Fish Camp

Learn the ins and outs of cooking with seafood in our three-day workshop.

Do you love eating seafood, but lack confidence when it comes to preparing it? You are not alone! Join us for a three-day workshop to hone your fish preparation skills in a fun and friendly environment.

Our guest teacher, Annie Seabourne, is the daughter of a fisherman and runs the cooking school My Fish Kitchen in Cornwall, England. She is passionate about her subject and loves to prepare fish in a minimalist style, to highlight their distinct flavors. Co-teacher Rosa will bring her love of the local produce to these classes, pairing seasonal vegetables — also prepared simply — with our carefully selected catch each day.

Each day will begin with a visit to the fish market, where you will learn to recognize signs of optimal freshness and choose the best of the day’s catch. We will also visit the fishing port of Cros de Cagnes, where you will see fishermen bring in their catch on small boats, just as they have for hundreds of years.

In Rosa’s Old Town kitchen, you will learn to scale, fillet and clean different types of fish, and practice a variety of preparation methods that will give you plenty of options when cooking fish at home. Each day, we will work with at least three varieties of fish and seafood.
