The Apprentice episode 4 and this year’s motley mob of business-heads were tasked with catching fish and selling it to high-end clients while also preparing it as a dish to sell on the beach in Cornwall.
An easy task?
Well, not for this lot, as you can well imagine.
While stupidity on The Apprentice is usually across the board, this week it was cute but dim Alex Short who’d clearly flushed his braincells down the toilet.

Agreed on the fish, Alex said he wanted serve up a simple classic dish. Amy suggested crab burger which they all agreed would be easy to make and popular with customers.
With the sub team – comprising Steph, Sophie and Amy – heading off to Cornwall to catch crabs, Alex, Akshay and Kathryn went to a fish market in London to select some fish to sell to corporate clients before placing an order with the team mates in Cornwall.
3. TRYING TO PLAY THE CHEF
Monkfish and plaice were team Infinity’s fish of choice and with growing confidence they rocked up to the swanky Biltmore Hotel in London to start negotiations.
