Slow Fish at Lake Weissensee

This also explains the surprise that Toque chef Hannes Müller from the gourmet hotel "Die Forelle" has in store for you at his Slow Fish Workshop. Even if the probability of getting a real Weissensee wild fish like the whitefishes into the net is high, the fish can also come from the near-natural fish farm to the kitchen. There, the chef will show you the most diverse ways of preparing (wild) fish. Skin-fried, slow-cooked, poached or marinated raw – all parts of the fish are always processed in the best possible way without leaving any waste. The hobby chefs can enjoy a finger food sample of all the cooking methods in the kitchen.
