What better way to start the weekend - but a morning at the Seafood School situated above the iconic Billingsgate Seafood Market.
- Join us at the school at 7am to register and a brief talk above the market and discussion about market operation.
- Explore the market on your own and make extra purchases if you would like stock up.
- Return to the Seafood School for a 'fish' breakfast and refreshments.
- After breakfast spend 75- 90 minutes prepare the designated species on the day.
This course is hands-on seafood preparation only with NO cooking, although we will give you lots of information about the seafood prepared and how to STORE/FREEZE AND COOK IT.
Take away the seafood you have prepared with a recipe with a full description on how to complete the dish at home.
