Fish Masterclass
Take the fear out of preparing and cooking fish with this confidence-boosting workshop that celebrates the simple taste of beautiful, fresh fish.
Let us show you how to choose the freshest fish, and give you the knowledge, skills and confidence to prepare and cook fish in your own kitchen.
We will teach you how to clean, descale, fillet, and pin-bone fish, as well as use a variety of methods such as baking, braising, poaching and pan-frying to cook your fish to perfection. You will also learn how to make fresh fish stock and use it to make delicious accompanying sauces.
While the type of fish may change according to availability, you can expect to make dishes such as:
Sea bass with crispy skin, piperade, and crisp serrano ham
Braised salmon with hoisin glaze, oriental mushrooms and ginger
Roast cod with green chermoula
sea bass meuniere, capers, prawns and parsley (demonstration)
Braised sole, salmon and prawn mouselline, shallots, tomato and dill (demonstration)
At lunch, we’ll stop to eat what we have made in the morning and share a glass of wine while we chat with our fellow foodies on the course. There may be leftovers to take home, so please bring Storage containers.

A fantastic patient teacher..
Fish Masterclass
Spent a great morning at the Rutland Cookery School today learning how to cook fish!! Robin is a fantastic, patient teacher, especially with the faint hearted!! Learned how to pan fry a freshly fillet Mackerel and serve it with smoked Kale, garlic, fresh ginger, chilli and spring onions. Then learned how to poach a smoked haddock fillet and serve it with with a Beurre Monte sauce, leeks and a wonderful wonderfully delicious egg yolk!!!!!
Would highly recommend the cookery school!!!!
Can’t recommend Robin and Rutland Cookery School highly enough!
Fish Masterclass
Had a magnificent day on the fish masterclass. Covered a lot in one day and ate some great dishes that we had prepared under Robins expert guidance. The atmosphere was superb with good humour and it was all well paced. Can’t wait to try out some of the recipes again at home and browse the website to choose my next course. Can’t recommend Robin and Rutland Cookery School highly enough. Superb!
