The fish, the whole fish, and nothing but the fish. This premium cooking class will show you that cooking whole fish is easier than it looks and saves money, too! You'll handle small butterflied whole fish, you'll fillet your own medium-sized fish, and we'll show you how to handle a larger fish. We'll also teach you sustainability hacks for making stocks and oils from leftover bones.
