Mastering Fish! With Serge Madikians

While Serge Madikians masterfully prepares an assortment of dishes at his restaurant Serevan, he is especially drawn to fish.

Why? Because preparing fish requires a more detailed and delicate dialectic between the cook and the fish, and while that attention to detail is also required when preparing meats, fish is much more fragile and in many ways unforgiving.

In this demonstration Master Class, Serge will share his secrets for preparing fish using an assortment of techniques. You won’t want to miss this chance to learn these essential tips from one of our region’s most dynamic and creative chefs! Serge is also a pilot, who procures fresh fish for his restaurant from the Cape by flying there each week himself. Join us at this dynamic and delicious class.

This demonstration class is limited to 12 people.
