THURSDAY THE 29TH OF SEPTEMBER

 DRY AGEING FISH MASTERCLASS 

You've probably heard of ageing beef and curing pork into the art of charcuterie, however  you may not be aware of another protein that can be aged to texture and flavor perfection: fish. While the aging process for fish is typically much shorter than that for meat, 24 hours versus three weeks, , allowing it to rest before cooking or serving it gives fish a more toothsome texture and deeper, richer flavor.

To learn  techniques and recipes on how to preserve fish and dry fish techniques and  why it's so beneficial, we turned to chef Manoel Crisanto. He is happy to share with you all his knowledge and experience. So let's get together, taste, learn and exchange. Book your slot asap as there will be limited space to 50 places only.
