- Learn to harvest wild strawberries, rock crab, tegula, rockfish, perch and wild edible plants all in one day for three meals within a one hour drive of San Francisco!
Cool thing about the Strawberries you found, you found Beach Strawberries "Fragaria chiloensis" Those are the largest of native wild strawberries in north America.
All garden variety strawberries are crosses of Beach Strawberries and Virginia Strawberries "Fragaria virginiana"
Very cool! It is that time of year again too!
Great video! So glad you addressed the trash issue! Pack it in, Pack it out People!
Thanks! It is crazy! I do not understand how people cannot recognize that their actions have a direct and negative impact on the environment that they claim to love!
I did not even finish the video to come make this comment but you beat me to it. Very well stated. Real sportsmen care about the environment, ecosystem and the wildlife. Leave it better than you found it.
I love watching other people forage. So relax and calming watching from the comfort of my chair. lol
Very fulfilling life style there Doc!
Great videos! Thank you. I’m a local and love seeing this taking place close by. Stay safe.
Thanks for another Awesome video Kevin, I love when you upload. Thanks for always contributing to nature and keeping it clean, even when others don't and that was a great message. The meal looked delicious and I will try that recipe, you both have great culinary taste and always fun to see you guys cook together 💕🐾🌿
Thanks so much for the positive feedback! I am sure you will love that recipe!
I’m a commercial fisherman I was more curious about the strawberries
Great forage! I always carry a trash bag now to pick up garbage it seems there is a lot more now. Good job keeping the coast clean!😁👍
Glad to hear that! Live by example!
Thanks for the great content! Last time I ate wild strawberries was in Montana 50 years ago. Tiny little berries but amazingly powerful flavor. Another goal for the North Coast, along with chantrelles
Even though I'm from a landlocked country ( maybe that's why) I really enjoy watching your videos. I highly appreciate your responsibility and attitude.
Thank you very much! I really appreciate the positive feedback!
Beautiful Brother 😎🤙🏄♂️🌊
I get anxiety when people leave trash behind. I don’t even camp or go out into nature allot because of the rat trap work I’m in. It’s sad how people can destroy their own home called Mother Earth. The one that can only provide other than God himself. Thank you Dr. Kevin for all that you do. Keep up the good content.
Thanks! I hope you find more time to get out. It is good to help recharge!
@@catchncookcalifornia1574 Glad you called the trashers out. Would love to see an organized HMB clean up. I hit there and always return with small bag of junk. Sadly many other parts of bay are a mess as well.
Thank you for the amazing content! I was at the guest lecture on lithic tools that you did at Cabrillo a few months back and it was so beneficial to the class. Can't wait for more foraging videos!
Thanks for watching and for the feedback on my stone tools lecture!
Amazing video thank you 🐠
Thanks for checking it out!
this is awesome.
Loved every second of this video. Thanks for always educating everyone on the importance of preserving our environment. Now I can go to sleep peacefully ❤😴 ☮️
man It is awesome how much you love and apreshiate you're food and the way you catch it . good stuff keep it up.
We need to blow up this guy's channel guys. I was there when @outdoorcheflife had 10K subs, and look where he is now. I am pretty sure this guy will get to a milly in 5 years. I got a good feeling about this.
EXCELLENT video, Doc! Mahalo's!
Amazing!
Your TH-cam videos have inspired me so much. I spent the day on the coast up here in Oregon this past week. With courage from videos like yours, I decided to check another wish off my 'midlife crisis' wish list; razor clamming.
Our season just opened up again after a very long closure due to unsafe levels of domoic acid. It took me a very long time to extract 15 razor clams (our limit) but they were huge and the sense of accomplishment was every bit as sweet as I had hoped.
My journey continued with Dungeness crabbing for the rest of the day (even got to remove a few invasive European Green Crab that have been making their way North over the past few years - I like to make a ramen broth with those European Green Crab). and I got to feed my family fresh Dungeness, too!
I always pack a garbage bag with me whether I'm jetty fishing, crabbing from the beach, or from piers, and always seem to fill that bag with discarded fishing line, empty bait containers, and trash of all sorts. It is infuriating. I just don't know how we can fix that problem?
I live much too far from the SF Bay Area so attending your guided adventures will have to patiently sit in another category in my midlife crisis wish list. I managed to find an amazing guide here in my neck of the woods and am treating myself to a guided razor clamming adventure here in Oregon next month. She also does other foraging classes which looks like an easy way for me to keep checking things off my list!
Thanks for doing what you do!
I always look forward to your uploads Kevin, such quality content. Fun to see people enjoying the same things I do, just half a world away. Keep it up!
I think it's about the first time I've seen you without your knitted cap, it's nice to see your hair.
you are the best thank uo.
Being a devoted Inlander, I can not imagine just walking to the ocean and picking up food. The only food I get to pick up are pre-tenderised Rabbit and Squirrel. And in any case Kev, this video popped in my feed today, thought "lets rando share it with strangers" HI STRANGER: give a watch of - Medieval Venetian Shrimp - Savore de Gambari
*cough* really not really, it looks like a fun dish figured you may find it fun too *cough*
Loved this segment it really emphasized your skill at teaching
Thanks!
How I love this man. and how he loves nature just like me.👍🙏
Around the 19 minute mark in video when you are diving can see where the rocks have the over hangs mentioned when poke poling- they go aways back indeed, Another great video Kevin-
Good point!
Great video! And thank you for addressing the trash issue.
Thanks!
Seem like such a chill guy
I'd like to see you showcase Ohlone seafood preparations. That whole area was their land.
Rafael, it still is their land if you ask them. I will reach out and see if some of my Ohlone collogues are down to collab.
Gotta make a tule canoe, fish and drop crab pots. You can also do video on acorn harvesting and processing
Such a gratifying video in so many ways. Hoping to meet you out there sometime in the next year
Thank you! Hope our paths cross soon.
Great striped perch recipe! I'll try it tonight!
I missed you! such a nice one thanks
That perch looks so good man. I'll have to remember that next time I catch one.
Outstanding. Thanks for sharing. Good hunting
Your underwater shots of the HMB jetty are awesome!
I’ve always wondered what it looks like down there.
Very relaxing and enjoyable thanks !
Gosh darn Kevin. I would love the perch recipe at the end that Diane was just winging! 😋
One day I'll live near water again but right now I am a caregiver for my mom in the low desert of Arizona. Enjoy the buttered up seafood. Give Matts my best.
Blessings,
K.T. in Pruneville Arizona
Lol No such place though it feels like it.
Thanks! I will see if Diane can share the recipe.
One of my favourite vids you’ve done so far. Going to be sailing through your neck of the woods (from Vancouver to Mexico) late august/sept. Might need to sign up for a guided tour!
Thanks! And please do! Sounds like an awesome trip!
Thank you for great videos sir !
I love this so much!!! How did it take me this long to find you?! Fellow anthropologist here! Specializing in ethnobotany but had to break to raise my daughter
Awesome! I love ethnobotany! It's a great time of year for it on the CA coast right now too!
@@catchncookcalifornia1574 oh it’s so perfect, I’m loving all of it
Fantastic video. Love every part of it.
Thanks man! Much appreciated!
Yes, we do have your ' Three Cornered Leek' here in the UK- I first encountered it when I was about nine years old, in a wooded area above Carbis Bay, near St Ives, Cornwall, not far from the home of a friend of my grandfather. I was told that it was called 'Wild Garlic', and yes, it does have a very pungent garlic odour to it. I always assumed it was native to our country, though it now seems I may have got it confused with another, very similar plant!
Nice hustle, good work.
Wow...your wife is stunning. Found you thru Taku
Long time no see KEVIN! glad to see you
Several people informed me that my videos have not been coming up in their feed for some reason. I dropped one last week and another a couple of weeks before that. I am trying to get back on track dropping one vid a week if possible.
Thanks for watching!
Yep some people mess it up for everyone!!!
great episode
I say Doctor, Doctor give me the news. I've got a bad case of loving you! Thanks , Dennis
Amazing content! Keep it up; the channel will be booming with more subs and a bigger community! Don't be afraid to recycle clips or topics as new people come through. Appreciate what you're doing ✌🏼 and how you communicate the importance of keeping our lands free of the trash.
Thanks!
Wow, looks delicious!
Thanks! It was!
Kevin great videos! My buddy and I just drove to mendo to spear for first time. No dice but this video was a eye opener! I SUP this area and never thought I could spear. Got yourself a new follower! Shoots!
Ezikiel, thanks for watching! Conditions have to be incredibly calm and the winds very low to make it halfway decent for a dive locally. That being said, there are occasional windows for those who monitor the forecasts and do a fair amount of scouting!
I try to scout. One day hope to hook up with you! Keep it up my man. SHOOTS!
Kevin,
As yet again, I ended up binge watching 6 or 7 videos on a Saturday afternoon!
Really solid and enjoyable videos!
You inspire me to make to make the most of life living up on the north coast.
I’m super interested with coastal foraging.
Any plans for filming/guiding new episodes in Ft Bragg?
Thanks man!
Thanks Sean! Yes sir, I definitely plan to come back up soon! Are you on my email list? If not, email catchncookca@gmail and I will add you so that you know when I am headed back north.
Found your channel from the scallop video you did with Taku. I love your content and you have such a nice narrating voice
Welcome! Thank you so much!
Great Job!
Thanks!
Awesomeness!
💛...
...btw, how concerned should we be about parasites?...
@@haroldtakahashi8875 Harold, I deep-freeze any fish I plan to eat raw. I have a special freezer for it as a household freezer typically doesn't get cold enough to kill parasites. Some parasites remain dormant when frozen at higher temps. If you cook your fish through the parasites will die so that is always safe. My brother is a freshwater fisheries biologist so we have had many conversations about what happens once you have them but lol it's a hard bit of audio to include in a video about cooking and eating lol. The long and short of it is if you are meticulous and avoid parasites you will be much happier and more comfortable than if you don't.
Woohoo, this is in my area! Where are you? It's obviously not spring anymore, so what would I be able to forage in the fall?
Fall marks the beginning of coastal mushroom season in wet years and is usually the beginning of shellfish season and Dungeness crab season (though this year mussels, scallops and clams are still unsafe to consume as of 11/9/2023 in San Mateo County and SLO even though the annual mussel quarantine has ended for much of the state). Please call the Biotoxin Info Hotline and listen to the pre-recorded message regarding shellfish warnings for more info 800-553-4133.
I like 😅
Is there a time where sea urchin are not ok to take?
They are safe to take year-round but they are best when they are not spawning.
why am I crying
I wonder how ancient man ground and brewed their coffee😂
I feel cheated since you obviously did that off camera.
JK.. i senjoy your videos but the costal foraging ones seem to draw me more
Don't worry, wild "coffee" and related content is on the list of content to film! Thanks for watching!
Do you dive on the inside of the jetty nearer to the boats or the outside
Inside the outermost jetties. Not near the inner jetty/harbor.
Dr Ken, isnt its bad drink coffee before diving? It increases the heart rate and oxygen consumption rate?
As a general rule, yes it is good to avoid coffee/caffine before diving as it definately will increase the heart rate and affect your bottom-time especually if consumed in excess. But a coffee addict like me cannot function without it. I drink a cup on days when I dive and more on days when I am not diving. For folks who do not drink coffee regularly I strongly advise against it beofe a dive. I also very much recommend against people consuming energy drinks before diving. Thanks for watching!
@@catchncookcalifornia1574 thx for your answer.
Did the Ohlone people of Northern California dive for crab? Or was it mostly fishing and nets?
Thant's a good question. I do not know of any ethnohistoric documentation of Ohlone crab diving but since much of their subsistence base was foraged or fished from the sea I would not be surprised. That being said, traps, nets, hook and line and low tide foraging in waste-deep water may have been all that was needed in pre-contact times. I guess I need to do a collab with some local Ohlone folks and ask them!
I'd love to go foraging with you! If you're for hire!
Great! If you join my email list at catchncookca@gmail it is the easiest way to stay informed as to what I am offering and where/when.
Dude, it’s pretty disgusting but people leave along the beaches in ocean. It never amazes me to see families letting all their trash. Just blow away into the water and walking away. Thanks for cleaning that up.!
I hear you!
Where is this place in the bay area?
It is my personal policy not to provide exact locations on TH-cam as poachers do monitor comments and they do not care about the sustainability of our oceans or natural resources. If you would like to join me to learn, I guide foraging locally. You can check out what I am doing at catchncookcalifornia.com
Damn I'm kinda upset you didn't find a bacon tree
Me too!
I've never found wild strawberries on the coast
I did not either for the longest time. Then I realized that I was searching during the wrong season. They fruit very early.
Can i ask where location have crawfish please??
Any major river in CA will have them. All Central Valley sloughs will also have them as will most lakes.
Where did you find the bread?
I foraged it from a breadfruit plant. ;)
@catchncookcalifornia1574 Nice one! I'm kind of a smart ass, but I love the content!
How can i get a formal education in this?
I don't know of any university teaching this but I guide this (& spearfishing and survival skills) throughout CA. You can hit me up at catchncookca@gmail and I can add you to my email list if you are interested in finding out more about what I am guiding and when.
Where was this at
Anthony, it is our policy not to give up spots. There are plenty of similar spots up and down the coast though. Just look for rocky reef. Thanks for watching.
@@catchncookcalifornia1574 I gotcha
People would ruin it
Those claws remind me of florida stone crab, will these crab survive if you harvest one claw and release them?
They are a very similar species. Yes they will regrow the arm but may or may not survive with only one claw. I usually just take them rather than taking a claw which I understand is common practice elsewhere. Not sure if it is even legal here in CA though. Thanks for watching!
The periwinkles try to cut the top, it releases the pressure, and all the iner will come out
You sure got a beautiful Chinese wife!
Kevin is sexy.
I don't get why people litter so much they're disgusting
Agreed.
Nobody needs to eat plants...
Awesome video! Would love to dive with you one day! Will be hitting you up for sure. If you're ever in Monterey let me know! 🤿🔱
Sounds good! I dive Monterey frequently.
Thanks for toning down the volume of your intro, appreciate it.
Do I need a license?
Yes, you need a fishing license for foraging anything in the intertidal or subtidal in CA (including seaweed). In SoCal you also need an Ocean Enhancement Validation.
