3 hours Class size 1 to 10 guests    

  $195 (Afterpay & PayPal Pay in 4 available)

Indigenous Australians have been gathering and catching food from the sea for millennia. For Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, fishing not only provided sustenance but was also a cultural practice informed by ecological knowledge, passed down through generations. We're proud to showcase this history in the new Sydney Fish Market.
As part of our launch program, our First Nations Seafood Feast cooking class is hosted by chef Luke Bourke from Felons Seafood, Good Food's Young Chef of the Year 2025. This class is in collaboration with the National Indigenous Culinary Institute (NICI).
What You'll Learn:
  • Learn where to source and buy native ingredients and how to use them in your seafood cooking.
  • Understand the best way to support Indigenous-owned businesses.
  • Learn about the National Indigenous Culinary Institute, which supports young Aboriginal chefs through their apprenticeships and helps establish and support their career pathways.
Disclaimers:
  • You will be cooking at a shared workstation in a group of three or more (maximum six per bench). If you have a group of seven or more, please contact us to discuss your options.
  • We make every effort to ensure that the class and the recipes proceed as advertised. However, occasionally we may need to alter recipes, ingredients, or class format due to the availability of produce or other circumstances.
  • Recipes may contain allergens including fish, crustaceans and molluscs. Please contact us for more information.

What to bring
  • Our experiences are all-inclusive – just bring yourself and wear enclosed shoes to protect your feet, and maybe a pen to note down some insider cooking tips!
  • It's also a good idea to bring your own container in case there are leftovers to take home. (We’re on a mission to eliminate single-use plastics wherever we can!)
