Yesterday, 3rd April, the fourth edition of the Iceland Cod Cooking Schools Competition was held at the Escuela Superior d’Hosteleria de Barcelona (ESHOB), an initiative in which Iceland Seafood collaborates. Sixteen schools from different Spanish regions competed to develop the best cod recipe of the year created and made by their students.
The winning dish
The winner, Bryan Quintero, a student of the Higher Technical Cycle in Cuisine Management at the CETT in Barcelona, surprised the jury with his proposal ‘Journey to Iceland’: a reinterpretation of elements of Icelandic cuisine accompanying a low-temperature cod with Plokkfiskur, a typical Icelandic cod stew, and cod skin soufflé.
The jury was made up of:
Xavi Sáez, from Iceland Seafood Ibérica
Carlota Claver, chef and ambassador of the competition
Meritxell Siurana, president of the Gremi de Bacallaners de Catalunya (Catalan Codfish Producers’ Guild).
Christina Altozano, director of Elle Gourmet Magazine
Ísak Aron Jóhannsson, the captain of the Icelandic culinary team and chef at Mulakaffi
Recognition of young talent
From Iceland Seafood, we congratulate Bryan Quintero and all the participants for demonstrating an excellent level. With each edition, the CECBI reaffirms its commitment to promoting young talent and encouraging innovation in traditional gastronomy.
