In "The Sea Forager's Guide to the Northern California Coast", author and California coastal resident 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. Drawing upon his years of experience and expertise, Lombard is 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. He insists that his readers follow all regulations and encourages sustainable practices above and beyond what the State of California requires. Thoroughly 'reader friendly' in organization and presentation, "The Sea Forager's Guide to the Northern California Coast" is quirky and useful how-to is sure to inspire an empowering epicurean adventure -- and will prove to be a highly popular addition to all California community library collections!
