32Mmm.
09:3610 out of 10.
09:37You know what my new obsession to eat caviar with is hash browns.
09:41So I put like hash browns in my air fryer and put creme fraiche on there and then do caviar
09:46on there.
09:47It's like a breakfast caviar bite.
09:49I went to a place called Caviar Caspia and they put caviar on a big potato.
09:54The best place in Paris.
09:55And that was like the best thing I've ever had.
09:58Absolutely.
09:58They opened one here.
09:59Big potato.
10:00I know.
10:00Well I didn't go to one in Paris.
10:01Oh.
10:02It's on the list.
10:03I went to one in LA.
10:04Phenomenal.
10:04Phenomenal.
10:05I think we're gonna say gourmet.
10:09Every day.
10:09This one is the everyday.
10:10This one's better.
10:11Yeah.
10:14Three, two, one.
10:17I don't know.
10:18Glass she's giving.
10:20I don't know.
10:20Let's get this one out the box and it's gonna toss.
10:23That looks like an eight.
10:24An eight is hilarious.
10:26Yeah.
10:26We can tell.
10:28We got it right.
10:29Yay.
10:30We are caviar baddies.
10:32Actually, I was a little surprised that I, cause I was really not feeling confident,
10:35but then the second I saw it, I was like, wait.
10:36What if you do?
10:37We eat out together.
10:38You have a good palate.
10:39Here we go.
10:40You know nice things.
10:41I like nice things.
10:46This one's gonna be a surprise.
10:49If something jumps out at me.
10:51If that crap's alive, I swear to you.
10:54If I open this thing and get pinched.
10:57That's like a live lobster.
10:59Yo.
10:59Okay.
11:00Ready?
11:00One, two, three.
11:02Ooh.
11:02Shrimp cocktail.
11:04And this is where I draw the line.
11:05You don't like shrimp cocktail?
11:06Nope.
11:07Oh my gosh.
11:08No.
11:10I don't like shrimp cocktail.
11:14We can skip it.
11:15No, I trust Lacey.
11:16We'll still do shrimp.
11:18Okay.
11:18Can I just try the sauce?
11:19Yeah.
11:20I don't eat the shrimp.
11:21Don't eat the shrimp.
11:21Just try the sauce.
11:22Cause how do they even cook those?
11:24They par-royal them.
11:25They flash-royal them.
11:26And then they chill them.
11:27It's cooked shrimp.
11:28I know.
11:29I don't like cold seafood.
11:30I'm like weirder.
11:30It's okay.
11:31I'll hold it down.
11:32Please.
11:33I don't care.
11:34I'll start over here.
11:35All right.
11:35Dun, dun, dun, dun.
11:36Shrimp gate.
11:37Okay.
11:38Come on.
11:38You guys, we had a whole shrimp gate in Charleston.
11:41Mm.
11:41Mm.
11:44That is store-bought.
11:46I know it is.
11:48We're double dipping.
11:49Cheers.
11:51Ugh.
11:53Oh my God.
11:53That one has like tartar sauce, wasabi in it.
11:56What the hell is that?
11:56It's fresh shaved horseradish.
11:58This is the most expensive one.
11:59My God.
11:59I can't eat spice, but I'm gonna be sweating.
12:02Like, I'm just...
12:03This fresh horseradish is delicious.
12:06And that's how I know this was more expensive.
12:09And wherever you guys got this from, I need more of it.
12:11Based on this one looking more like ketchup.
12:14Mm.
12:15I don't really know.
12:16Honestly, I don't like either of them.
12:18I just...
12:19I'm just gonna trust my bag.
12:20Yeah.
12:20We're gonna say everyday gourmet.
12:23Fresh horseradish.
12:24Okay.
12:25This one.
12:26Whew.
12:27Mm.
12:29But I like it.
12:36I could have told you it was more gourmet.
12:37Yeah.
12:38Okay.
12:39Ah.
12:39Very spicy.
12:41Whoever these people are, your sauce is amazing.
12:44I need this.
12:45If I can bring one of these things home, it would be that delicious cocktail sauce with that freshly shaved
12:51horseradish.
12:52I love when things are so hot that it burns like my eyes.
12:56And then I have to like pause and like regroup.
12:59I love that.
13:00The coconut shrimp was fire.
13:02Both of them.
13:02Either of them.
13:03I don't...
13:03I wouldn't really care.
13:04That was my fave.
13:05I want everything.
13:05I don't think I need to say what my least favorite was.
13:08I want that cocktail sauce.
13:10I really do.
13:10That was phenomenal.
13:12Thank you for being such great sport.
13:14That was so fun.
13:15You got it.
13:15Cut the camera.
13:18Cut the camera.
13:19To our super senior Susan.
13:22Folks for life.
13:22Folks for life.
13:23Clank clank.
13:24Yeah.
13:25Put this in my coffee cup.
