Fish and Shellfish Extravaganza Opening Oysters

Wow, what a fantastic day we had at cookery school today. The kitchen looked like a mini fish market and today’s three guests Mike, Tracy and Simon couldn’t wait to get started.

Fish and Shellfish Extravaganza Flat Fish Filleting

We spent the morning preparing lobster for lunch along with spicy cous cous and made a fabulous bisque with the left over claws and shells.

Fish and Shellfish Extravaganza Fish Filleting

There were lessons on filleting trout and lemon sole, oyster tasting which was a first for Tracy and Simon, how to cook the perfect tuna steak and a wonderful moules mariniere which didn’t make it to the ‘take home’ tubs!

Fish and Shellfish Extravaganza Oysters

Our three fish fiends were also treated to a demonstration of pan seared scallops and cooked their own battered scampi.

If you would like to join us for a day of fish and shellfish cookery then visit the website and choose a date. We’re looking forward to meeting you.

Nigel Brown and Helen Philpott 

Hull City Centre is set to host its 2nd 3 day Global Food Festival from the 22nd- 24th August 2008. With a main event stage, marquees and markets as well as a complete programme of entertainment, there really will be something for everyone!

Nigel will be demonstrating fabulous fish dishes in conjunction with The Yorkshire & Humber Seafood Group over all 3 days. Celebrity chef and host of BBC2’s Ready Steady Cook, Ainsley Harriott, will also be taking to the main stage on the Saturday of the festival, creating mouth-watering dishes and sharing expert hints and tips.

Last year’s event proved to be huge success with around 100,000 extra visitors flocking to the centre of Hull to grab a taste of the action. This year’s line-up of chefs, exhibitors, demonstrators and stall holders promises to be just as impressive, showcasing the best in local produce and global cuisine.

For the duration of the festival, the centre of Hull will be transformed into a bustling hub of activity with several key locations hosting markets, demonstrations, speciality produce and, of course, giving away free samples!

The festival offers a great time for all the family in the run up to the August bank holiday, with the markets providing a range of products from around the world and a series of events on the main stage that are just too good to miss!
