Take your BBQ skills beyond burgers and sausages with this flavour-packed BBQ Fish & Seafood Cookery Class at The Artisans Kitchen & Cookery School in Hampshire. This relaxed, hands-on session is all about cooking beautiful seafood over fire, mastering bold marinades, and creating a feast that feels impressive but totally achievable at home.
You’ll learn how to handle, season and grill fish and seafood with confidence, exploring global flavours and clever BBQ techniques that deliver big results with minimal stress. Expect smoke, citrus, spice, plenty of tasting, and a few “oh wow, I can actually do this” moments along the way.
What you’ll learn
You’ll learn how to cook whole fish on the BBQ without fear, using banana leaves to lock in moisture and flavour. We’ll show you how to use cedar planks properly to keep salmon juicy while adding delicate smokiness. You’ll master marinades, compound butters, and grilling techniques for prawns, fish and vegetables, along with timing everything so your BBQ feast comes together effortlessly. You’ll also pick up tips on balancing rich seafood with fresh, vibrant sides.
Why you should take this class
Seafood on the BBQ can feel intimidating, but this class makes it simple, fun, and incredibly rewarding. It’s perfect if you want to impress at summer gatherings, expand your BBQ repertoire, or move beyond the usual grill classics. You’ll leave with practical skills, flavour confidence, and dishes that look restaurant-worthy but work brilliantly in a home BBQ setup.
What’s on the menu
You’ll cook Malaysian-style whole baked sea bass, marinated in aromatic spices and wrapped in banana leaves for tender, fragrant results. Cedar plank marinated salmon delivers gentle smokiness and perfect texture every time. BBQ’d tiger prawns are finished with chilli, lime and coriander butter for a punchy, crowd-pleasing dish.
To complete the feast, you’ll prepare shaved fennel, rocket, lemon and pecorino salad, Cajun-spiced grilled sweet potatoes, a herby puy lentil, goat’s cheese and tomato salad, and cooling homemade tzatziki to balance the heat.
