On Friday 28 September the Pietrarsa railway museum in Naples hosted the competition for young chefs, promoted by the Norwegian Seafood Council. And the protagonist? His majesty the stockfish.

For the occasion, an exceptional panel of judges: Paolo Barrale, honorary president of the CHIC – Charming Italian Chef association, Lorenzo Cogo, Franco Favaretto and Trym Eidem Gundersen. The competition was presented by Francesca Romana Barberini, who introduced the four finalists, ready to win over the judges with a stockfish-based recipe.

The chefs alternated on the GICO cookers to create their own interpretation of the prince of the northern seas, of which Italy is still one of the key export markets from Norway.

Once the preparation time is over, the judges are ready to taste the dishes. The best stockfish-based recipe is that of John Mark Nanit Catamco of the Ristorante Da Aurelio (Passo Giau) of Chef Luigi Dariz.

GICO congratulates the winner and all the participants for creativity, technique and professionalism!
