Market tour & Fish Cooking Class
Dive into the ocean’s bounty with our exclusive fish and seafood cooking class in San Sebastián.
In the Basque Country, fish is one of the most widely used ingredients, reflecting our deep connection with the sea. This class is the perfect way to discover Basque gastronomy through one of its star ingredients.
This unique 5-hour experience starts with a guided tour of the local market in San Sebastián, where the freshest fish arrives every Tuesday. Accompanied by our expert chef, you’ll learn how to handpick the finest and freshest specimens while discovering the local and seasonal varieties that will elevate your dish to a true culinary masterpiece. Our school is deeply committed to sustainability, sourcing ingredients from small suppliers and using seasonal products to ensure maximum freshness and environmental responsibility.
After selecting the ingredients, we return to our cooking school—the best-equipped in San Sebastián—where you will clean and prepare the fish. Under the guidance of our chefs, you’ll master the techniques needed to cook fish and seafood like a true professional. At the end of the class, you’ll savor the dishes you’ve created, perfectly paired with a selection of the finest local wines.
The class menu varies depending on the season, ensuring each experience is unique and showcases the best of what the sea and land have to offer. Here’s a sample menu you might cook:
- Anchovies
- Seasonal seafood
- Seafood rice
- Kokotxas in green sauce
- Special Mimo Basque gateau with seasonal fruit

Want to visit the market?
Proximity and seasonality! We cannot forget those two values in gastronomy. That’s why we have three different cooking courses where we visit the market. If you are not a huge fan of fish, check out these courses, where we also visit the market, but focus on other aspects.
