Dunington's scrapbox, which is in the 2025 Fish & Chip Takeout final, encourages people to try British fish for this Valentine's Day (February 14th) chippy tea.
I recommend reading:
Owner Aman Dosey said: Given the huge amount of trust in local chippies, it is important that we are always on the forefront of changing our clients' dietary habits.
“As most people get their first taste of fish in the UK, we need to be more ambitious about what we have to offer for the future of the industry.
“When rising costs of doing business make everything even more uncertain, this campaign gives us the opportunity to support local fishermen and celebrate what makes the industry special.
“Fish and Chips has always brought joy when people need a pleasant meal to lift their spirits, even in the depths of winter. So customers have the opportunity to try new menu items from the UK's oceans. I look forward to being able to offer this to you.”
COD continues to be one of the top five imported species in the UK, but prices continue to rise amidst the global supply disruption as a result of Russia's invasion of Ukraine.
The National Fish Freeze Federation has partnered with Seafood Cornwall to launch a national campaign to select Cornish with Chippies.
“The National Federation of Fish Slayers (NFFF) President Andrew Crook said:
“As global supply disruption continues to affect the availability and costs of imported fish, the story of fish and chips is a reminder of the importance of celebrating what we have in our homes.
“By trying new sustainable British-grown species like Cornish Rock Salmon, we are working towards a circular economy, supporting local fishermen, and providing for generations to come. We continue to gather people together.”
Meanwhile, as previously reported in the press, Haxby's Millers Fish and Chips has two employees awarded the National Fish and Chip Awards. Abigail Barker and Scott Kendrew are among the 12 finalists.
Additionally, Sabaskai from Stamford Bridge has been nominated for Fish and Chip's Newcomer of the Year, with C's from Selby taking part in training.
