We
count ourselves extremely lucky to be only a stone's throw away from Brixham,
one of the most important fishing ports in Europe and the UK's largest fish market.
This gives us access to a wide selection of the best fish in the country.
Our
fish classes are built around the availability of fresh, locally caught fish in
perfect condition.
.MEDITERRANEAN
FISH
In
this class we will create dishes in the best Mediterranean traditions. Fish is
eaten throughout the region and the variety of dishes is amazing. We'll pick a
selection which demonstrates a range of flavours and techniques.
Recipes
will include:
Bouillabaisse
with Rouille
Perfect
Calamari
Spiced
Mackerel Escabeche
Moroccan
Fish Tagine
along
with many more.
FABULOUS
FISH
For
our most popular fish class we take a wide selection of fresh, local seafood and
learn to prepare it from scratch as we discuss sourcing, how to buy the best fish
and how to cook it whether steamed, pan-fried, grilled or baked.
By
the end of the class you'll be confident with buying, filleting, and cooking many
different types of fish and seafood including both well known and less familar
species.
Throughout
the day we'll enjoy a tasting menu of the many dishes we cook.
ASIAN
FISH
Asian
flavours work wonderfully with fish. We'll make an aromatic fish noodle soup,
steam fish in parcels with lemongrass, bake fish in claypots, master tempura batter
and griddle squid with Vietnamese seasoning.
Recipes
will include:
Scallops with Chilli and Ginger
Rice
Pancakes with Prawn
Claypot
Salmon with Dill
Fish
Noodle Soup
along
with many more.
Our
fishmonger, Mark Lobb, has been buying fish at Brixham for his whole working life
and his knowledge and experience of fish and fishing in the Southwest is second
to none. For our classes Mark will make a selection at the fishmarket, choosing
fresh fish which are in season and in great condition. This will always include
some well known fish such as sole, plaice, haddock, scallops, mussels and crab,
as well as less familiar species like hake, pollock, mullet, gurnard, squid and
cuttlefish.
Our
classes are very hands on and everyone gets the full experience of scaling, gutting,
filleting and cleaning the fish (if you want to) as well as preparing the final
dishes.
Classes
are suitable for beginners and intermediate cooks wishing to become more confident
with fish. Each course is limited to 8 places to allow for maximum participation.

see the diary for forthcoming Fish Cooking Classes.
Allergies:
We are very aware that some people suffer severe allergic reactions to some
types of fish and shellfish. In fact David hasn't eaten oysters since our honeymoon
in 1993. We will always avoid using a particular fish or mollusc if we know someone
attending a course should avoid it; after all, there are plenty more fish in the
sea. Please let us know if you have reactions to particular species.
