Puget sound king crab. Their massive claws equipped with teeth eerily reminiscent of human molars, are infamous for their destruction of Dungeness crab traps. , and I incorporated this fella into a forage feast. Gently poached in a wine heavy ‘court bouillon’ and served with a scallop roe garlic butter emulsion alongside gooseneck barnacles, mussels, scallop and greenling. Big thanks to my fellow mindful, responsible foragers and a special shout out to the big, beautiful blue-green sea for offering her bounty 🌊❤️

Dear friends of Green Artichoke,

It appears as though one of our competitors has taken to sabotaging our business on Google maps reviews, which happens to be an important component to this business. As a small operation I get to know every client. Not one of the recent 4 one star reviews (believed to be from one person with multiple profiles) are legitimate (they don’t even make sense, if you know how we operate)

Your help in taking 2 minutes to report these reviews as fake will be extremely helpful in having them removed from google maps. Detailed instructions listed below:

Many thanks,

1.) copy/paste this link:
