Crab, clam, and urchin foraging

Join local fisherman Steve Conwell for a one-of-a-kind coastal adventure that combines sustainable harvesting with the simple pleasure of cooking and sharing a meal outdoors. Guided by the rhythms of the tides, these hands-on classes introduce guests to responsible crabbing, clamming, and seasonal coastal foraging in some of Northern California’s most beautiful shoreline settings.

Whether you’re setting crab traps in Tomales Bay or digging for clams along the coast, you’ll learn practical harvesting techniques, gain insight into the region’s marine ecosystem, and prepare your fresh catch together beside the water. All necessary equipment is provided, making the experience approachable for beginners while still offering plenty to enjoy for seasoned outdoor enthusiasts.

More than a class, it’s an opportunity to slow down, connect with the landscape, and enjoy a meal that couldn’t be any fresher—creating memories that are every bit as rewarding as the catch itself.
