Cook a Fish, Give a Fish w/ Chef Youji Iwakura

Welcome to "Cook A Fish, Give A Fish". In this online cooking class, you will learn to cook delicious local seafood dishes alongside some of the finest chefs from Long Island to Rhode Island and beyond! In this unique class, fisheries experts from Eating With The Ecosystem and Cornell Cooperative Extension's Marine Program will teach you everything you want to know about the fish, the fishermen and the many benefits of choosing local seafood while expert chefs teach you how to turn fresh fish straight from the sea into fabulous meals you can share with your friends and family!

The best part is that 100% of the ticket price goes towards providing local seafood for families in need (25 meals per ticket)!

The April 4th online class will be led by Chef Youji Iwakura from Washoku Renaissance. Chef Youji will be teaching guests how to prepare Usuzukuri style sashimi with black sea bass or fluke and lemon-soy-butter pan-seared sea scallops with greens and chilis. As you plan to cook alongside Chef Youji, he suggests choosing between black sea bass and fluke for the sashimi (or choose both!) and will use sea scallops for the pan seared dish. Feel free to choose another species of fish you prefer from a variety of local seafood options from the region.

The class will be hosted virtually via Zoom from the Wulf's Fish demo kitchen and all seafood featured can be purchased at www.wulfsfish.com. Fisheries experts from Cornell Cooperative Extension's Marine Program and Eating With The Ecosystem are available to guide your seafood choice and help you source the finest local fish.
