Recent reviews of Seafood Specialist Cooking Class: Step Up Your Game

  • 5/5 from Fiona Wong, attended Jul 2026: Had a fantastic time at the Seafood Specialist class. The session was well organised, hands-on, and packed with practical tips that I wouldn’t have picked up from just watching cooking videos. The instructor was knowledgeable and approachable, explaining not just the techniques but also how to choose, prepare and get the best out of different types of seafood. We cooked several dishes, and everything was fresh, delicious and achievable to recreate at home. Whether you’re a beginner or already enjoy cooking, I’d definitely recommend this class. It was a fun way to build confidence with seafood and I came away with plenty of new skills and recipe ideas.
  • 5/5 from Annabelle Morris, attended Jul 2025: Incredible! The class was so well put together and I definitely learnt a lot. The cooking school has great facilities and the trainer was so knowledgeable and went above and beyond to teach us beyond what the class required. After the class we had a sit down meal to eat our cooking. This was delicious. I’ve already used the take home recipes.
  • 5/5 from Emily Yu, attended Oct 2024: Amazing class! The teachers were very supportive and jumped in to help when needed. Demonstrations were also in depth and definitely learnt a lot from this class. Would recommend :)
  • 5/5 from Sheba McCaffrey, attended Jun 2024: Fiona was great, perfect it was a small class. And the way it was set up and run. Made it all the better. Sheba
  • 5/5 from Louise, attended Sep 2023: The overall experience was good. We got to immediately try what the teachers taught during the demonstration. They were both really helpful and went through each one of us to make sure we're not lost or anything. All the ingredients and materials were already prepared, and they have back-ups for when something goes wrong. We got to enjoy the seafood we prepared and cooked at the end which was amazing given that we just learnt the process and recipes an hour before.
  • 5/5 from Mary Farrell, attended Jul 2023: Teacher was entertaining and knowledgeable, as were the other staff members. Facility was first class and would definitely recommend to anyone.
