Are you eager to master the art of cooking fish and seafood? Discover the little-known secrets behind crafting the finest seafood dishes in an environment that mirrors their natural habitat – literally. Under pine trees, right by the sea, in the enchanting setting of the Fonda Fish Garden, a stone's throw away from the Sečovlje Salt Pans, you'll participate in a four-hour workshop. Within a small group, you'll prepare various fish and seafood delicacies, gaining comprehensive knowledge to become an expert in seafood preparation.
Join the Mediterranean cooking workshop of Irena Fonda, at which you will gain knowledge and skills in cooking seafood dishes and enjoy the culinary art right by the sea.
It all starts with quality and fresh ingredients. And where could fish and seafood be fresher than directly by the sea? Irena Fonda knows well how to recognise the fresh gifts of the sea and how to cook them in the best way. As a biologist, she will also be able to tell you some more about fish, especially about sea bass, to which they pay a lot of attention at their fish farm. Once you've learned the basics, you'll roll up your sleeves, learn how to properly clean and fillet a fish, and then spend four hours creating exquisite fish and seafood dishes. In a pleasant ambience under the pine trees by the sea, you will cook fish soup, carpaccio, sashimi and raw fish tartare, an appetiser made from smoked sea bass, mussels or other seasonal warm appetisers and fish dishes the Fonda way.
This experience will inspire you to prepare seafood dishes. Your next garden party will have the aroma of delicious seafood, olive oil and be filled with memories from the Fonda Fish Garden!
The meeting point is at our small fish farming port at Seča 142, 6320 Portorož (on the left at the end of the Saint Jernej "Sveti Jernej" channel on the border of the national park of the Piran Salina.
