Event details

Did you know that York is knee-deep in fishbones? Join us to find out how archaeological scientists use these to understand fishing in York. Watch Demo Chef Phil Leverington demonstrate how a Medieval cook would have prepared fish – and try some for yourself!  Talk to the scientists about why fishermen used to farm fish that tasted like mud and how far they went out to sea. Touch archaeological fish bones from York and take home your own colorful fish.
