FISH BARBECUE MASTERCLASS


There are few better meals than a piece of great quality fish, simply grilled or smoked. The emphasis of this fun, relaxed, hands-on class is on learning to choose the best fish, and to bring out its best using the barbecue.

KEY DETAILS

Location: London Barbecue School, SE15 4QN
Duration: 3.5 hours | Experience level: beginner | Cost: £125 per person (incl. VAT)

YOU LEARN

  • To identify the best fish, and to prepare it (demo)
  • The professional tricks to lift your barbecue fish cookery to new heights
  • Precise barbecue cooking every time, predominantly using grilling
  • To make sides/sauces to suit the characteristics of each fish (prepared as a group)

DISHES

Supply of fish varies hugely, so we work with the best available on the day of the class. We always aim to cook something from all these categories:

  • Shellfish cooked “on the shell”, such as oysters or scallops
  • Oily fish, such as mackerel
  • Round fish, such as sea bass or bream
  • A cephalopod like squid or octopus

FORMAT

The class is instructive, relaxed and fun. For best use of the time we’ll light the barbecues in advance. Your tutor will introduce the fish we will cook, explain why they were selected, and discuss how to buy the best fish yourselves; then we get into cooking and eating. The exact cooking format can vary slightly due to availability (and size) of the fish we can obtain but we generally cook the shellfish for the whole group on one barbecue; then participants cook all of the other fish.

WE PROVIDE

  • All the ingredients, equipment and fuel for the class – there will be plenty to eat.
  • A barbecue per 3 people (we’ll match you up with others if you come on you own)
  • Notes and recipes (electronic format)
  • Alcoholic drinks – available to purchase
