Dive into the world of fish cookery under the guidance of our expert in-house chefs! This workshop will give any home cook the skills, confidence, and know-how to prepare and cook fresh fish beautifully at home.
You’ll get hands-on experience with two different types of sustainable fish, learning how to scale, gut, and fillet your own. We’ll be using the best local fish from across the South West - from Newlyn to Lyme Regis - so you’ll be working with incredible, responsibly sourced produce. We’ll explore a range of cooking techniques, including grilling, poaching, curing, and frying, before you put it all together to create your own two-course fish supper, sitting down together to enjoy a delicious fish supper.
