Cook Your Catch
Five top chefs, a fishing trip, and an inspirational masterclass – it’s a recipe for success for Pembrokeshire Fish Week.
Bryn Williams, Mark Hix, Valentine Warner, Mitch Tonks, and Anthony Evans will all be cooking mouthwatering seafood dishes in this year’s celebrity demonstration night on 29th June 2011.
But there’s a catch - earlier in the day, they will go fishing off the South Pembrokeshire coast and they must cook their haul in the evening demonstration, whatever it may be!
'Five go Fishing - Cook your Catch' will take place at the Torch Theatre, Milford Haven. It will be presented by food writer, broadcaster and True Taste ambassador Simon Wright.
Kate Morgan, organiser of Pembrokeshire Fish Week, said the event was a real coup for the festival. "It’s going to be lots of fun, with inventive seafood cookery."
Bryn Williams is chef patron at Odette’s in Primrose Hill. Hailing from Denbigh in North Wales, Bryn has worked in some of the most prestigious kitchens in London.
Mark Hix was has opened several Hix restaurants in recent years, 
and is a renowned cookery writer. Awards include Chef of the Year 2010 (Catey’s).
Valentine Warner hosted a popular Fish Week masterclass in 2010. The presenter of BBC2’s What to Eat Now, he has written several cookery books.
Mitch Tonks is one of Britain’s foremost experts on fish and a popular contributor to Fish Week, previously hosting the Masterclass, tutored tastings and workshops.
Anthony Evans is presenter of the cookery programme Stwffio on S4C, and has been nominated best newcomer at the Welsh TV BAFTAs.
The event has been supported by South Hook, as part of its Community Relations and Investment Programme, and all profits will be donated to Pembrokeshire Action to Combat Hardship.
Pembrokeshire Fish Week 2011 will take place between 25th June and 3rd July.
