History
While sourcing your seafood can be a real drag for you (no pun intended), finding the best sustainable seafood is a passion for me. I source my seafood from local fishermen who meet rigorous standards to guarantee you the highest-quality seafood that you can feel great about. I have been teaching people to catch their own dinner for years on my Sea Forager Tours, and recently wrote the book on coastal foraging. Many of you have taken my Sea Forager tours or heard me speak on the subject of local fishes, stewardship, feeding lower on the food chain, legality vs. ethics, and seen my dedication to sustainable seafood firsthand. I worked as a fisheries observer for the Pacific States Marine Fisheries Commission for 7 years and on a small scale level I've fished commercially for the last ten years. My kayak is a registered commercial fishing vessel, and some of my closest friends are local artisanal fishermen. So if you want transparency in seafood, you'll find it here!
Specialties
Sea Forager Seafood is a membership-based community supported fishery (CSF) that partners with local, small-scale fishermen using ethical fishing practices to provide sustainable and delicious seafood to passionate home cooks. Members get the story behind the fish and what makes it sustainable, plus recipes, prep tips, fun events, and tour discounts so you can appreciate our local bounty and even catch some yourself. Similar to a CSA produce subscription, members get seasonal, fresh, sustainable seafood weekly or biweekly at pick up locations throughout the SF Bay Area or home delivery in SF. Members also enjoy discounted fishing and foraging tours so they can have a better understanding of seasonal seafood and our local bounty.
