Seaweed!

Our one-day workshop at Fort Ebey State Park is perfectly-timed: we’ll meet during a minus spring tide and the one-month window of public recreational seaweed harvesting at a state park. 

We’ll beach walk or wade in our boots, collect fresh sea vegetables, then carry our bounty to our “Kelp Kitchen”-- the park’s covered picnic shelter.

Then it's time to get your chef’s knife ready! Ever try seaweed tempura? How about spring-green “fettuccine” sliced from fresh kelp that is packed with minerals, offering a glorious "tooth" and gluten free?

We’ll cook up a memorable feast while learning about the ways to preserve seaweeds for the future.

You can buy a Recreational Seaweed & Shellfish License and harvest for yourself, or just come, watch, and soak up the Salish Seaweed wisdom. You will also need a Discovery Pass to park at Fort Ebey, or plan on paying $10 to park for the day, or carpool!
