Chef Robin's Foraging Adventures...
I'm continuing my escapades in foraging on youtube, keeping myself and hopefully you, entertained during this crazy time. This week, smoked manila clams picked from my spot on the Gulf Islands.
This is a great time to harvest clams as the weather is cold and the clams taste so fresh. I just toss them on the coals (alder wood) until they pop open and eat them straight like that, salty from the sea, maybe a little lime if I feel like it.
Ps. We're creating a virtual foraging survival trip that includes safe and sustainable methods for harvesting seafood and other wild foods on the BC coast if you want to learn more, check it out below...
Virtual Foraging Survial Trip
2 hours with foraging expert Robin Kort
A fun way learn some useful food foraging survival tips in case of emergency covering forest to seashore ecosystems of the Pacific Northwest. From sustainable edible wild weeds to nutrient rich plants for survival and beach forage superfoods like
seaweeds and shellfish. Learn about any poisonous plants you should avoid and simple cooking methods for the food you find in this 2 hour video collection. I've been teaching wild foraging classes for over a decade in BC and would love to share my knowledge with you.
Virtual Trip Details:
The videos are ready! We'll email you the 2 hour video package that you can watch anytime. I will be available by email to answer any questions. The great thing about these videos is you can have them on your phone to refer to whenever you're foraging. It's like I'm in your jacket pocket:)
