Padstow Seafood School

Send to a friendsend

Padstow Seafood SchoolRick Stein is somewhat misleadingly labelled a ‘Celebrity Chef’. In fact he runs four restaurants, a delicatessen, a patisserie, a seafood cookery school and a 33-bedroom hotel in the small fishing port of Padstow. He has developed these with his former wife Jill over the last 30 years into a destination attraction, which means that the Seafood Restaurant is booked many months in advance.

Besides having written nine popular cookbooks, Rick Stein has made eight BBC TV cooking series which have been sold internationally. His passion is still for seafood. As he says: “Nothing is more exhilarating than fresh fish simply cooked.”. The daily bounty of perfectly fresh fish brought in by local fishermen has contributed to the success of Rick’s Seafood Restaurant in Padstow.

Classes take place in the relaxed friendly atmosphere of the Padstow Seafood School. This Cornwall attratction overlooks the harbour and the estuary. 1,2,4 & 6 day courses are available, from April til October. Instruction and cooking takes place in the morning, leading up to self-cooked lunch. In Rick’s words,” My vision for the Padstow Seafood School was to run a place where I enjoyed cooking... Almost without realising it (pupils) will cover it all from filleting a plaice to stir frying squid, braising brill to steaming sea bass.”
