i am travelling to bournemouth for a few days for a family visit. While i am there i feel it is a good opportunity to brush up on my butchery skills. does anybody know of a really good fishmongers that would have me observe or maybe get involved for a few days or somewhere really good to buy some seafood.

thank-you for your help. firstly we sear/render the duck to remove the fat from the breast. we marinate it vac and steam. we steam as we have have no water bath or thermoregulator. Our oven has a steamer and a digital probe so the duck is cooked perfectly to 50 degrees. for service it is popped in the oven to heat it through to mr. it is beautifully tender but the main problem we have is how long is the duck safe in the bag. When the health inspector comes what is safe? When the duck is steamed it is held in an ice bath and then stored directly in the fridge until it is needed. what would the shelf life be or would it have to be used same day. I have eaten it one week later and it has been fine.

if you sear a duck breast, marinate in a soy sauce, vaccum it and steam it to an internal temperature of 50 oc what is the health and safety regulations on this? how long can it be stored for, is 50 oc a safe internal temp will the soy marinade act as a protector? any help would be greatly appreciated.

the best i find is place basic mirepoix with water and 1 can of cider, just enough to cover your hock or whatever part. stud the ham with a few cloves and if you want add a couple of spoons of honey to the stock. its really good.

great stuff. thanks very much.any info on fish butchery

does anybody know of any websites that have demonstrations on butchery techniques and methods. does any culinary schools have demos on their websites?

add a spoonful of ascorbic acid (pure vitiamin c) and it will last longer than 2 days. it can be found in many chemists or specialty food stores online.
