BESIDE THE SEA
A comprehensive day preparing and cooking local (and sustainable) fish and shellfish in the award-winning WhitePepper kitchen.
Try your hand at cleaning, scaling, filleting, pin-boning, skinning, picking, shucking, scoring and trimming. We’ll show you the techniques so that you can confidently cook from start to finish those dishes you’ve always admired.
Our proximity to the Jurassic coast and relationships with the fishermen/merchants means that we’re offered the wet fish before the London markets – at it’s very freshest, normally within 24 hours of the catch.
