COOKING UP WILD TREATS: Why TPW collaborates with 
Central Market to offer wild game and fish cooking 
classes…up next, on Passport to Texas.

This is Passport to Texas

Every other month, Texas Parks and Wildlife teams up 
with Central Market Cooking Schools statewide to offer 
classes on wild game and fish cookery. 

The next class is Tuesday, March 13.

Why do we do it? The reason is multi-faceted. We want to 
introduce folks to the wide variety of healthy, sustainable 
and delicious native proteins available in Texas. 

We also want to let people know that hunting and fishing 
needn’t be scary, difficult or costly. Plus, if you want to 
know where your food comes from, there’s no doubt 
when you harvest it yourself.

And, of course, we want to let everyone know how TPW 
works to conserve and manage species and habitat 
throughout the state for all Texans. That’s why in each 
class we have a TPW representative on hand to talk about 
the agency and answer your questions. 

The March 13th Central Market / TPW fish and game 
cooking class takes place in Austin, Houston, San Antonio, 
Dallas, Fort Worth, Plano and Southlake. 

This month’s menu: Crawfish Etouffee with Bacon; 
Roasted Prosciutto-wrapped Red Fish with Basil-Parsley 
Pesto; and Venison & Bacon Sausage with Red Pepper & 
Rosemary.
