Kirk Lombard knows where to find them, and what to do with them.

Despite his affinity for "underdog" fish, Lombard reserved one of his longest chapters—a full nine pages—for a popular species he lauds as culturally, economically and recreationally important:  salmon.

In addition to the wealth of information, anecdotes, opinion --and even haiku--packed into The Sea Forager’s Guide, the book is full of detailed pen and ink illustrations by San Francisco artist Leighton Kelly, a friend of the author. Kirk Lombard recalls that he had a very specific model in mind for the look of his book, and got a surprise when he explained it to Kelly.

Kirk Lombard has also launched CSA-style fish-mongering service, Sea Forager Seafood, that he is currently juggling with an intermittent book tour, which brings him to book Passage in San Rafael on Saturday afternoon at 4 pm.
