MasterChef Ireland

Episode Synopsis

In this programme, the five remaining MasterChef Ireland contestants take on a fishing challenge in Howth, Co. Dublin. They will be given three hours to catch fish, which must then be cooked in the kitchens of Aqua Restaurant, Howth. They are each given a hessian sack containing a different set of ingredients from which they must invent a dish using their catch. They are given 30 minutes to prep and another 30 minutes to cook the fish before serving to Dylan and Nick for judging. In day two of the task the contestants are given a Masterclass in fish cookery by the legendary John Burton Race, who Dylan credits with having taught him to cook fish. In a ninety minute Masterclass he will show the would-be Masterchefs how to cook Sole Bonne Femme with new potatoes and spinach. The contestants are then given ninety minutes to replicate this dish, before one of them is eliminated from the competition.
