ardines and Spanish mackerel caught by Captain Pete “the Greek” on the Sardella out of Half Moon Bay. Oysters from Grassy Bar, a family-owned and operated oyster bed on California’s central coast. Skin-on ahi tuna caught off of Kauai by small-boat fishermen who use sustainable gear to catch their fish, then pack it in ice and drive the seafood to the airport to be sent to California. If you subscribe to the Sea Forager’s ubersustainable seafood subscription service, this was some of the ocean’s bounty you received in recent weeks. The fish is not only fresh-fromthe-boat quality, it comes to customers with full transparency about exactly how, when and where it was caught. The Sea Forager, which is based in San Francisco but delivers throughout the Bay Area, including to Palo Alto, Mountain View and Redwood City, epitomizes the sea-to-table spirit. Owner Kirk Lombard works with a network of fishermen — mostly in the Bay Area — who meet his high standards for sustainability. He aims to bring seafood to people who care about their food’s origins but who might not have the time or access to get it. The subscription model means that customers pick up a weekly or biweekly delivery from a set location. Midpeninsula outposts can be found in Redwood City and Palo Alto; local tech companies like Google, Facebook and Box also offer pickups their employees. For $24, you get enough fish for dinner for two, or $47 for four people. The basic “Slab” includes only fish fillets; the “Neptune’s Delight” includes fillets or shellfish (mollusks or crustaceans), small whole fish or a combination of these. Customers can also add on special offerings each week depending on what’s available. The packages come with recipes created by Lombard’s wife, who calls herself the “Fishwife” and members get other benefits, like access to local seafood events and half-off seafood foraging tours led by Lombard.

The company is home-grown. Lombard, a personable, slightly rough-around-the-edges East Coast native, has an eclectic background. He’s a former actor who spent 14 years as an art teacher and counselor for emotionally disturbed kids in the Bay Area. He’s also a writer, musician and father of two. Throughout several career “diversions” over the years, he has always loved to go fishing, he said in an interview at the water’s edge on Pier 45 in San Francisco, surrounded by crab pots, fishing boats and warehouses.
Several years ago, Lombard left his job as an art teacher to pursue fishing full time. He started as a deckhand on a party boat out of Berkeley (and hated it), but met a biologist from the California Department of Fish and Wildlife who was tasked with checking all the fish species and explaining about them to the boat-goers. A self-described fish geek, Lombard immediately asked the biologist, “How do I get that job?” It required a degree in marine biology, but the persistent, self-educated fisherman sent an email every day for six

months to the biologist’s boss with his own ocean observations and suggestions for how the department could use that information. He eventually wore her down, got hired and spent the next seven years as a fisheries observer for the Pacific States Marine Fisheries Commission. It was his job “to find out what the local citizenry was fishing for,” he explains on the Sea Forager website. “Onboard rockfish boats off the Farallones I counted rockfish; on the piers I checked herring, jacksmelt, stripers, pile perch; on the beaches I saw how surf and night smelt were captured; in the hidden coves I checked in on goose barnacle poachers (not because I had to, because I wanted to); in downtown San Francisco I watched homeless, drop-line-wielding grandmothers, pull rockfish after rockfish out of storm drains,” he writes. “You want to get deep with this stuff? Talk to me.” Lombard’s specialty then and now, he said, is “the things that are hidden in plain sight.” He became skilled at catching monkeyface eels that live under rocks in the San Francisco Bay. He fished off a rare commercially registered kayak. He started blogging about his saltwater experiences, calling it the Monkeyface News. Ever-resourceful, when he lost his job with Fish and Wildlife, he found a San Francisco foraging company and pitched them the idea of a seafood foraging class. It took off, got some media attention and he eventually left the foraging company to run his own tours — talking about the history of
the San Francisco Bay, its fish populations, pollution problems, sustainability and how to forage for your own seafood. At the end of the tours, Lombard said what he frequently heard from participants was: This is really cool, but I have no time to scour the coast for my own smelt and eels. “But if I want to know where my fish came from and I want to do the right thing as far as sourcing sustainably, where should I go?” he said people often asked him. “It just suddenly dawned on me after two years of doing those tours that I could be selling fish,” he said. A lready wel l-embedded within the local fishing community, he had a natural base of fishermen to tap. He started what he said was, at the time, San Francisco’s second Community Supported Fishery (CSF), similar to the more commonly known Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) subscriptions. Lombard only works with small-scale fishermen who use ethical practices — linecaught, never in a net. He’s also partnered with TwoXSea, a San Francisco company with rigorous sustainability standards that supplies Bay Area restaurants with seafood. Sea Forager customers often get TwoXSea fish, too, which must meet the six criteria listed on the company’s website: the harvesting of the fish has “left more than enough fish for future generations and caused no habitat destruction; there is no loss of marine life through incidental catching; any farming products sold did not involve use of chemicals or
medicines, adverse use of feed from wild sources, introduction of non-native species into local fisheries or inflict “economic adversity on families and communities;” the person who caught the fish was paid fairly; the fish can be traced back to the vessel that caught them; and the fish comes from as local an area as possible. In layman’s terms, that means “the salmon were caught by fisherman Mikey aboard a ship built in 1922 in the eye of a wild Pacific gale four miles off Bolinas” and “you could have a beer with most of your fishermen because they operate nearby,” Lombard writes on his website. He adheres to TwoXSea’s standards simply “because it just seemed like, what does the world really need? Does it need another person (who’s) making excuses, or should I just really do the hardest thing? I think that’s what we’re doing.” In a world where much of the seafood is mislabeled or caught unethically — but combating that as a consumer can feel overwhelming — Sea Forager offers a solution. And it’s apparently a popular solution. Within two months of launching Sea Forager’s subscription service, 150 people signed up, Lombard said. There are now about 540 subscribers from San Francisco to the South Bay. Local customers include both the highly environmentally conscious and the more casual consumers who just want to eat great seafood. Palo Alto resident Deborah Buck has subscribed to Sea Forager for about six months. Her seafood criteria are less stringent,
Weekend but still environmentally conscious. “It’s got to be fresh,” she said, and she prefers seafood that is not farmed nor has been frozen. While she’ll buy seafood at Safeway or Palo Alto grocery store Piazza’s, the Sea Forager fish is “to-die-for” fresh, she said. She and her husband usually throw whatever they get on the grill with butter and not much else, given the high quality, she said. On the other end of the spectrum is Enoch Choi, a
Palo Alto Medical Foundation doctor who recently returned from Meat Camp at Belcampo Meat Co.’s farm in Mount Shasta, gets his tomatoes from the same Scotts Valley farm that supplies Michelin-starred restaurant Manresa in Los Gatos, and will often cook Sea Forager’s goods in his own sous vide machine. To get seafood that met his quality standards, Choi used to drive to specialty markets in San Jose that fly in fresh fish. It took a lot of effort and money,
and the like, interspersed with quips and jokes that give you a taste of Lombard’s personality. “For people who care about things like that, more and more, they’re paying for the story,” Choi said. “It’s kind of like a reassurance. We like to have an ongoing dialogue about everything and this kind of completes a very missing part and understanding of a pretty essential thing that we do a couple times a day: eating. We know a lot more about a lot of things in our lives
he said. After attending one of Lombard’s foraging tours, he quickly signed up for the subscription service. Choi said he appreciates not only how delicious the fresh seafood is, but the level of intimacy he gets through Sea Forager. Sometimes Lombard will send a video of the fishermen who caught that week’s delivery, and Choi can watch his dinner get reeled in. The Sea Forager website is also full of educational information about local species, fisheries
(than about) the provenance of our food.” Lombard is seeking to change that. To find out more about — and eat more — truly sustainable seafood, he unabashedly offers the obvious advice: Sign up for one of his tours, and find a nearby Sea Forager pickup location.

Something borrowed, something blue ‘MIKE AND DAVE’ NEED FUNNY JOKES IN WEDDING COMEDY 1/2(Century 16 and 20) Some films strive for a timelessness, aiming for future-classic status through finesse of scriptwriting and performance and visual design. And then there’s “Mike and Dave Need Wedding Dates,” a lazy, crass comedy that all but confesses it’s Mr. Right Now, not Mr. Right, by name-checking better films like “Jurassic Park” and “Wedding Crashers.” The “Wedding Crashers” allusion at least makes sense, as “Mike and Dave Need Wedding Dates” nakedly aspires to the earlier movie’s wedding-themed humor. The new film comes “inspired by the life stories of Mike Stangle and Dave Stangle,” two dumb, profane, mean-spirited, self-obsessed perma-fratboys who once ran a Craiglist ad to get dates for a family wedding. Mock-convinced their story would be “developed into a romantic comedy,” they wrote, “We refuse to let Ashton Kutcher play either of our characters, however, we will consider him for a supporting role.” That comma splice turned out to be prophetic: no Ashton Kutcher to be seen, but rather Adam Devine

THE BFG 00
While passable, “The BFG” is largely lifeless, which is unusual for fantasy material birthed by Roald Dahl or directed by Steven Spielberg. The tale begins in a London orphanage, where the lonely young Sophie (newcomer Ruby Barnhill) encounters the scary-at-first but actually gentle giant (Mark Rylance). Fearing exposure, the one and only BFG (“Big Friendly Giant”) kidnaps Sophie. Sadly, they don’t make fast friends, but they do make slow ones, eating almost half of the film
(“Pitch Perfect,” “Workaholics”) as wantonly destructive Mike and Zac Efron as almost-asboneheaded Dave. At the outset, Mike and Dave’s parents (Stephen Root and Stephanie Faracy) implore the boys to “grow up,” so as not to ruin another family event with drunken debauchery intended to impress women. The mandatory solution: secure women before they arrive at the Hawaiian wedding of their sweet sister (Sugar Lyn Beard) to nice guy Eric (Sam Richardson of “Veep”). Two conniving lowlifes—Anna Kendrick’s Alice and Aubrey Plaza’s Tatiana— answer the call, the joke being that they’re a match made in hell for Mike and Dave, even if they disguise their own walkingdisaster status until it’s too late to ditch them. Yes, they’re meant for each other, and the fact that “Mike and Dave” will inevitably turn into a romantic comedy blunts its potential as a black comedy of comeuppance for the titular jerks. The lazy script by Andrew Jay Cohen and Brendan O’Brien (the team behind Efron’s “Neighbors” movies)
encourages first-time feature director Jake Szymanski to embrace the juvenile and amp up everything past amusing, past funny and into grotesque. Devine embodies the approach with his rubbery mugging, while Efron merely looks hot and yells a lot as the ostensible straight man. Plaza and Kendrick wring a few deadpan chuckles, but all around it’s a shame that talented performers (especially the women) are wasted on such dire material. You’ve seen everything here before, in some form, including the physical punishment doled out on the hapless bride-to-be and the oh-so-naughty sex scene, this time played out between Beard and guest-star Kumail Nanjiani(“Silicon Valley”), who’s saddled with a guru-esque massage therapist role that trades on racial stereotypes. The ultimate canary in the coal mine: a “say hello to my little friend” joke, which guarantees a film’s creative bankruptcy. Rated R for crude sexual content, language throughout, drug use and some graphic nudity. One hour, 38 minutes. — Peter Canavese
in dull and near tensionless courtship. A twinkly John Williams score aims to prop up the whimsy, but to no avail. It’s the story’s second movement that gooses the film to life (during a trip to Buckingham Palace). But it’s not enough to save the expositiondriven narrative, and there’s little sense that Dahl’s novel excited Spielberg’s imagination in the least. Rated PG for action/peril, some scary moments and brief rude humor. One hour, 57 minutes. — P.C.
de facto family of young clownfish Nemo (now Hayden Rolence) and his neurotic dad Marlon (Albert Brooks) when she has a sudden memory of her loving parents (Diane Keaton and Eugene Levy). The revelation prompts another ocean-spanning reunion mission, but much of the film plays out in the microcosmic world of the Marine Life Institute, home to the instantly lovable characters of testy Hank the octopus (Ed O’Neill), nearsighted whale shark Destiny (Kaitlin Olson) and beluga Bailey (Ty Burrell), who struggles with echolocation. If the plotting feels overly familiar, its elegance becomes apparent in the final movements that confirm the theme of building selfconfidence through self-discovery. That,

May he be Frank? ‘ZAPPA IN HIS OWN WORDS’ LETS LATE ROCK LEGEND SAY HIS PIECE 000(Aquarius Theatre) ‘Ever since the mid-20th Century, to be a celebrated artist has meant living in a glass house, and the more the celebrity resists, the worse the intrusions become. And so the celebrity interview came to represent two things to the celebrity: an opportunity to “play nice” and throw some raw meat to the media, or a field of battle offering an opportunity to set the record straight about lies and misconceptions. From the evidence of Thorsten Sch¸tte’s found-footage documentary “Eat That Question: Frank Zappa in His Own Words,” avant-garde musician Zappa saw the interview as sometimes an endurance test, sometimes an amusement, and all the time a chess match he could never lose, played as it was against lesser lights.

CENTRAL INTELLIGENCE 001/2
The new action-comedy “Central Intelligence” proposes a seemingly unhinged CIA agent (Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson) embroiling a straight-laced neurotic (Kevin Hart) in life-threatening intrigue. Johnson plays Robby Weirdicht, established in a flashback as an obese misfit partially rescued by Hart’s “Most Likely to Succeed” Calvin Joiner. Two decades later, Joiner frets as he’s passed over for promotion and faces couples counseling with his wife, Maggie (Danielle Nicolet), when Weirdicht resurfaces, self-reinvented as nerdy buff optimist Bob Stone. His deliberately bland name “Stone” belies his CIA agency, currently compromised by accusations that he’s a traitor; he is hunted by former colleague Pamela Harris (a deadpan Amy Ryan). At nearly two hours, the character dynamic and predictable formula become wearisome before every loose end is tied, but the cast and their director, Rawson Marshall Thurber, carry the day with a good stock of laughs. Rated PG-13 for crude and suggestive humor, some nudity, action violence and brief strong language. One hour, 54 minutes. — P.C.
COURTESY OF SONY PICTURES CLASSICS
Avant-garde musician Frank Zappa, who died in 1993, tells his story through a career-spanning collection of interviews in the documentary, “In His Own Words.”
and toured with his band the Mothers of Invention (which went through numerous iterations). Sch¸tte’s career-spanning collection of interviews with Zappa tells his story “In His Own Words,” a story that also includes practical activism in support of his art, and a career in classical composition that wove through the years (most prominently attached to his experimental film “200 Motels”) and intensified in his last decade. “Eat That Question” comprises Zappa interviews, snip-
pets of news magazine reports, pop-culture oddities (an early appearance on “The Steve Allen Show,” a “What’s My Line?” guest shot, a few choice musical performances, including one that aired on the Swedish show “Opopoppa,” and even a debate on “Crossfire” where Zappa warns of America turning into a “fascist theocracy.”) With nearly every appearance, Zappa builds his anti-establishment cred. Though he describes himself, with deceptive simplicity, as “an entertainer,” Zappa evinces a
restless mind, easily tapped for creativity and intellect. Like so many rock icons (John Lennon leaps to mind), Zappa before an interview mic falls into the roles of philosopher (“We’re not concerned enough about the quality of our lives”), victim of misunderstanding and misinterpretation (“I’m famous, but most people don’t even know what I do”), and provocateur (“Dirty words don’t exist. This is a fantasy that is manufactured by religious fanatics and government organizations to keep people stupid”). And he’s rarely wrong. He can be short with interviewers and a bit petty, railing against fans of only his early work, for example, but he always has a valid point to make, even if only by interpretable satire. Zappa waged a lifelong battle against closed-minded squares,
exemplified in his infamous 1980s censorship clash with Tipper Gore over warning labels on rock albums. But at one point, Zappa insists that he doesn’t use his oft-controversial art for political or religious or social causes. With typical bluntness, he says, “I do my music for people who like music.” And indeed, people who like music will find something to like about “Eat That Question.” Even those who hate Zappa’s music will likely be fascinated by his musical reach and his ornery personality. Zappa fanatics will be in hog heaven at the treasure-trove assemblage, and it’s certain the doc will make some new fans of the devilish rock icon. Rated R for language, some sexual references and brief nudity. One hour, 33 minutes. — Peter Canavese

Perceptions are deceiving, as Bay Area native Michael Onstead discovered after embarking on his real estate career in Sacramento 18 years ago. “There is a quality of life here that is unexpected,” he says. “It’s fun to introduce people to the great restaurants, the American River Parkway and especially the friendly people.” Michael’s passion for sharing his adopted hometown is evident. A top broker responsible for many of downtown’s top development projects, Michael tells his clients about the region’s growth and this well-kept secret: “The evenings in Sac are phenomenal.”
