“Brilliant, enjoyable and informative fish course”
A wonderful day spent learning various techniques to cook fish. I particularly enjoyed the fish prep and information about sourcing fish. John was a brilliant teacher and very knowledgeable. I would recommend to anybody who enjoys eating fish but might be nervous about cooking it.
