If seafood is on the top of your list and you want to know the tricks about cooking it … come with us!
Sydney Seafood School is a purpose built teaching facility designed to educate the general public, commercial chefs, commercial cooks and seafood buyers and handlers in all aspects of seafood cookery and handling.
It was created by Sydney Fish Market to promote the wide variety of seafood available in NSW and to give Sydney's consumers the skills and knowledge to cook with new and different species.
Classes feature product that appears regularly on the auction floor and promote the full range of species available at Sydney Fish Market.
Sydney Seafood School boasts a diverse range of classes, from a course in the fundamentals of seafood cookery to courses specialising in your favourite ethnic cuisines. We will be doing the Seafood BBQ class which is extremely popular and particularly a good one for boys to get into.
