What will I study?
If you're a little afraid of cooking with fresh fish or not sure how to prepare it, then we'll teach you everything you need to know on this short course. You will learn the basics of cooking and have the opportunity to prepare and taste a range of local and seasonal fish and seafood.
You will learn to recognise types of fish and seafood and how to portion. Then with the skills you have learnt, you will prepare and cook some fish dishes and present them for tasting.
The course will cover skills and techniques, including:
- washing, trimming, filletting, and skinning fish.
- poaching, frying and baking,
- making stocks and veloute sauces
- portioning, coating, pan-frying and roasting.
The focus will be on local and seasonal availability, and we'll aim to use different types of fish, including flat, round, oily, crustaceans and molluscs.
