Recent Course Feedback:

Fraser, I thought I should contact you and let you know how pleased I was with the fish skills course I recently attended.
I have always loved to eat shellfish, particularly Crab. To now be able to dispatch it humanely and cook it for myself is great.
Whilst I thought I knew the basics of filleting fish I must admit to avoiding flatfish. No problem with them now though.
I was also pleased that all the ingredients we used were local produce. To be honest they were so local I was worried we would have to pick our own salad and veg.
You made some fantastically tasty dishes from our prepared fish and shellfish and there was so much of everything, I had a job to do it justice. It was much more fun than dining out in a top seafood restaurant and for the amount I ate, it was a whole lot cheaper.
Please be assured that I will be joining you on some of your other courses.
Regards, Nicholas Harris

A very pleasant day with a smaller group I found it easier to socialise with other members. I also felt able to ask questions. Fraser is very friendly and his teaching skills are easy to understand. I would suggest this course to friend's and family, and would love to attend other courses. Lucy Rybamk.

A very sociable course with a good balance of hands on cooking and demonstration. Thanks Fraser.
