Seafood - short course

We are right by the sea, so what better place to learn to cook seafood can there be?  We will explore the various types of shellfish and other seafood, preparing them in a variety of ways, to give you the confidence to do it at home.

The species of fish and shellfish used during the course will vary by season but are chosen to give you a good opportunity to learn useful skills and recipes.  On a perfect day we would have crabs, oysters, mussels, scallops, prawns and black bream.  Wherever possible, everything will be locally and sustainably caught, and usually comes from S&P Fish at the harbour 200m away.  The recipes are versatile and so can be easily adapted to different fish and to suit your own tastes.  We will normally make crab cakes with plum and ginger sauce, prawn banderillos, mussels with cream and garlic, seared scallops with persilade dressing and fillets of bream with sauce vierge. 

 

The course ends with a seafood meal of your creations.  You are welcome to bring drinks to enjoy with your fish.  We have glasses and just ask that you take your empties away with you.
