Eat the Beach is a uniquely informative, practical guide to coastal
foraging, essential for anyone interested in survival skills or
just wanting to get more out of messing about in rock pools. Fraser
Christian runs the UK's only specialist Coastal Survival School. He
is a fully qualified chef who has led courses for the famous River
Cottage and now regularly forages for some of the UK's top Michelin
restaurants. In this book he shares his expertise on safety,
particularly with regard to weather and tides, techniques for
fishing from the shore, finding, identifying and cooking sea plants
(including seaweed) and shellfish, and takes the reader step by
step through the process of building a clam oven for the ultimate
beach feast. Essential reading for anyone likely to be wild camping
by the seashore, or who wants to be equipped for any survival
situation (the Coastal Survival School was formed in response to
requests from those who found themselves in just such a situation
after the 2004 tsunami). The seashore is a rich source of food:
this book teaches anyone how to collect it, catch it, prepare it,
cook it and enjoy it.
