Set yourself up with a cod. A whole cod. And a knife. A sharp knife! A few hours later, go home with some lovely fillets for the grill or the sauté pan, bones and head for fish broth and a newfound confidence in working with whole fish. We’ll be breaking down a number of local fish species and discussing nose-to-tailfin uses for fish. Ready? Knives up!   PRICE: $50  Email to RSVP an get more information: slowfoodeastbay@gmail.com
