SEAFISH AND THE FOOD STANDARDS AGENCY LAUNCHES DVID
WHEN you’re officially the best seafood chef in the country, everyone wants to know the secrets of your kitchen.
Film stardom, on the other hand, is less expected – but even that is now all in a day’s work for National Seafood Chef of the Year, Rob Green.
Rob, chef/owner of Green’s Restaurant & Bistro in Whitby, North Yorkshire, has just played host to a visiting film crew making a DVD aimed at aspiring chefs.
The new film, made for Seafish and the Food Standards Agency in Scotland, is an update on a previous version which now takes account of recent research. The DVD shows chefs how to safely and correctly handle seafood and includes Rob demonstrating skills such as shucking scallops.
Rob also demonstrates two recipes on the video – steamed Scottish hand-dived scallops with sesame oil and garlic, and grilled hand-dived scallops with parmesan, pesto and cured ham.
Rob’s renowned menus at Green’s mix the classic and the innovative, with dishes including Whitby turbot with langoustines, fennel bahji and curried hollandaise, and Whitby sea bass with smoked mashed potato, steamed mussels and queens and broccoli tempura.
The educational DVD in which he now stars, will be released in Scotland in April this year, and is aimed at dive clubs, established chefs in hotels and restaurants throughout Scotland, and trainee chefs in Scottish catering and training colleges. It will also be used as part of Seafish’s in house company training programme.
Information from the film will also be posted on the Seafood Training Academy website at www.seafoodacademy.org
