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, using both grilling and indirect cooking
- 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:
- A round fish, such as sea bass or bream
- Oily fish, such as mackerel (normally smoked)
- A “meaty” fish such as monkfish
- A cephalopod like squid or octopus
FORMAT
The format is instructive, relaxed and fun. We start with a quick snack, then light the barbecues. Whilst the barbecues come up to temperature your tutor will introduce the fish we will cook, and explain why they were selected, and how to buy the best fish yourselves. The exact format can vary slightly due to availability (and size) of the fish we can obtain but we generally cook smoked fish for the whole group on one barbecue; then everyone normally cooks all of the other fish.
