🦀 Catch your own

Shellfish & crustaceans

Some of the best eating on the coast never takes a rod. Drop a trap for crab or lobster, throw a cast net for shrimp, rake a flat for clams, or pick oysters and mussels off the rocks at low tide. Pick a species below to see what it gives you, how it is caught, the gear and season - and the one thing that matters more than any of it: harvesting only from clean, open, legal water.
