Another viewpoint on how things have changed, and not for the better, in our Sound. A true pioneer of local Puget Sound harvesting weighs in.
Hanna Raskin in Seattle Weekly reviews Shiro Kashiba’s new book about his life and times as Seattle’s premier sushi chef, Shiro: Wit, Wisdom & Recipes from a Sushi Pioneer. Raskin writes: “He pulled kelp from the Puget Sound; dug up geoducks and rescued the salmon roe and crab guts that Pike Place vendors trashed. He treated the mountains and ocean as his pantry. But today, he writes, the region’s supply of mushrooms, clams and clean water has dwindled.”
