Channel island fiction question
Hi survivalists, I’m working on a short story about someone who gets stuck on Santa Cruz Island (one of the channel islands) and has to survive for a couple months. This is fiction so we’ll ignore the fact that foraging on this island is illegal, i presume. I was making a list of plants the character might find and be able to eat and fish they might be able to catch, but I have little first hand experience with foraging in california. Any ideas or advice on what you’d find if you were stuck there on that island? Here’s my tentative list. thanks
\-Manzanita berries and flowers.
\-horsetail
\-Braken (cooked or soaked Pteridium aquilinum.)
\-big leaf maple trees seeds (need to soak/boil)
\-oak trees have acorns (need to soak)
\-kelp
\-calico bass?. They hang out in kelp fields.
\-rockfish?
