---DETAILS---

Working with whole fish can be intimidating, but the skills you gain from knowing how to prepare it is well worth the effort. In this deep dive into fish cookery, we will teach you about seasonality and how to spot freshness when buying seafood, as well as how to fillet two round fishes and a flat fish. We will explore several different methods of preparing and serving fish, such as pickling (soused mackerel), curing (sea bass tartar), steaming (sea bass en papillote), and pan-roasting (sole meunière). The dishes made in class will equip you with skills and techniques you’ll use every time you cook fish, ensuring you know how to use all parts of the fish effectively.
