Winter

My son and I decided to hit the shore today for a snack.
Tide was already 3/4 in so our selection of food was limited. During low tide you can get clams, urchin, sea cukes, the occasional crab, and sometimes a tide pool locked fish.
The hunting grounds.

After about 20 mins, we had a good handful of china hats. These are snails with, well, hats.

Cheater alert---garlic and butter.

Off to fire building. Scraping bark for tinder.

So, you boil the little suckers till they fall out of their hats.

Remove all the hats and hand clean the buggers of rocks and sand.

Add butter and garlic and pan fry.

And BAM
