Fish Friers Review
PRESIDENT’S NOTES Well we are almost halfway through the calendar year… and on the home stretch when it comes to the potato season. As you will know prices have been strong, better weather at the end of autumn last year helped get yields up a bit and helped limit the prices. Let’s hope this year the weather is a bit kinder to us. It was great to see so many shops taking part in National Fish and Chip Day again this year. This is a great initiative and a lot of work is put in behind the scenes to organise this event by NEODA. It really is a great day, a celebration of our fantastic iconic dish and above all it raises the profile of fish and chips. I attended the first ever Fish and Ships Festival in Whitby. This event was organised by Discover Yorkshire and several of the local fish and chip shops, fishermen and related businesses. The two- day festival comprised of cookery demonstrations by local chefs and restaurant owners, fish filleting demonstrations, fishermen demonstrating net making and even an angling competition. There were also some demonstrations by celebrity chefs Brian Turner and Jean Christophe Novelli. This was a fantastic event and I am sure it will grow year on year. Well done to all involved in organising it and to Seafish for supporting it, great advertising for brand fish and chips! As we go into the summer period it highlights one of the big issues we have in the industry… skills shortage. We seem to struggle to attract people into fish and chips and I think seasonal shops in tourist areas find it harder than most. We have all worked hard to smarten up the image of the industry, investing in our shops and professionalising our operations which has helped but we need be able to demonstrate to young people that fish and chips can be a great career and can be a fantastic place to gain experience which can lead onto other jobs in catering and hospitality. The NFFF’s work on T-Levels could hopefully help with this in the future. Here at the NFFF we are once again busy planning our annual event…the NFFF Ball. Tickets are available now and we would love to see you there. Look out for information further on in this issue.

NFFF QUALITY AWARD PORTAL We’ve gone from being a good to now being a great! Written by Ted Cupples, Molloy’s Fish and Chips Before applying for the Quality Award, I thought we had a great shop, so when we failed first time around, after our original inspection, it was a timely wake up call. I then realised that a lot of things we took for granted just weren’t good enough, especially if we wanted to be amongst the elite fish and chip shops who had achieved the award before us. I am especially grateful to Alan for his robustness and integrity when carrying out the assessment. Having been initially trained by Alan at the NFFF Training Hub in Northern Ireland some years ago, and being fully aware of Alan’s own standards in his shop, the award means a lot to us, knowing we were good enough to get it judged by him. Going for the award, failing, making the improvements and then achieving it, has been one of the most important and beneficial things we have done for our business. We’ve gone from being a good shop to now actually being a great shop. Even staff morale has lifted, with staff themselves proudly telling others the difference the award has made. We’ve also had so much support and good wishes from customers, which of course is also good for business. I just wanted to say thank you to all the staff at the NFFF for helping me prepare for the QA and of course the excellent press release. The press release itself brought a nice boost to our turnover this week and hopefully this will continue as the summer arrives. I would highly recommend the QA to any fish and chip shop who want to raise their game, their profile and their turnover.

FISH AND SHIPS! Fish and Ships were on the menu in Whitby as the seaside town hosted its first festival to celebrate its maritime heritage.
The two-day event in May took place all across the town and saw live cookery demonstrations, workshops, street entertainment and lots more. The festival was organised by Discover Yorkshire Coast and a number of local businesses including NFFF members Quayside, in association with Seafish. The Festival Kitchen & Fish Market The festival kitchen was set up to inspire and showcase the local produce on offer from Whitby together to help encourage more fish consumption within our daily lives. The chefs demonstrated how to prepare and cook the daily NFFF President Andrew Crook said When people think of fish and chips they instantly think of Whitby as it’s spiritual home so I couldn’t think of a better place to host the inaugural Fish and Ships Festival. It was great to see the whole town getting involved, from local residents through to local businesses which included the many fish and chip shops who serve the town 7 days a week. The festival will no doubt grow year on year and the NFFF will look forward to supporting the event.

catches with some of the coast’s award-winning seafood heroes, including Quayside Stuart Fusco and the Magpie Head Chef Paul Gildroy taking part alongside celebrity chefs Brian Turner and Jean-Christophe Novelli to name a few. Live music Well over 40 hours of free live music was on offer across the weekend for people to enjoy including sea shanties and soulful sailor’s ballads with some of the UK’s top seasingers and musicians. Reviews From the building of its boats to its multi award-winning fish restaurants, Whitby is one of the few places left in Britain where you can still experience the seafarer’s way of life from sea to shore, as it’s been for hundreds of years,” explains Janet Deacon, the festival organiser and Tourism and Corporate marketing manager for Scarborough Borough Council and area director for Welcome To Yorkshire. “Whitby was once an international maritime centre and visitors will be able to explore first-hand how today’s seafarers are building on tradition to put top quality seafood on Britain’s plates, in their own unique and sustainable way. Across the weekend, there’s also plenty of top-notch entertainment, including live music, madcap street theatre, inspired artworks, and a grand firework display.

20 YEARS AND COUNTING! Quayside, owned by Fusco’s of Whitby, marked 20 years in business at the Fish and Ships festival. To celebrate the shop set up a special ‘exhibition-style’ display showcasing the highlights of its past two decades in its restaurant on Pier Road. Quayside also sponsored the festival’s angling competition and donated a £1,000 prize which was awarded to the person that landed the heaviest single fish during a tense six hour open event. The winner, Malc Skelton, was presented the prize fund by special guest and Celebrity Chef Jean-Christophe Novelli,
customers and community, as way of thanks for their loyalty over the years. Sponsoring the angling festival and offering a fun competition for customers to take part in as a family was the ideal way for us to do just that.” The company, which marked 50 years in business in May 2018, is managed by two generations of the Fusco family, with Carol working alongside her three sons, Adrian, Stuart and Raymond and daughter, Maria.
at a ceremony held in Quayside’s restaurant on Sunday 19th May. Here, staff, entrants and spectators also raised a glass to the business reaching the impressive 20 year milestone. Stuart Fusco, Head of Quayside, comments: “The first ever Whitby Fish & Ships festival was a roaring success and a great way for us to mark what has been a fantastic 20 years in business. We would not have reached the milestone had it not been for a fantastic team of staff, who we would like to thank for their continued support.” The award winning eatery also hosted a colouring-in and spot the difference competition for children over the course of the festival, with the chance to win a family meal for four people. Stuart adds: “As a family business we feel it is important to give something back to our suppliers, partners,

SUSTAINABILITY ON THE MENU AT FISH AND SHIPS When you think of Whitby, you might think of the 199 steps that lead up to the infamous Whitby Abbey, or even the Whitby Whale Bones on the West cliff. Perhaps you’ll remember the dainty cobbled streets and its magnificent maritime culture, with charming boats docked up in the harbour. One thing you’ll certainly never forget in Whitby is the fish and chip that you’ll be sure to have. Whitby has been famous for its delicious fish and chips for many years now, with some claiming that they’re the best fish and chips in England. To celebrate everything that’s special about the Yorkshire Coast’s magnificent maritime culture (including the fish and chips) Whitby hosted its first ever Fish and Ships festival in May. Yes, you heard it right! Not just fish and chips, but fish and ships. Throughout the town, live entertainment and street theatre were on show and visitors were able to enjoy cooking demonstrations with chefs while tucking into delicious food. A key theme underlying the weekend was sustainability. After all, without fish there’s no fish and chips. During the fish and ships festival, Fish Box in Whitby teamed up with the Marine Stewardship Council to celebrate all things sustainability. Fish Box who are MSC certified, is part of the Fusco family business, an ‘express style’ fish and chip shop, with takeaway seating inside and out. Adrian Fusco, a director of the business said: “The first Fish and Ships festival was a huge success. It has been great to see so many local people involved celebrating our fishing and ship-building heritage. It feels very appropriate to celebrate the two key things that put Whitby on the historical map.” Fish Box decided to get involved in the festival in their own way, championing MSC and engaging with the Fish Box customers on where their fish supper really comes from. A display was put up inside the shop with information, posters and leaflets about the work of the MSC. Goodie bags were given to those attending the workshop and a children’s ship themed competition was running in-house for the children. Adrian said: “In a festival that celebrates fishing, it feels only right that we celebrate the future of the industry and
14
for us, the focus has to be sustainability. What better way than to work with the MSC to celebrate? “It’s been lovely to watch our customers take an avid interest in the MSC at the Fish and Ships festival, and to hear them asking questions directly was fantastic.” Being MSC certified has certainly made a difference to their business. It gives their customers assurance that the food they serve has come from sustainable source. Customers, now more than ever, are interested in food provenance, sustainability, and eco-friendly credentials. It’s important to Fishbox that they promote these benefits, such as being MSC certified, to give their customers absolute confidence in their food and operations.

ARE YOU MEETING DEMAND FOR GLUTEN FREE FISH AND CHIPS? People with coeliac disease can travel miles for safe gluten free fish and chips and Coeliac UK’s GF Accreditation symbol can help highlight that your fish and chips are exactly what they are looking for. The scheme continues to help over 3300 venues across the UK confidently cater gluten free and promote their GF business. Businesses large and small have seen an uplift in business and great PR and customer satisfaction.
• Accreditation announced via our monthly e-newsletter (goes to 40,000+ members) and via our social media channels on Facebook and Twitter (100,000+ followers)
Lorraine Arnold from the recently accredited Paignton Pier Chippy says, “Gaining the GF Accreditation has done wonders for our business. Customers are coming from far and wide and I’m receiving wonderful feedback for our great service and GF food as well as getting a great response on social media too!”
• Listed as an accredited partner on our trusted website
GF Accreditation gives you many benefits along with support and advice from the experts on gluten free. Once accredited, your business will be promoted to our gluten free community via a range of communication channels:
• A priority listing of your business on our Venue Guide (online eating out database for our Members) • Inclusion of your business on our mobile App You will also receive a free login to our online training and be able to use our trusted GF symbol on your menus, signs and other marketing materials, along with some free window stickers, to advertise to your customers that you can safely cater for their gluten free needs. Catch Fish and Chips, Ashford, received some great feedback following on from their recent accreditation, “What a super place to get your Gluten Free Fish and Chips every Wed and Sat! Yes a Saturday! Kevin, the Manager, has undertaken Coeliac UK training and gained a Coeliac UK Accreditation. They also cook GF sausages and have GF Mushy Peas. Well done to all the staff!

CELEBRATING 10 YEARS OF GLUTEN FREE PRODUCTS It’s ten years since frozen food distributor Central Foods began working with Coeliac UK as part of the company’s pledge to source and supply free-from foods for the foodservice market. In that time, Central Foods has developed and expanded its range of frozen gluten-free products available to caterers and now offers a comprehensive selection of delicious gluten-free items – both for takeaways and sit-down restaurants. One of its most recent launches is the Golden Valley Foods gluten-free range of chicken products, featuring chunks, goujons, Southern fried goujons and chicken fillets-Italiano, a unique and delicious centre-of-the-plate item that will guarantee repeat custom! All are made from 100% chicken breast meat, are moist and tasty, and can be deep fried, oven baked or cooked in a combi oven from frozen in minutes – providing something that’s perfect for all customers, not just those looking for gluten-free options. For a takeaway sweet treat, why not add gluten-free doughnuts to your menu? Doughnuts are big news on high street takeaway and casual dining menus – served up by many of the big chains - and a popular choice with adults and children alike. The KaterBake midi-sized gluten-free ring doughnut from Central Foods is suitable for vegetarians, as well as coeliacs, and is perfect for a range of foodservice uses. It can be served as it comes - lightly sugared - or dressed up or down to achieve every price point. Try topping with glazes or icing, decorating with sprinkles, fruit or popcorn, threading onto straws for eye-catching ‘freakshake’ milkshakes, or slicing in half and filling with a generous scoop of ice-cream for the ultimate ice-cream sandwich.
options for customers who are coeliac or have gluten-free dietary requirements,” said Gordon Lauder, MD of Central Foods. “It’s important that takeaways and restaurants stock products that are suitable for those looking for gluten-free options, and we’re delighted that we have an extensive range available to help foodservice outlets meet these needs. Having quick-cook frozen products to hand also ensures operators can still cater for gluten-free customers even when demand outstrips availability during service.” Visit the free-from section on the Central Foods website for more details about the gluten-free range www.centralfoods.co.uk
If you’re looking for stunning desserts to serve in a sit-down restaurant, Central Foods has the solution. The company offers a range of delicious desserts that are gluten free, including its new vegetarian and gluten-free Menuserve Ruby Chocolate and Raspberry Cheesecake launching this summer. Other options include the Menuserve New York Style Baked Cheesecake and the Menuserve Baked Chocolate and Cherry Cheesecake - both gluten-free and vegan friendly – or the superb range of meringue roulades that are also suitable for those on a gluten-free diet. “Central Foods has a strong commitment to the gluten-free sector, helping to ensure that foodservice operators can easily stock and serve tasty sweet and savoury gluten-free

10 YEARS OF GLUTEN FREE AT SIMPSONS FISH AND CHIPS! Written by James Ritchie, Simpsons Fish and Chips At Simpsons Fish and Chips we are proud to have catered for coeliac suffers for what’s coming up to 10 years!
and pulls on the knowledge he has learnt from the many customers he has. If you haven’t started offering gluten free, I would encourage you to look into it, speak to Stelios and see how it could work for your business.
Have you caught up with the Ceres Podcast? Stelios travels and talks to exciting people within the food & hospitality industry. Focussed on learning from manufacturers, growers, suppliers, trade associations, cooks, chefs, equipment suppliers. Tune in if you’re the owner, manager or the chef of a restaurant, cafe, fish and chip shop, or catering business. When we originally started we saw it as an opportunity to grow our business and be able to offer fish and chips to people who have never been able to enjoy our dish. It was also another way to make our meal inclusive to everyone. You may have one member of a family who suffers from coeliac disease and that will prevent a full family from choosing to have fish and chips as a family meal. Offering gluten free allows the family as a whole to enjoy a meal and we have customers who have travelled miles just to be able to enjoy fish and chips.
Episodes already available: • Andrew Crook & Mark Petrou - Roundtable Discussion • Kelly & Tim Barnes - Krispies Fish & Chips • Garry Rosser - The Scallop Shell, Bath.
We don’t offer gluten free every day, we still stick to running just one gluten free day a week, but on this day we offer the full menu as gluten free. In the past products such as gluten free batter weren’t the best, but this is something which has now improved down to the hard work of the suppliers such as Ceres. I personally prefer our gluten free fish and chips compared to our regular fish and chips, and would move on to the batter permanently if the costings were more affordable. However, I do understand the costings incurred in producing this batter, and wholly support this. We at Simpsons have worked closely with Stelios Theocharous at Ceres to get our gluten free products just right. Stelios always has the time to listen to any concerns or questions which you may have and he has become more a friend than supplier. He helps to grow your business

What is Coeliac Disease? Coeliac disease is a lifelong autoimmune disease caused by a reaction to gluten.1 Coeliac disease is a common illness which affects 1 in 100 people within the UK.1 Gluten can be found in hundreds of every day products such as bread, pasta and cereals to name a few, which can be challenging to those who suffer from the illness. In recent years the demand for ‘free from’ products has seen a sharp rise with 1 in 10 people actively avoiding gluten or cutting it out of their diets completely2. The UK free-from market has grown by 133% between 2013 and 20183 which is evidence to the fact that gluten free products are something consumers expect to see on menus in 2019. Goldensheaf believe that quality should never be compromised no matter what the circumstance. We have a proud tradition of excellence and popularity

You should use separate, clean oil to fry chips and glutenfree battered fish. Filtering the oil will not be enough. • Use specifically created Gluten Free products, such as Gluten Free sausages, batter mixes and gravy, some product options are:

CELEBRATE NATIONAL FISH AND CHIP DAY
What an absolutely amazing celebration of the nation’s favourite dish on Friday 7th June! Where do we start?! What an absolutely amazing celebration of the nation’s favourite dish on Friday 7th June! Shops the length and breadth of the country joined in by decorating their shops, some ran competitions and special offers, while others just had lots of fun in their shops on the day as existing and new customers poured through their doors after hearing or seeing or reading something about National Fish and Chip Day. Thank you to each and every shop that joined in the celebrations – the purpose of National Fish and Chip Day is to shout about brand fish and chips… and we certainly did that! NEODA organised 7 Roadshows across the country in London, Cardiff, Bournemouth, Chester, Belfast, Aberdeen and Exmouth. Huge thanks to Kingfisher on the Go, Penalunas, Bennett’s, Fish and Chips @ Weston Grove, The Dolphin Takeaway, Pitstop Fast Food, The Bay and Krispies for serving up steaming hot fish and chips despite some rather lively weather in places! There was some excellent media coverage including an appearance on ITV local news from Krispies. Thanks must also go to Seafish and the suppliers who provided finance, product, manpower and enthusiasm – FASFA, Middleton Foods, VA Whitley, Henry Colbeck, Drywite, Kerry, Friars Pride, T Quality, AAK, Frymax, KFE, Chippy Chat, Duncrue, JJ Foodservice, Harrisons, Fry and BD Signs. The Roadshows were a huge success and we hope to run more of them in 2020. Media coverage got off to a terrific start with NFFF President, Andrew Crook delivering fish and chips to the Zoe Ball Breakfast Show on Radio 2 – Andrew was interviewed alongside the Friends Round Friday guests, including Liam Gallagher and Craig David who all tucked in to fish and chips!

The National Fish and Chip Day hashtag started working its way up the rankings and was Number 1 earlier than previous years and stayed there until early evening – something we haven’t seen before. There was an incredible response to the day on all social media streams with thousands of photos appearing on Instagram and likes and shares and conversations on Facebook. But on Twitter, in particular, we noticed a marked change with many companies who have no association with fish and chips joining in – #nationalfishandchipday was THE hashtag get involved with! In London, Kingfisher on the Go were giving away free fish and chips to commuters and tourists from 8am. They received a visit from London Cabbie, Jamie Brown, who was the face of National Fish and Chip Day 2017 and was the centre of the social media search to find him earlier in the year! When they’d finished serving, they hot-footed it over to BBC Broadcasting House to prepare for their national TV appearance on The One Show. Craig and Nikki did the industry proud. There was more coverage on Saturday morning with a lovely film piece on Saturday Kitchen. Thanks to Harbourside in Plymouth for getting involved with this. It has been wonderful to look at all the photographs of the day – what a great way to celebrate our industry. Thank you to everyone who took part. See you next year! Friday 5th June 2020! Lynda Simmons, Secretary General NEODA

I would like to thank thank NEODA and it’s members for their funding and organization of such a successful event. National Fish and Chip Day is about raising awareness of fish and chips, you don’t need to provide discounts, just celebrate our great dish. The level of media attention generated on the day was unbelievable and I don’t think any other cuisine could create that much interest and excitement. I would also like to thank Craig Maw and Nikki Mutton for their hard work preparing and cooking g almost 1000 portions of fish and chips at the event at Trinity House and then cleaning down ready to do the BBC The ONE Show.

Award Winning Fish and Chips Don’t Have to Cost the Earth. Weston Grove Promotes Sustainability
Fish and Chips at Weston Grove is a traditional fish and chip shop with a forward looking approach to business. Owners Josette and Richard Foster say “As a family business we need to look to the future. This means providing our customers with top quality food to encourage their loyalty, being aware of changes in their requirements and doing our part in protecting the planet for future generations.”
Frymax can even identify for us the plantations from which our oil was sourced” Richard and Josette believe sustainability needs to be publicised and encouraged in other food establishments. In fact, through a project led by Chester Zoo, Chester has become the first Sustainable Palm Oil City in the World and due to their active participation Weston Grove is the only Fish and Chip shop designated as Sustainable Palm Oil Champions. To achieve this they carried out an audit on all menu items to ensure that their suppliers are only using sustainable palm oil and they will be encouraging other businesses to move to sustainable palm oil.
Customer Preferences
Weston Grove have identified customer preferences as opportunities to develop their business. They have recognised the move towards lighter meals and offer
Sustainability is at the heart of Weston Grove’s business. They are the only fish and chip shop in Chester to have MSC accreditation. They have replaced plastic straws and knives and forks with sustainable alternatives. All packaging is biodegradable, cardboard or paper. To counter the negative publicity surrounding palm oil Weston Grove have been very careful in choice of frying medium. “We use Frymax because it is sourced from approved and certified production units and is 100% sustainable and traceable.
smaller portions and healthier specials on their menu. They offer a gluten free option on a daily basis so anytime a coeliac visits Weston Grove they can enjoy a gluten free fish and chip meal. A more recent move has been the introduction of some vegan options, notably pies, gravy and curry, to tap into this rapidly growing market.
Quality
The passion for quality remains paramount. “To build a business you must have high quality appetising food. Having obtained the NFFF Quality Award, been included in Fry Best 50 Takeways and won The Best Newcomer Award we know that you can build a successful business using sustainable products”
The Fryers’ Favourite For Over 60 Years.
The UK’s Best Newcomer Chooses When Josette and Richard Foster opened Fish and Chips @
Weston Grove in Chester in 2016 they knew that only the best quality, delicious fried food would attract customers and keep them coming back for more. That is why they chose industry favourite Frymax as their cooking medium. Importantly, for Josette and Richard, as Chester Zoo sustainable palm oil champions, Frymax is fully RSPO certified, is produced from approved and certified production units and is 100% sustainable and traceable. The results? They have trebled turnover over the previous business, have achieved the NFFF quality award and MSC accreditation and against stiff opposition were placed in the top 50 of the UK’s best Takeaways by the respected FRY magazine. The reward? Fish and Chips @Weston Grove was voted the the recent National Fish and Chip awards.

COST SAVINGS AND HAPPY CUSTOMERS What a new Kiremko Range can do for your business It’s very easy for us to sing the praises of our Kiremko Ranges as we live and breathe them every day, but we wanted to get honest feedback from some of our customers so you can you clearly see how an upgrade to one of our ranges can take your business to the next level. Jason Fish from Jason’s in Norwich wall all too happy to oblige. Jason’s in Norwich have been running their Kiremko 4-Pan Range since September and Jason is already noticing the difference with his business. His customer’s are enjoying better chips and the shop is much busier than it used to be. Jason feels that the range is
paying for itself with the increase in sales, alongside the clear cost savings. Their gas bill has gone down by 40%, which equates to approximately £80 a month, they use 3-5 fewer blocks of oil per week roughly saving £250 a month and even though their turnover is up, they’re using the same amount of potatoes, which equates to a saving of approximately 5 bags a week at £12 a bag. To find out how a Kiremko Range can change your business, give us a call on 01778 380448 or email sales@kfeltd.co.uk.

What would you do with £500,000?

Perfect weekend would be sunshine, a nice walk with child and partner, then food and drinks with friends.
2. What is your dream holiday destination in the UK, and also abroad?

My dream holiday in the U.K. would have to be the Lake District. The people are friendly and the views are beautiful. Abroad would have to be the island of Kuredu in the Maldives - simply paradise.
What is your favourite drink?
My favourite drink is a cask beer, being weaned on Tetley’s. But do enjoy a refreshing cider or lager when the temperature is warm or after a long hot shift.
8.
Do you prefer cod or haddock?
Haddock is my choice, it’s in the taste.
9. What is your first memory of fish and chips? My first memory was ‘laying in’ my first fish at the age of 13 (40 years ago!!) I was very nervous, but then, it just felt right, I loved it. It was me, the downside to that was after frying a busy Friday tea your dad doesn’t wash the fish trays! All five were in the sink just waiting for me.
10. What is your prediction for the fish and potato industry?
3. What is your favourite sport, and which is your least favourite? My favourite sport has to be cricket, having my first game at the age of 13 I was hooked, my playing days are over now but I’m a level 2 coach and put a bit back into my childhood club Shadwell cc by coaching the under 9s and under 11s. Least favourite sport would be basketball.
4. If you could be granted one superhero power, what would it be and why? My superhero power would have to be to fly, what a rush that would be.
5. Which three people, dead or alive, would comprise your perfect dinner date? My three dinner date friends would have to be Winston Churchill, Eric Morecambe and Richard Branson. What a combination that would be.
