Leaves fromCamp, on foot

Everything in the Intertidal Forage, and then you eat it.

Same walk out from camp, same shoreline, same slow business of turning things over and working out what they are. The difference is the last half hour, when we settle down on the rocks with a pot of warm sushi rice, a stack of nori, wasabi and pickled ginger, and a flask of hot sake, and roll our own with whatever came off the bench we’re sitting on. It’s a very hard thing to beat.

What ends up in the roll depends on the season and on what the tide gives us that day, and part of the pleasure is not knowing until you’re out there. If the swell comes up or a biotoxin advisory closes the harvest, we’ll run it anyway on ingredients your guide brings, and nobody has ever gone home disappointed.

When we go

Low tide sets the time, so it moves around. These are the next days we can get out on the rocks.

Your guide, harvest gear, sushi rice, nori, soy, wasabi, pickled ginger, hot sake, and everything to prep with.

Good to know

All ages, with children accompanied by an adult. There's sake for those who want it and green tea from the same pot for those who don't.
What's available changes with the season and the tide, so we'll tell you what to expect closer to the day.
No fishing license is needed for seaweed. If you're taking shellfish or urchin you'll want one, and a one-day license runs about $21.
Tide-scheduled, so the meeting time changes daily. We'll agree the day once you've booked.
If the swell or a biotoxin advisory closes the harvest, the day runs anyway on ingredients we bring.
