Clam and Oyster Experience

Uzoefu wa Kome na Chaza

The tide as a larder.

On the falling tide, women and children still collect clams and oysters from the flats. Join a gather, then cook them simply — lime, chilli, fire. A small experience with a long memory, and a direct line into Pemba’s coastal foodways.
