Discover how to transform one of America’s most underrated fish into a delicious, sustainable meal!
In this hands-on cooking class, you’ll learn how to properly clean, prep, and cook Blue Catfish—a mild, flaky fish that’s quickly gaining popularity in home kitchens and restaurants across the country.
Guided by expert chef David Murray, you’ll explore several cooking techniques while also learning about the ecological impact of Blue Catfish on the Chesapeake Bay. Cooking with this invasive species isn’t just tasty—it’s a meaningful way to support the health of local waterways.
What to Expect:
By the end of the class, you’ll have the skills and confidence to turn your next catch (or purchase) into a flavorful, restaurant-quality dish.
You’ll leave with practical kitchen know-how, a deeper appreciation for Blue Catfish, and a fresh perspective on sustainable seafood. The class includes a tour of our facilities and a shared lunch featuring the day’s creations.
