 What to Expect

Join us for coffee and a brief introduction to the market and life at Billingsgate at 8.30am. Part of the morning is a practical hands-on session working with 2 - 3 species of seafood learning some basic fishmongering techniques. The fish you prepare is yours to take away to enjoy over the weekend. The second part of the morning is a demonstration session where further species of fish are prepared. The chefs will then cook 4 - 5 recipes using fish prepared during the course and served as a lunch time taster.

 Who should attend

If you want to learn some basic fishmongering skills this course is split between a hands-on practical session and an innovative cooking demonstration, this is an informal but informative course which is designed to inspire you to cook more fish at home.

 What you take home

New skills, recipe ideas and fish to cook at home. Please bring a cool bag. Merchandise (including knives and our Billingsgate Market Cookbook) will be available to purchase during the day.

 Can I buy fish?

If you wish to buy extra fish from the market before the course remember to bring cash as many merchants will not take a cheque or card. We can store fresh fish in our chiller for the duration of the course, but we have very limited freezer space. Saturday is ALWAYS very busy, so you will need to arrive in plenty of time to park and look around the market.
