Amazing experience! You get to learn all about preparing fish, from start to finish and get ti taste some great courses. On top of that there is a surprising amount of educational value about the sea and sea life included. 10/10 would do again
We had an amazing time preparing a variety of seafood dishes. We learned great new cooking techniques and loved hearing the inspiring story of the Fonda family. Highly recommended!
Excellent food. The cook was marveolous, a remarcable experience.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ This workshop was an amazing experience from start to finish. Irena was incredibly welcoming, knowledgeable, and passionate about Mediterranean cuisine and sustainable seafood. She took the time to explain not only how to prepare the dishes, but also the importance of choosing local and responsibly sourced fish. The workshop was hands-on, engaging, and easy to follow, regardless of cooking experience. I learned a lot of useful techniques and tips that I can use at home, and the food we prepared was absolutely delicious. What made the experience truly special was Irena's enthusiasm and the personal touch she brought to the workshop. It felt much more than just a cooking class—it was an opportunity to learn about local culture, seafood traditions, and the connection between food and the sea. I highly recommend this workshop to anyone visiting the area who enjoys cooking, seafood, or simply wants a unique and memorable experience. Thank you, Irena, for a wonderful day and for sharing your knowledge and passion with us! 🌟🐟🍽️
Irena's dedication to the sea, the environment and the produce we worked with is truly remarkable and takes this experience to the next level. I've always been somewhat apprehensive when it came to handling fish but through this workshop I gained knowledge that empowered me to venture into cooking with fish more. Did I mention that the workshop took place under a pine tree by the sea? The authentic surroundings made the time stand still while we worked on our food which turned out absolutely delicious. Loved every minute of this experience
We had a wonderful experience at this master class about fish and the farm. We learned so many new and fascinating facts — it was both educational and inspiring. Everything was beautifully arranged, very tasty, and presented with genuine hospitality. The atmosphere felt warm, kind, and truly home-like. What impressed us most were the many unique insights, as our host - Irena is a real professional who shared her knowledge with passion. Highly recommended!
At Fonda we had the chance to organise our team building with Revestum d.o.o. and it was hands down one of the best experiences we could have imagined. Beautiful atmosphere, very informative and above all, an extremely tasty experience!
An unforgettable experience! In June, I took part in a cooking class at the Fonda Fish Farm with friends – a day that will stay with us for a long time. We filleted fresh fish, learned a lot about marine life and ocean conservation, and then prepared our own fish dish and sashimi under pine trees. The atmosphere was wonderfully relaxed, the ambience unique. Particularly noteworthy is the warm support from the owner, who took care of us with a lot of commitment. It was perfect all around – educational and every euro wet, enjoyable and connected with a lot of joy.
The sincerity and authenticity of Erina and her husband about organic, respectful, sustainable fish farming is impressive. They are a wealth of information about the sea, fish, and cooking…and were so unassuming! And, they are paying it forward teaching groups of kids, providing team building, etc. What they are providing is nothing short of amazing. We can all learn from them. During the few hours there, we learned the fish farming process while out on the boat; how to tell if a fish is fresh at the outside, natural “classroom”; how to filet a fish and recipes for baking them; and then making our own dinner with the fish. Absolutely fabulous people and experience. Thanks!!!
Dear Rebecca, thank you so much for the visit and for this great review. Hope you will use the recipes that you learned also at home and hope we will have a chance to meet again. I wish you a safe return back home.
