Ok, so I don't typically do woodworking with a herring, but don't let that make you think that I do not value the little fish! And so we come to today's topic... Kirk Lombard's new book. If you are not yet aware of Lombard's blog The Monkeyface News (http://monkeyfacenews.typepad.com/), it is a fantastic blend of eccentric musician and eccentric sustainable fisher... oh man, is that how they describe me too? Eccentric sustainable fisher? Hey! I do play the drums you know? Oh, by the way "you know who likes to jam with musicians? ...Drummers!"
Ok, well, Lombard's new book is the dag nam bees knees! I grew up foraging, fishing, and freedive spearfishing the north coast of California since the day I could stand on my own two feet (no joke I have been digging clams since before I could talk), and this book was learnin' me real good! I was exposed to all kinds of new sea lore and seafood seasonal acquisition tips!
Check out my review of the book at the North Coast Journal (https://www.northcoastjournal.com/humboldt/catch-of-the-day/Content?oid=6500408) and definitely pick up a copy! Kev, the countryman forager, gives it two thumbs up!
Keep the old ways alive!
