Fish & Seafood Plus
Two-day cookery course
Seafood and fish have grown enormously in popularity in recent
years. It's no surprise - using the fruits of the sea you
have almost unlimited possibilities in terms of the dishes
you can make, and it’s also an extremely healthy option.
However many people – even those working in the catering
industry - are intimidated by the sheer variety on offer at
the fishmongers.
Whether you're new to fish or in need of some new ideas, our
two-day seafood course will show you the best ways to prepare,
cook and serve seafood - scaling, gutting, skinning and filleting
are all covered on our two-day Seafood course. In Devon we’re
lucky enough to have great fish all year round from Brixham
and Plymouth - we’ll show you what to look for when you’re
buying fish and shellfish using the freshest produce available
and tell you how to get more muscle from your mussels, fresh
thrills from brill and make the most of your hake.
We start at 9.30am on Saturday, and after a short health and
safety talk, we begin cooking. The course is almost entirely
hands-on – over the course of the weekend we’ll
cover classics like moules marinieres, dressed crab or fish
cakes as well as more contemporary dishes like salad of scallops
and squid with pickled cucumber and sesame dressing or Pan
fried black bream fillets with creamed savoy cabbage and smoked
bacon lardons.
As with all our cookery courses, the skills you learn will
be used in creating mouthwatering dishes which you will be
able to taste. You will prepare a light lunch on Saturday
followed later in the day around 5pm by a sample menu and
a glass of wine with your fellow students.
On Sunday you will work through till around 2.30pm and your
course will finish with the three course meal you have prepared,
a glass of wine and, most importantly, an opportunity to review
your cookery course with a question and answer session and
informal discussions around the table over lunch.
