Sylvia explained the different parts of the fish and equipment she used to prepare the fish before letting the Year 10 students to have a go themselves with the sea bream that had been generously donated by the Weston Favell branch of Tesco. 

All the students got stuck in and managed to prepare a fillet, which they then cooked en papillote style with lemon juice, parsley and seasoning. The students thoroughly enjoyed the lesson and learnt a new skill and were then able to taste their creations.

Thank you to Sylvia and to Matt Spires, the manager of Tesco Weston Favell branch for gifting the sea bream and allowing Sylvia the time to share her expertise with the students.
