Fishing and gathering

'Tis the season for extensive fishing and gathering on the Oregon coast.

First, the fishing results: A few days ago, Bori landed his first king salmon (aka Chinook) of the season.  This one was caught in the ocean, south of here.  A very tasty wild fish!



Then yesterday, we spent an hour and a half crabbing in our local bay.  We came home with 12 Dungeness crabs.  They yielded over 4 pounds of crab meat.  Also very tasty!


After the crab meat was all picked, I headed out into the woods in search of chanterelle mushrooms.  It's early in the mushroom season, but I came home with 2 pounds 12 ounces of chanterelles.  Also very tasty!

Although that was the end of our wild harvest, we continue to eat greens from the garden box.





There's almost always something fresh to eat around here.
