  • Seafood 101

    Fun class. Was scared to cook fish before- feel confident I can cook a lobster, grill or poach a fish AND make my own salad dressing ( the salad was delicious)!
  • Seafood 101

  • Seafood 101

    Chef Hans was very thorough, personable and he made the event fun. His assistant was lovely. The menu selection was lovely. The only question I had was How to choose the best whole fish & seafood at Fulton Market. Hans did mention they do give a tour at 1:00 2:00 a.m.? He mentioned the market opens at 4 or 5 a.m. Would love to get a tour where the bset chefs buy their supply daily.
