Seafood lovers, it is time to roll up those sleeves and get cooking!
Ocean Jewels is launching its first interactive seafood cooking class at Makers Landing in Cape Town, bringing together locally caught fish, hands-on cooking and a little appreciation for the people who bring fresh seafood to the table.
Taking place on Thursday, 22 October 2026, at the V&A Waterfront, the workshop invites guests to spend an evening learning, cooking and eating in a relaxed setting.
- Rather than simply sitting down to a seafood meal, participants will get involved in preparing the food themselves, making it an appealing experience for anyone keen to build their confidence in the kitchen. The event also shines a spotlight on locally caught fish and the fishers behind the catch. It is an opportunity to connect the seafood on the plate with its origins, while discovering more about preparing fresh fish.
One of the interesting elements of the Ocean Jewels cooking class is that the menu will be guided by what is fresh and available closer to the event. Instead of working from a fixed selection of dishes announced weeks in advance, the seafood and menu will reflect the catch available at the time.
At R790 per person, the experience includes an interactive evening of seafood cooking, learning and eating. Guests should arrive at 18:00 for an 18:30 start, with the workshop taking place at Makers Landing, V&A Waterfront. The class is limited to just 30 guests, keeping the experience small and hands-on. Those keen to join can book their places directly through the Ocean Jewels website.
For anyone who loves seafood but would enjoy spending a little more time on the cooking side of the kitchen, this is an opportunity to learn something new, celebrate local fishers and enjoy the results. With fresh fish leading the menu and a limited number of places available, Ocean Jewels is giving Cape Town seafood enthusiasts a good reason to get cooking this October.
