Mr Hildrew Becomes the Head of Fish for Exciting Competition

Mr Hildrew recently delivered an exciting cooking demonstration to a Year 8 class, showcasing how to prepare a delicious dish of Roasted Salmon with Lemon and Coriander Couscous. The session was part of the National Head of Fish competition run by the Fish Heroes programme, which encourages young people to learn about cooking and enjoying seafood in a sustainable way.

During the demonstration, students were able to watch the preparation process step-by-step and picked up a range of useful cooking tips along the way. From seasoning the salmon to preparing the couscous, the class gained practical insights into how simple ingredients can be turned into a delicious and healthy meal.

The reaction from students was overwhelmingly positive. Many rated the dish “10/10,” with one student describing it as “banging.” Another student admitted they didn’t think they liked salmon before the session but discovered they actually enjoyed it after trying the dish.

The demonstration not only introduced students to new flavours but also helped build confidence around trying and preparing seafood.

A big thank you goes to Mr Hildrew for giving his time, energy and enthusiasm to inspire the class. We now have our fingers crossed for success in the competition, where the prize is £100 worth of fish for the school.
