Loved your book and am planning on catching your shellfish class but am curious if you will be offering a nettles class on a weekend or even a Monday or Friday? 3/28 is Wed? Just checking.

So if oysters are usually out past clams; what tide should I look for on the tables? Does it have to be a minus? if so I'll have to bring a lantern.<br /><br />Sethseth harrellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05807621244080755264noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5570890979467369384.post-14525557022102311052012-01-12T13:19:37.779-08:002012-01-12T13:19:37.779-08:00Outage - Nettles in the Seattle area can be forage...Outage - Nettles in the Seattle area can be foraged as early as late January some years until July at higher elevation in the nearby foothills. Shellfish are mostly year-round, depending on the species and the beach. The classes are scheduled with timing in mind; shellfish dates coincide with good tides. I'm sure you could find someone offering similar classes on the East Coast.

If you ever bring your expertise to the East Coast, I'd love to hit up one of your classes!<br /><br />Are the courses timed to the best nettle and shellfish seasons? Or can you harvest these treats year-round?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
