Full Day Fish Cookery Class
This full day fish cooking course is proving very popular at Courses For Cooks. On this course we use and taste a wide range of different types of fish and seafood and spur you on to try more. How to use different techniques for cooking fish are a major part of this cookery day.
The one day Fabulous Fish cooking class is a full day of learning fish cookery skills. We focus on using different techniques for cooking fish and seafood - such as grilling, frying, baking, steaming. We also cover the use of seafood in canape-style recipes as well as main course dishes.
The equivalent of a multi-course lunch is included in this day. Your dessert is prepared ahead so that you can concentrate on the savoury fish and seafood recipes. There will be an opportunity to fillet fish [and skin fillets] individually during this day. This is available to those who wish to try this - it is not compulsory.

What our guests say about this course.............
Hi Sarah, We would both like to thank you for a really enjoyable day. We loved your personalised approach & appreciated the hands on aspect of the course - it was more than we expected & we thoroughly enjoyed it. Please keep us informed of future courses - especially knife skills. Kind regards, Michelle & Paul [May 2008]
I have taken three priceless things from this course; confidence, knowledge and inspiration. The course eqipped me with the confidence to cook any fish, I have started trying fish that wasn't even on the course! A massive amount of knowledge was gained, much of what went beyond fish, such as tasting and the different intensity of flavours of produce such as lemon and chillies. Most of all, I have been inspired to cook fish all the time, I have started eating 4-5 portions a week! Abdulkadir [May 2008].
Hi Sarah. Thank you very much for the course on Friday I thoroughly enjoyed it. I found the hands on element extremely useful and the continued interaction with you and the other attendees made it even more enjoyable I also liked the fact there were small numbers attending made it seem a very personal experience. Your tips on how to do various things / what oils to cook them in and why as well as the way things should be cooked was great! Thanks again. Dave Burchnall [May 2008]
I have to admit to being a bit nervous when I arrived at Sarah's house but the warm and enthusiastic welcome I received put me at ease and set the tone for the day. The atmosphere was relaxed and Sarah was an inspiring teacher. It's a very hands on course with everyone mucking in and helping. I felt I could ask Sarah anything and have a go at everything. The recipes were clear and very tasty nothing to complicated. One thing which really struck me was the fantastic organisation which had gone into the day we were never just standing about wondering what to do everything we need was ready for us and Sarah's partner Jon was a dab hand at the washing up. Thanks for a lovely day and some amazing recipes which I have already made at home. From Helen [May 2008]
Hello Sarah. I thoroughly enjoyed the course on Saturday and congratulations to you for putting together a varied and interesting course. I certainly am inspired by what I have learned and this will stand me in good stead. Will get onto your web site as soon as I have a moment to book a further course with you.......Many thanks to you (ably supported by Jon). From David [who was given this cookery course as a Christmas present]
Hi Sarah. Just to let you know that I had a fantastic time on Saturday on the fabulous fish course. Thank you for being so patient - I had never cooked fillets of fish from scratch before - let alone fillet the fish myself! You have given me a greater understanding of the importance of fresh fish, and how to identify fresh fish, as well as some really easy- yet tasty recipe ideas that can be easily achieved - even to the complete novice. I still can hardly believe that we managed to cook and eat all 7 courses during the day! The fish recipe pack with all the ingredients and list of places to buy the equipment used on the day that you gave to us all at the end of the day will be handy to recreate all the lovely dishes for my friends and family. I shall definitely be booking future courses with you. ( hint - hint to my husband for Christmas or birthday presents!) Kind Regards Sharon M Langsdale [May 2008]
