Itinerary

At Irena's cooking class that takes place at Fonda Fish Garden, we will teach you everything you need to know to become an expert at preparing fish and other seafood. Amongst many skills you will learn is the tricky art of how to tell if a fish is fresh, cleaning, filleting and preparing fish, preparing delicious mussels (in season), making incredible seafood pasta, and how to safely prepare raw fish dishes (the selection of dishes may change depending on availability seasonality and other factors). The cooking class begins with a glass of local wine or chilled water with local herbs while you get initiated in the world of fish, including such essentials as how best to freeze and store your fish, and a whole host of others. At our workshop you will cook, learn, and have fun making friends in a small group - and as a perfect end to a perfect day, you will gather under pine trees to feast on a delicious gourmet seafood, followed by a sweet farewell in the form of a seasonal dessert. The class will be run by Irena, a molecular biologist, a passionate cook and an advocate of the sustainable use of the fruits of the sea.
