A smoky seafood BBQ masterclass and feast with chef Rhys Thornton.

Learn how to cook fresh kaimoana over charcoal as Chef Rhys demonstrates how to fillet fish, butterfly, and prepare whole snapper, and cook seafood over the coals. Discover flavour-building techniques - from seasoning and marinades to heat control and smoke management - plus how to match each dish with the perfect beverage.

Enjoy a relaxed, hands-on session followed by a generous three-course family-style feast, beverage matches, and take-home recipes. A must-do for seafood and BBQ lovers.

This event is part of the Flavours of Plenty Festival, an annual celebration of the Coastal Bay of Plenty’s vibrant food scene. The festival runs from 16 April to 3 May 2026.
