Whether at the ocean shore or along meandering tidal creeks, many residents of Gullah Geechee communities feel a profound connection to water, an essential source of food. Water also offers spiritual connections to ancestors in the Lowcountry and beyond, including ancestral lands in West Africa. Weaving and using cast nets were important tasks performed by enslaved people. These skills helped them to build self-sufficiency and community through traditional and familiar methods of food procurement despite the brutal conditions of slavery. To this day, Gullah community members like chef Sallie Ann Robinson keep alive these ancestral fishing practices. Robinson herself has thrown cast nets, fishing for shrimp along creeks near her home on Daufuskie Island, South Carolina. Honoring her community’s longstanding reliance on and love for these crustaceans, Robinson will prepare her “Momma’s Shrimp and Tada Salad” during a Cooking Up History program on November 3 at 2:00 p.m. “Foodways and Waterways with Lowcountry” is a free in-person event that will also be live-streamed.
