Hand-gathering is the technique of using only the hands to collect fish or other aquatic creatures directly from the water. This method often involves walking into shallow waters or reaching into crevices where the creatures may be hiding. It can be used to gather various types of seafood, such as shellfish or small fish, and requires skill, patience, and knowledge of the environment to be successful.
