Eels & crabs & mollusks (oh my!) on the SF shore.
Kirk Lombard’s coastal foraging tours celebrate the natural bounty of the San Francisco coast in a two and a half hour walking presentation that combines history, ecology, gastronomy, and sustainability. Along the way tour-goers learn how to "poke pole" for the flavorful monkeyface eel, catch rock crabs, throw a "Hawaiian casting net," locate the best local mussel beds, and embrace seasonal local fishes.
For: Would-be fishermen, foodies, and foragers
Cost Includes:
My tours are part entertainment, part education, and part how-to session. You'll learn more than you ever wanted to know about S.F.'s coastal treasures in a fun and hands-on way. Fun for adults, kids, locals and visitors alike!
Reviews
An amazing experience
Hi, well I actually thought we were gonna be caught in a deluge, but the sky held back its wrath, and we (me and the other 20 or so seafood tourists) were treated to a fun, super educational, passionate, fascinating and all around fantastic 3 hours of all things Nor-Cal seafood related. Kirk's passion obsessive seafood monomania and all around love of the oceanic environment make for the best class I have taken in years. If kids had teachers like this in school they would all be inspired to reach for the stars.. anyhow take and enjoy Kirk's class.. but watch out , he may have as many as 5 parallel thought processes going at once .. you better keep on your toes.. and ask questions. that makes him go off in all sorts of unexpected directions. Again the one of the best things I have done in a long time. I put good for kids.. but not if they are squeamish or afraid of a bit of "salty" language.
