Learn the fundamentals of seafood preparation — Southeast Asian-style! Join Montreal’s renowned Nonya Chef Nantha Kumar for a culinary trip through the Malaysian culinary tradition.

Participants will learn practical kitchen skills like how to clean crab, fish and clams, as well as traditional Southeast Asian techniques for utilizing tamarind and coconut.

  • Learn how to safely and humanely handle and prepare live crabs and razor clams which are then lightly steamed and served with fresh chilli sambal.

 

Steamed Fish with Ginger and Shallots:
