Food Tech Receive Free Mussels

We were so fortunate to be one of the 200 schools selected to receive 8kg of fresh, rope-grown mussels, free for our students to prepare and cook, thanks to the amazing Fish Heroes Programme! 🦪🌊 This experience has been invaluable, especially for those who had never tried mussels before – many likely wouldn’t have if it wasn’t for this opportunity. Now students know how to de-beard, clean, and cook them in a delicious tomato & garlic sauce! 🍅🧄

A huge thank you to Offshore Shellfish for their incredible generosity and to the Food Teachers Centre FISH Hero Programme for organizing it all! 🙌

Today, Mr Edwards worked with our Year 10 & 11 hospitality and catering students to create a small selection of mussel dishes. Many students were trying mussels for the first time, and it was fantastic to see them so curious and excited to try something new! 😋
