Rather than rely only on farmed fish or wild caught fish that is shipped from ports across the world, Neff tries to work with local food, which can create a bit of uncertainty in the menu. Ordering 50 pounds of swordfish from a distributor is a fairly straightforward process. But with local fishing and foraging, you\u2019re working with a wild population, and you\u2019re not guaranteed to find what you set out for. You\u2019re also limited by the seasonality of the food.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0\u201cI think everybody knows that tomatoes or okra or cabbages are seasonal,\u201d says chef and owner Dean Neff. \u201cBut I don\u2019t know that everyone knows the seasonality of oysters or speckled sea trout. Being able to have conversations about that and about sustainability with seafood was important to us.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<div class=\"mfo-wysiwyg-custom-cta read-more\">\n<div class=\"mfo-wysiwyg-custom-cta-flex\">\n<p><a class=\"full\" title=\"Read More\" href=\"https:\/\/modernfarmer.com\/2024\/07\/the-bounty-between-the-tides\/\">full_link<\/a><\/p>\n<div class=\"flex\">\n<p class=\"title mfo-wysiwyg-custom-cta-title h1\">Read More<\/p>\n<div class=\"description\">\n<p>Meet the coastal farm and forager introducing Oregon to climate cuisine.<\/p>\n<div class=\"svg mfo-wysiwyg-custom-cta-svg\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Neff opened the restaurant in 2021 with his partner, and he started working with foragers to access local ingredients at sustainable levels.

Shellem began foraging five years ago, after many years of harvesting wild shellfish. As a conservationist, Shellem is careful when and where she harvests, only bringing in what is in season and in small quantities. \u201cWhen you eat wild and in season\u2026I only eat oysters in season, even though with farmed oysters, you can eat them year round. But I think everything is at its finest when it\u2019s in season. Eating a tomato in the winter is not as exciting as eating a tomato in the summer and appreciating the flavor profiles.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_163594\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-163594\" style=\"width: 519px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img data-dominant-color=\"b6b6b8\" data-has-transparency=\"false\" style=\"--dominant-color: #b6b6b8;\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-163594 not-transparent\" src=\"https:\/\/modernfarmer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/20230208-HT8A3821-1-519x346.webp\" alt=\"\" width=\"519\" height=\"346\" srcset=\"https:\/\/modernfarmer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/20230208-HT8A3821-1-519x346.webp 519w, https:\/\/modernfarmer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/20230208-HT8A3821-1-1200x800.webp 1200w, https:\/\/modernfarmer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/20230208-HT8A3821-1-768x512.webp 768w, https:\/\/modernfarmer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/20230208-HT8A3821-1-jpg.webp 1280w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 519px) 100vw, 519px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-163594\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Dean Neff and Ana Shellem on the water. Photography by Baxter Miller.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Most shellfish seasons have to do with their cycle of breeding and molting, normally coinciding with water temperature. For instance, stone crabs along the east coast are out of season in the summer months, when the crabs will molt, shedding their shells and pumping the warm sea water in and out of their bodies to create new exoskeletons. It\u2019s when the crabs have shed their shells that they can mate, creating nests for their egg sacs. That mating and molting will be done by October, and the season will pick up again then. It\u2019s similar for lobsters. Over the summer, lobsters will migrate into warmer, shallower water to feed and molt, which makes them easier to catch. However, a lobster without its hard shell is trickier to transport, so the peak of lobster season is often earlier in the springtime or in December, before the waters get too cold.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"mfo-wysiwyg-custom-cta take-action\">\n<div class=\"mfo-wysiwyg-custom-cta-flex\">\n<p><a class=\"full\" title=\"Take action\" href=\"https:\/\/www.seasonalfoodguide.org\/\">full_link<\/a><\/p>\n<div class=\"flex\">\n<p class=\"title mfo-wysiwyg-custom-cta-title h1\">Take action<\/p>\n<div class=\"description\">\n<p>Make a commitment to seasonal eating with this seasonal food guide.<\/p>\n<div class=\"svg mfo-wysiwyg-custom-cta-svg\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Each organism in the ocean, just like on land, has a season of rest, regrowth, or stasis, followed by a season of abundance. As consumers, we\u2019re often used to eating strawberries in January or oysters in June. But to truly be aligned with seasonality, Shellem and Neff say, is to widen your palate and embrace other options.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cIt&#8217;s amazing to work with <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.jamesbeard.org\/chef\/dean-neff\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">James Beard chefs<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> that are educated and able to experiment with obscure things, like the tulip snails that Dean&#8217;s been working with, or North Carolina whelks. The seaweeds I get to bring him are really fun, like the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/ocean.si.edu\/ocean-life\/plants-algae\/sea-beans#:~:text=Known%20as%20the%20sea%20bean,a%20thick%20and%20rotund%20grass.\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">sea bean<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> or prickly pear cactus,\u201d says Shellem. \u201cI&#8217;ll even drop off samples so they can make a staff meal, just to educate their staff as well. It is so much fun to see so many people so passionate about the same thing with the same goal.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">But here\u2019s where it gets tricky. Eating seasonally or prioritizing local foods is not just about trying new things. It\u2019s also about learning what the limitations are and sometimes, living with disappointment. Foragers on land, for instance, will only take a certain number of mushrooms in a patch, to ensure sufficient regrowth. For Shellem, the same principle applies to seafood. She gathers what she needs for her restaurants and leaves the rest to flourish. That can make for an uncomfortable conversation at the dinner table. \u201cWhen we were first opening, we explained to the servers that we\u2019re going to run out of a particular fish tonight, and for some people that gives them anxiety,\u201d says Neff. \u201cBut I think that should make you happy. Because that\u2019s the nature of a sustainable restaurant; supplies are limited. We will be constantly changing.\u201d For Neff, leaning into that change, and getting his customers used to it, is key.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"mfo-wysiwyg-custom-cta learn-more\">\n<div class=\"mfo-wysiwyg-custom-cta-flex\">\n<p><a class=\"full\" title=\"Learn more:\" href=\"https:\/\/www.fisheries.noaa.gov\/species-directory\/sustainable-seafood\">full_link<\/a><\/p>\n<div class=\"flex\">\n<p class=\"title mfo-wysiwyg-custom-cta-title h1\">Learn more:<\/p>\n<div class=\"description\">\n<p>Curious about the seafood and aquatic habitat in your region?<\/p>\n<div class=\"svg mfo-wysiwyg-custom-cta-svg\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For Shellem, the lesson is more blunt but arguably more widely applicable. \u201cI think if people could be more comfortable with being told \u2018no\u2019 sometimes, that would be awesome.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_163595\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-163595\" style=\"width: 519px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img data-dominant-color=\"9d8979\" data-has-transparency=\"false\" style=\"--dominant-color: #9d8979;\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-163595 not-transparent\" src=\"https:\/\/modernfarmer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/20230209-HT8A6018-1-519x346.webp\" alt=\"\" width=\"519\" height=\"346\" srcset=\"https:\/\/modernfarmer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/20230209-HT8A6018-1-519x346.webp 519w, https:\/\/modernfarmer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/20230209-HT8A6018-1-1200x800.webp 1200w, https:\/\/modernfarmer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/20230209-HT8A6018-1-768x512.webp 768w, https:\/\/modernfarmer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/20230209-HT8A6018-1-jpg.webp 1280w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 519px) 100vw, 519px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-163595\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Dean Neff prepares his catch at Seabird.
