100% funding available for 'Get into Fishmongering' business seminar with Charlie Caisey Thursday 8th December.

Billingsgate School with the London Fish & Poultry Retail Association are now offering a 100% funded introductory seminar to anyone who wants to get into the trade and become a fishmonger. Fishmongering can be exciting and rewarding; however access into the business lacks a formal training route. This course is aimed at people who are not currently in the trade and is designed as a taster into the Seafood Industry. The day is also for people who are looking at setting up their own seafood business or for small businesses who would like to develop their staff.

Timings

6.15am - 1.30pm

Class Size: 4-8

What to Expect

Our aim is to offer a practical and motivational introduction into the basics of fishmongering. There will be 'hands on' experience preparing fish, together with an introduction to Billingsgate Market. We will also offer direct contacts with our network of companies that regularly employ staff. Places on the course will be strictly limited. The day starts with a market tour at 0630, followed by hands on knife skills for the rest of the morning. After an informal lunch (eating some of the morning's fish) there is time to discuss individual's projects in a workshop environment.

Who should attend

Attendees are usually considering becoming a fishmonger or setting up their own fishmongering business.

What you take home

During the day you will be preparing a selection of flat and round fish. Often some of this fish is cooked up as part of a simple lunch. Any fish that is left over attendees can take home.

Can I buy Fish

You can definitely buy fish during the Market visit and although we have limited freezer space we have a good fish chill to look after your fish during the course.
