Ep 22. Wales - Fish

In this episode of Great British Menu, the focus is on showcasing Wales' finest fish dishes. Three experienced chefs will compete in a series of challenges to secure their place in next week's final, where they will have the chance to produce a dish for the banquet at Cardiff Castle.

The first challenge is the Starter, where the chefs must create a dish that represents Welsh coastal heritage in their own unique way. They must use ingredients that they have sourced from the surrounding sea, to create a starter that will impress not only the judges, but also diners who managed to snag a reservation at their restaurant. The pressure is on as they aim to earn their place in the final.

Next up, the chefs must tackle the Fish Course. This time, they are tasked with creating a dish that honours Welsh sea legends. The judges will be looking for a dish that has personality, taste and originality. The chefs must dig deep into their culinary toolbox to create something that is not only delicious but also unique in its own way.

For the Main Course challenge, the chefs are required to create a dish that represents the modern and progressive Welsh sea industry. This course will require a lot of creativity and ingenuity as well as a deep appreciation for the sea. The judges will be looking for something that respects the environment, while still delivering a top-notch dish.

Finally, it’s time for the Dessert course. The chefs must create a dessert that captures the essence of Welsh sea culture. They must balance the flavours well and celebrate the sea in a way that reflects the history of Wales. The judges will relish the chance to sample the creativity and the talent that will be on full display.

Throughout the episode, the judges will be on hand to provide critique and feedback to the chefs. Their guidance is crucial in helping the chefs to refine their dishes and approach the challenges in new and exciting ways.

Overall, this episode of Great British Menu will showcase some of the freshest and finest seafood that Wales has to offer. The challenges are designed to push the chefs to their limits, and only the best dishes will make it through to the final.

As always, the judges will be looking for a range of qualities, including originality, taste, presentation, and above all, the ability to do justice to Wales' rich culinary heritage. With so much at stake, the competition promises to be fierce and exciting, as the chefs strive to impress and secure their spot in the next stage of the competition.
