Men who fish botanize work the turning-lathe or gather seaweeds will make - photo 3

Men who fish, botanize, work the turning-lathe or gather seaweeds, will make admirable husbands, wrote Robert Louis Stevenson. Pacific Feast is dedicated to my beloved husband, Chris Moench, who has fished, botanized, turned a potters wheel, and gathered seaweedsand other wild comestiblesto urge this book forward. Without his generous and patient spirit, it simply wouldnt be.

Jennifer Hahn

Pacific Feast is also dedicated to Amelia Lear (Smith), my mother, for raising me and for passing on her words that are as real as her actions: Do what you love. Do your best. Do what you need to in spite of how many things pull at you. Do it with persistence and passion.

Introduction

THERE IS SOMETHING DEEP-DOWN satisfying, almost mystical, about foraging for your dinneror even a morsel of it. I remember this years first foraging trip on January 9 at sunset. Kneeling in the damp sand of a surf-slammed Pacific beach, reaching into a gloppy shovel hole, feeling for a soap-smooth razor clam. It was cold as river stone, but it pulsed with life as I touched it, as if woken from a long nap. The clam pulled away from my grip like a kite spool tugged ever deeper by forces beyond my reach. Remembering the pattern, I held tight to the upper half. Soon the clams digging foot paused and drew in. The downward tug slacked. In that moment, I lifted into the salt air a creature whose coastal roots go back millions of years. Thanks, I said, wiping the sandy clam, long and tapered as an eyeglass case, across my pant leg. The razor clams varnished surface reflected white surf, rose clouds, my shadowed face and flying hair. It was a scene as ancient and immediate as hunger. One that had repeated thousands of times. And I was part of this continuum.

Imagine for a moment one long feast table spanning from the islands of Yakutat Bay in southwest Alaska to Point Conception, California, and beyond, rising from the Pacific Ocean to the Cascades crest. Since the great Ice Age, this 3000-mile-long table is where Northwest Coast indigenous people traversed rain forests, clam-squirting beaches, wildflower meadows, muskegs, and river estuaries to gather all the food, medicine, and supplies needed to live. From alder-smoked salmon to dwarf blueberries, Dungeness crab to fern crosiers, the flavors, textures, colors, and aromas of ocean and earth filled their canoes, cedar storage boxes, and communal feast dishes.
