Local Food & Farming

I grew up knowing my Dad’s best friend was a fisherman. For years I’d hear my father reminisce about the days when he and Kirk built fly rods together and lured eels, bass, and lingcod along the California coast. I also knew that these adventure-book tales eventually became a career-reality for Kirk. After years of bumming around Point Reyes and Half Moon Bay, Kirk founded his company, called Sea Forager, where he ethically catches, guts, and delivers fish to San Francisco residents. He has more than 2,000 customers, leads ocean exploration and sustainability tours on the side, and is the author of two books. And, as I was reminded by Kirk, he holds the record for the largest monkeyface eel ever caught in California.
