Demonstration: Andrej Urosevic

Andrej left a corporate job to retrain as a chef at Le Cordon Bleu Paris in 2010, successfully completing the Grand Diplôme in 2011. After graduating, his path led him to work at several Michelin-starred fish & seafood restaurants, such as the iconic Le Divellec and Les Fables de la Fontaine, both in Paris, and, finally, Germany’s foremost lobster establishment Hummerstübchen in his hometown of Düsseldorf.

The next logical step was to open a place of his own, and so Andrej’s Oyster Bar & Restaurant in Düsseldorf was born. Five years later, Andrej took the opportunity to fulfil a life-long dream and move to London.

Shortly after settling into his new environment, Andrej was awarded the Master Fishmonger Standard Advanced Tier, whilst honing his filleting skills under the auspices of the master craftsmen at the famous Fin & Flounder fishmongers. In late 2023 he became the UK's first and, for now, only Fish Sommelier, a specialised certificate, issued by the German Chamber of Commerce.
