Billingsgate Seafood Training School

Fantastic experiance, very good to learn the basics of fish mongering and great lesson in preparing and cooking fish. I wish there was more shellfish prep and cooking for the price, though understandable that this must be seasonal

Absolutely fantastic course! Even better than expected. CJ, Stewart and everyone we spoke to on the market floor were lovely people, more than happy to impart knowledge. The 6am start is well worth it. CJ's enthusiasm didn't dip at all through the day. The skills and techniques learnt were set at the right level and the pace of the day was just right. Breakfast bagels were delicious as well as the varied fish lunch. I didn't expect to take so many fish home but after now cooking and eating th...

If you're considering one of their classes ... look no further! This experience far exceeded anything we could have imagined. Our bubble of 4 people chose an early start ... "Morning Catch" starting at 5:45 am! (All Covid protocols were closely adhered to) CJ and Stewart were so welcoming, genuinely caring, enthusiastic and so knowledgeable. They went above and beyond for us and are both obviously an integral part of the Billingsgate Market. Great story tellers and an authentic experience tha...

Fabulous day with CJ Jackson and other students on the "Catch of the Day 1" course. We had an extremely informative walk around Billingsgate Market learning about the Fishmongers Livery Company, the Market place and of course lots about sustainable fish and seafood. What CJ doesn't know about her subject just isn't worth knowing. After walking around the market we came back to the very well equipped training room and had a breakfast of Kedgeree with as much tea and coffee as we could drink...

I did the fillet, gut, and shuck class at the Billingsgate Seafood Training School and it was phenomenal. Ronny knew everything about the market and how to handle the fish. The whole team were so good. They started off by giving you a tour of the market. They then cook breakfast for you (kippers) before getting you started on gutting filleting everything from mackerel, to bream, to plaice, to gurnard, to crab, to oysters. They serve tea and coffee to warm up. I look forward to going back.
