Jacket Description/Flap:
In The Sea Forager's Guide to the Northern California Coast, Kirk Lombard combines a startling depth of knowledge with wry humor and colorful storytelling to guide readers' quests to hook fish, dig clams, and pick seaweed for themselves. Leighton Kelly's stunning, occasionally idiosyncratic illustrations complement practical instructions for gathering a variety of fish and seafood and delicious recipes for what to do with each catch. Lombard, a former staff member at the state Department of Fish and Game and founder of the foraging tour company/seafood delivery service Sea Forager Seafood, insists that his readers follow all regulations and encourages sustainable practices above and beyond what the State of California requires. This quirky and useful how-to is sure to inspire an empowering epicurean adventure.

Brief Description:
An indispensible guide to coastal foraging and fishing in the intertidal regions of our Northern California coast where fish, small and large, plus abalone and many other tasty items can be found

Review Quotes:

"Lombard is a divinely inspired whack job--think Frank Zappa meets Aldo Leopold. If you have ever considered the idea of gathering something good to eat from the beach or surf ... you need this book."--Bill Heavy, editor-at-large, Field & Stream

"Lombard is a master of the nearshore environment, knowledgeable (and hilarious). This is, simply put, the best book on the this subject ever written."--Hank Shaw, James Beard Award-winning author, Hunter Angler Gardener Cook

"Kirk has created an ecosystem that allows us to be sustainable citizens and, more importantly, sustainable eaters."--Andrew Zimmerman, host of Bizarre Foods with Andrew Zimmerman
