The San Francisco Coastal Fishing and Foraging Class

I offer a fun, crazy, fish-centric class in which we learn how to fish the local coastal waters and talk all about local seafood: rules and regulations, sustainability, history of the fisheries.

  • Learn the basics of how to “poke pole” for flavorful monkeyface eel

  • How to catch rock crabs

  • How to throw a Hawaiian casting net

  • Discover what the best local mollusks are and how to be sure you aren’t eating risky ones!

  • Where to find strands of edible sea weeds, the advantages of eating your bait, what’s in season when, and why you should consider catching your own dinner!
