Full course details
This is a day for seafood lovers who are looking to build more confidence in choosing, preparing, and cooking a range of dishes using fish and shellfish.
We'll take a look at seasonality, what to look for in terms of quality when buying seafood, and introduce beautiful accompaniments that complement all those fresh flavours. This is a day for asking questions and getting to grips with how to work around different types of fish and shellfish as well as understanding how to make quick substitutions. We'll bring together a variety of contrasting dishes that you'll be able to whip up at home again, focusing on key cooking techniques and methods that help bring out the best in seafood.
As with all our one day courses, sit down to a wonderful lunch with a couple of well deserved glasses of wine.

"Expert teaching"
This is a new fish course at Dublin Cookery School covering the full range of both fish and shellfish. It is professionally delivered, with expert teaching and support that makes the day fun and informative. The hands-on sessions are engaging and practical and the recipes are ones you’ll use. The addition of Scotty the fishmonger was excellent with insider knowledge and infectious enthusiasm.

Frequently asked questions
- Should I eat something before I come?
-
On all our courses you will be eating the dishes you prepare in the hands-on session and everyone generally leaves us well-fed. Bear in mind that it takes time to whip up what we've planned and we recommend you eat something before you arrive at the school. All food cooked in the school is intended to be eaten on the premises.
- What level of cooking experience do I need?
-
The beauty of how we design all of our courses is that anyone of any level can join us. While someone new to the kitchen will find support as they manoeuvre through new techniques, the more seasoned cooks in our group will thrive on all the pointers we offer for further improvement. Our course material is layered and we know how to quickly adapt to a moving room. Constant, open-ended learning is one of the things we love the most about being in the kitchen and our tutors' enthusiastic teaching style and patience is a testament to that.
- What if I have a food allergy or dietary restrictions?
-
If you suffer from a severe nut, egg, dairy, seafood, wheat allergy or coeliac disease, please contact us before booking and we'll be able to confirm whether or not a specific course menu is adaptable. Certain course themes may not be adaptable in order to stay true to the course brief. Where we can accommodate a dietary requirement the curriculum for other students will remain the same as the original.
You must bring an Epi-pen. If your food allergy is airborne, due to the wide range of course themes and events that we host, our environment is not safe for you. Please note that while every care will be taken to provide a safe and enjoyable cooking experience for all students, there is always the risk of cross-contamination.
- What if I can't make it to a course or dining event that I've booked?
-
If you cannot make a course that you have booked, you are more than welcome to send someone in your place (18 years or older). Just give us a call with the name change and we'll take good care of them. If this can't be arranged and you need to cancel your place, please take a look at our our full Terms & Conditions, go to https://dublincookeryschool.ie/terms to see what rules apply to you.
- Is there an age requirement?
-
All of our regular courses are designed for adults. The minimum age for someone coming on their own is 18 years. If someone younger is joining us, they must be accompanied and booked on with an adult. Please note that our course fees apply to each attendee, regardless of age.
Our Growing Gourmet and 1 Week Essential Skills for TY courses are for teenagers only.
- What is parking like in the area?
-
Metered parking can be found right outside the school and on surrounding streets Monday-Saturday from 8.00-19.00.
