​Year 6 visited Billingsgate to take part in a Fish to Food Course awarded at the Tower Hamlets Healthy Lives event.

​A fishmonger introduced the variety of fish species available and demonstrated how fish is prepared ready for cooking. We were able to identify the different parts of a fish.

​We got a chance to remove the bones and skin.

​We learnt how to remove a prawns head and had a go at it for the first time!

​We prepared a selection of recipes and understood the benefits of eating seafood. We were amazed by the ease and speed of cooking fish.

​Here are some pictures of the dishes we prepared. 

Fish topped baguettes

Grilled salmon

Cheesy plaice and prawn gratin

​We also enjoyed a tasting session of all the dishes.
