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 evening class is on learning to choose the best fish, and to bring out its best using the barbecue.

• 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 these as a group)

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 larger fish, such as sea bass
• Oily fish, such as mackerel
• A cephalopod, like squid
• A "meaty" fish such as monkfish

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. From then on it is simple: cook, eat, repeat.
