Dirk and Terry's Cooking Classes

For the So-fish-ticated Gourmet

and all other piscivorous people

Our goal is to promote the health and taste benefits of cooking fish and seafood at home. Fish is easy and we want to prove it to you!

Want to know how to grill, saute or bake? Want to know how to roll sushi? Want to know how to make cevice or tartare? Have a question on how to cook a certain fish? Need an quick and easy dinner party dish?

If you answered YES to at least one of these questions, then give the pros at Dirk's Fish a call and we will guide you.

Dirk and Terry Fucik are a husband and wife team that use

their shared expertise to teach the classes.

We are both self made chefs who both cook and experiment with lots of different dishes and ingredients(Terry is an awesome cook and culinary genius). We try to focus on easy to prepare and tasty dishes using only the very best ingredients. All in a friendly and casual atmosphere with small classes. Fish and seafood is what we do best with various ethnic flairs thrown in, especially Cuban/Hispanic.

Fish is the original fast food and we specialize in showing you why!

Our classes are B.Y.O.B.

We encourage you to bring a bottle of you favorite wine,

a friend, a date, your mate and make a night of it!

You will walk away full of good food, good company and all the recipes we demonstrate that evening.

Our classes are held at the shop after hours.
