About the event

Ready to elevate your home cooking and master the art of preparing delicious fish from scratch? Join our intensive, hands-on workshop and learn the skills to transform a whole fish into a stunning, flavourful dish.


What You'll Master

Trout fillets on a wooden board with lemon slices, pepper, salt, and thyme. A knife lies nearby. Fresh and appetizing setup.

🐟 Fish Filleting Fundamentals

Go beyond the counter! Learn what to look for when buying the freshest catch, understand round fish anatomy, and receive step-by-step demonstrations and practice on:

  • Descaling and prepping your fish.

  • Expert filleting, trimming, and pin bone removal (using trout, applicable to cod, salmon, and more!).

  • Different skinning options.


🐟 Crispy Skin Perfection

 Say goodbye to soggy skin! We'll give you a detailed demonstration and instruction on pan-searing skin-on fish for consistently perfect, crisp results every time.



🐟 Versatile Cooking & Sauces: Explore foundational cooking methods (from steaming to whole fish preparation) and learn to make simple, show-stopping pan sauces that will instantly elevate any seafood dish, including classic Beurre Blanc/Monte, zesty Lemon Caper Sauce (Picatta), and vibrant Puttanesca
