Listen "Foraging for fish in our own backyard"
Episode Synopsis
If you head out on a Ferry from Oakland’s Jack London Square over the Bay, to San Francisco… there’s another special place where you can get fresh food: Fisherman’s Wharf. Here, boats dock early in the morning with salmon and halibut, mackerel.. and now it’s Dungeness crab season! The catch then goes into refrigerated trucks, to eventually end up across the country or around the world. But for one Fisherman, catching and enjoying this bounty is best served… right here at home. Kirk Lombard is a sea forager. And he shows people why and how we should catch seafood ourselves, on the docks and mudflats around the Bay. In 2014 KALW’s Angela Johnston went down to the wharf, to learn more.
