Surf and surf.

Today's fishing report: while salmon fishing, one Chinook was caught and one Dungeness crab was caught.  The crab was caught on the herring bait that normally attracts salmon.  This seems like a perfect modification of the surf and turf plates that many restaurants offer.

Earlier, I had a sort of surf and turf harvest.  After many weeks of closure due to paralytic shellfish poisoning, mussel harvesting opened up for the entire coast, at the end of August.  So, a week ago, I headed out on a low tide to pluck some off the rocks.  Then later, I wondered what the wild mushroom population looked like.  I came home with over a pound of chanterelles.

Of course, fall is always a busy time for us, with regard to food.  I dried a flat of tomatoes, and we smoked a batch of salmon from the freezer.

Winter is coming, but we will be eating well.
