Seafood cookery skills course.
A master class in the preparation of some of the finest local fish and shellfish available from the local fishmonger.
The day will begin with a tasty breakfast of locally smoked kippers and poached eggs, with a cupa or two we will have time to talk about the fishing methods used locally and what range of fish and shellfish we may find at Simon's, the local fishmonger.
The freshest and finest seafood available will be on offer and after we decide on a selection, for our later cookery session, Simon will show us all the trick of the trade including gutting, filleting and how to recognise the freshest of catches in any fishmonger or shops. If weather permits we will go for a quick seashore forage to try and find some other tasty treats to go with the fish.
With a basket or two of fine local sustainable seafood, its back off to Trill.
When we get back there will be a demonstration and practical hands on session of the following popular fish cookery methods and recipes:
