A woman from New York City travels back and forth to an inherited family shore cabin, eventually divorcing her husband and moving permanently into the cabin, which is on an island she has to take a ferry to. A lot of the book covers her exploration of the island and foraging for wild food using Euell Gibbons books the Blue Eyed Scallop and maybe Wild Asparagus. I think she also travels to New Mexico at some point in the account. She talks about food discovery a lot in her travels. I think I read it about 25 years ago, so maybe 1995? I have somehow confused my recollection of the name with Anne Morrow Lindbergh's Gift From the Sea, sigh. That's not it.

I think non-fiction, kind of autobiographical. I think the woman was a writer. I remember I went on a Euell Gibbons readfest after reading this book, lol.

Here's the Google Books preview - https://books.google.com/books?id=d0x... You can search and find references to Euell Gibbons and his books "Blue Eyed Scallop" and "Wild Asparagus".

Yes, posting a comment that you found your book is good. I marked your request as Solved by clicking the small "edit" link after the topic header/title on the full desktop website (this doesn't work on the mobile website or app).
