Field Trip: Shellfish Foraging with Human Nature Hunting

This spring we're teaming up with Bruce McGlenn of Human Nature Hunting for a special field trip. Join us on the tide flats of Hood Canal for an intimate experience foraging and eating wild shellfish in this unique one-day educational and culinary adventure. Learn to identify and dig manila clams and gather oysters, how to shuck oysters, and enjoy a delicious meal from your own freshly foraged shellfish. What we don’t eat of the fresh shellfish will be available to take home for your family and friends and you'll leave with the confidence to forage and prepare shellfish on your next outing, and a greater awareness of our connection to the land.

Included in this course:

- Group shellfishing license for the day
- All the necessary shellfishing gear
- Personal instruction on how and where to find and identify clams and oysters
- Oyster shucking lessons
- Overview of the rules and regulations
- Health and safety considerations
- A shellfish dinner with wine and hot cider
- Time to relax and/or philosophize around the campfire

All class and event purchases at The Pantry are non-refundable. If you’re unable to attend, you are always welcome to transfer your ticket to a friend or family member.

We understand that plans can change. When possible, we are happy to offer a credit or a transfer to a future event if we are able to fill your spot from our waitlist. Because our classes are small and ingredient-driven, this is not guaranteed and depends on demand and timing. Cancellations made within 48 hours of the event are not eligible for credit or transfer, as we are typically unable to fill those spots on short notice.
