We had a fishmonger from R G Seafoods show us how to prepare and fillet a variety of different fish and shellfish species; as well as chef Simon Gray demonstrate a variety of recipes that they could be used in.  The food teachers then became the students as we had to recreate the dishes for ourselves.  It was a great opportunity for me to refresh my skills and I came away with lots of ideas and contacts.

As part of the Fish Heroes programme, I have also been successful in securing a delivery of 40 pieces of Alaskan salmon that Year 10 will be using in lessons after February half-term, when the commodity they are studying will be meat, fish, poultry and eggs.  This was only available to 250 schools across the UK, so I am busy planning how to make the most of this generous offer.
