Kiremko NEW High Efficiency Flat Bottom Chip Pan • The most high efficient pan on the market, pan independently tested and certificated at 94% • Pans are manufactured in mild steel with less oil content • Proven pan performance over 10 years throughout Europe • Standard 5 year pan warranty, option now through contracts to extend up to 10 years The flat bottom pans are brilliant I thought that when I saw them on a shop visit but in reality they are even better as they are so easy to manage and clean, the performance is excellent.

The oil savings are fantastic and there is no loss in power.

We choose KFE frying ranges for their performance and reliability.

We have the speed and efficiency of a heat exchanger whilst retaining the advantages of a flat bottom pan producing both the quality and quantity that we demand.

THE CHIP-PIES Pukka Pies announces impactful brand refresh across fish and chip shops

6

Chippy Chat & Fast Food Magazine • August 2017

T

he nation’s favourite pie brand1 Pukka Pies, today announces the roll out of an impactful new brand mark and completely new point of sale for fish and chip shops and the wider eating out market. The move aims to bring more consumers into fish and chip shops and broaden the appeal of PUKKA amongst a diverse audience to encourage more people to eat pies more often.

Whilst remaining true to PUKKA’s confident, bold feel and instantly recognisable orange, black and white lozenge, the new brand mark has been modernised with more contemporary brand colours and fonts. Moving from black to charcoal, white to cream and neon orange to a warm, natural orange adds a more modern, more unisex and more ‘foodie’ feel. Further, introducing a crafted pie within the ‘A’ adds a subtle link back to the brand’s heritage and reasserts PUKKA as quality pie makers.

The update has been made following extensive research with fish and chip shops, distributors and consumers which showed that the brand refresh was welcomed, had excellent appeal and was a significant step change for the brand.

The new look was praised for giving a sense of PUKKA’s good quality products and indicating a modern, up-to-date brand.

Chippy Chat & Fast Food Magazine • August 2017

CHOICE! Although in positive sales growth at +0.9% the UK fish and chip shop market is performing below the market average of 3.3% 2. There is an opportunity to change the sector in order to grow in line with the market and, as the nation’s favourite fish and chip shop pie brand, PUKKA is best placed to drive this growth.

Expansion in the eating out market currently stems from outlets that are capitalising on the trend towards a more premium value offering targeting younger audiences. It is this learning which has influenced PUKKA’s decision to make the brand mark more modern, more unisex, more ‘foodie’ and with stronger quality cues.

PUKKA’s Director Tim Storer spoke of the changes, “Ever since my father first started trading as Trevor Storer’s Homemade Pies 50 years ago, fish and chip shops and eating out venues have been – and always will be - the heartland of our business. But, like any competitive company we also need to be responsive and nimble, and not sit still.

We hope the new brand proposition for our foodservice partners helps attract a wider consumer base, as we know that there is room to grow the category, and in turn increase sales and profits for our valued customers.”

‘Pies’ has been removed from the new 7

Chippy Chat & Fast Food Magazine • August 2017

PUKKA brand mark to future-proof for potential range diversification. However, after learning that fish and chip shops didn’t want to lose the word ‘pies’ from their shop signage and POS, PUKKA developed a secondary brand mark to be used specifically for signage and POS items.

This new range of modernised point of sale includes illuminated signs, pavement signs, A2 posters, wobblers and door signs and is focused on communicating that PUKKA makes you ‘feel good inside’ and has a range of high quality, deliciously tasty pies.

The new branding brings PUKKA’s eating out offering in line with its updated Grocery channels, in which the refresh and rollout was tested before being brought to the wider market. The refresh in Grocery saw 765,000 new households brought into the PUKKA brand, an ambition which PUKKA aims to realise across foodservice channels.

Customers who wish to access the new PUKKA branding can download assets and order POS material from www.pukkapies.co.uk/trade or phone 0116 3800 743 1 Source: No.1 branded pie in chilled retail – IR 52 w/e

Diamonds are Forever!

It’s all go for Fish and Chip Duo

R

oaming the Berkshire countryside, with their distinctive diamondshaped logo surfing a wave across the side of their van, Chris Harris and Paul Brandon are a world away from the kitchen of the chain restaurant where they met years ago, and where they found a mutual ambition and passion to offer the catering world something new and different.

In 2013, they decided to take the plunge.

They started a period of intensive research, and soon found a gap in the local market offering top quality mobile fish and chips, providing a core menu of quality products, with a focus on freshness, cleanliness and the personal touch.

After some disappointing hours journeying up and down motorways to look at possible vans for their new business, they decided only the best would do and opted for a new van, with bespoke fitting, custom built for purpose. They worked with a local designer to come up with the eye-catching logo, wanting something that would make them stand out from the more traditional.

Another important decision was in choosing their suppliers. Again, for Paul and Chris, only the best would do. From the beginning, quality won over costsaving, and all their fish comes from an MSC approved sustainable source.

Their customers appreciate their efforts, returning week in, week out, knowing that they will receive a consistent, high-

10

Chippy Chat & Fast Food Magazine • August 2017

quality product. This is something Chris and Paul are agreed they will never compromise on.

Having built up a following at their regular village pitches, and with the private bookings starting to build, the unimaginable happened. Shortly after making the critical decision to go full time with their new business, they lost their van in a devastating fire. Whilst they admit there were times they both felt like giving up, they fought on. With the support of friends, family and industry colleagues, they covered the events they had booked so as not to let down any customers, they replaced their van with a bigger and better version, and when they were back on the road a few months later, their ever-loyal regulars were right there waiting for them.

Since then, there has been no looking back. Their reputation precedes them, and since 2016 they have been servicing three weekly pitches, taking part in regular pop-up street food festivals, and taking on more private and corporate events, an aspect of the business they really enjoy and are keen to move into more in the future.

They knew they’d made the right decision when, trialling a new round, they arrived half an hour early and instantly had a queue that lasted 3 ½ hours. They had sold out within two hours and a family member was sent back to base for more supplies. “We’ve never worked so hard” says Paul, “but felt like we must be doing something right!”. Other highlights Chippy Chat & Fast Food Magazine • August 2017

10

so far include serving at the London Fire Brigade 150-year anniversary, parked inside their new museum, surrounded by 1900s fire engines.

They were already a year into the new business when Paul learnt he was destined for fish and chips all along.

His Dad showed him a photo of his grandparents, stood outside the fish and chip shop they owned in the 60s, something he hadn’t previously been aware of. They even had their own mobile round, serving hundreds of workers from the local factories. Not so very different from the business parks where Paul and Chris serve up their fish and chips today!

When asked what sets them apart, they don’t hesitate. Cooking every single meal fresh to order and offering consistently high standards. They keep a fryer for gluten free options at every service, and offer their vegetarian customers

11

Chippy Chat & Fast Food Magazine • August 2017

interesting alternatives - think zucchini fries, aioli battered mushrooms and fried halloumi. This next-level service, they say, is what keeps their regulars coming back and the bookings rolling in. If they choose to introduce a new product, they test it rigorously before trying it out with their regulars. Their recent fish wrap went down particularly well.

So, what’s next for Go Fish and Chips?

A shop perhaps? Franchising their brand? Scaling up production of their ever-popular homemade tartare and aioli sauces (don’t ask for the recipes – they’re top secret!) and selling them by the jar? All very real possibilities in the not too distant future. You could say the world is their oyster.

apa’s is a family business which has been in operation since 1966. They have recently celebrated their 50th Anniversary in Fish and Chips and are proud to say they are as passionate today about fish and chips as they were back in 1966.

They now operate 4 restaurants across Cleethorpes, Hull and Scarborough.

George, you use Nortech superior in your shops how long have you been using it?

“We have been using Nortech for more than a decade.

We had always had a great relationship with Derek from T Quality. We completely trusted him when he recommended we try Superior Beef Dripping. We are extremely grateful he did as we haven’t looked back since!”

What are the reasons for using Nortech Superior?

“We were determined to capture that traditional ‘Fish and Chip Shop’ taste and Nortech has helped us achieve that.

It sets the bar for refined and deodorised beef dropping, with its clean yet traditional flavour.

It can also be enjoyed with a clear conscience - Nortech Superior Beef Dripping is naturally low in trans fats, non hydrogenated and delivers great performance when frying.

It’s also a great added benefit that all of the beef used is fully traceable back to British farms - our customers expect transparency across the board, and our frying medium is no different.“ Papas are a main speaker at this year’s field to Frier day at Isle of Ely Produce - why is the journey of the potato so important - as a field to Frier finalist how do you ensure quality?

“We are honoured and excited to be joining the list of high profile names who have already presented at the isle of Ely open day. The day is tremendously useful and a must on any fish and chip enthusiasts calendar.

Like our Beef Dripping, potatoes are another core ingredient. Overlooking anyone one of these core ingredients lets the whole dish down.

It’s essential to have a merchant or farmer you trust.

However, you can’t become dependent on anyone person. If you’re serving it up, your customers will only hold you accountable for the quality of the meal, it’s no good blaming the potato merchant if a customer complains about their chips!

Having a sound knowledge on potatoes helps tremendously - learning about the seasonal variations is important to set realistic expectations to your supplier. However, I’d never be happy to accept a poorquality potato. “ Nortech Foods Limited Ings Road Doncaster South Yorkshire DN5 9TL Tel: +44 (0) 1302 390880 www.nortechfoods.co.uk Chippy Chat & Fast Food Magazine • August 2017

P1… For P100 Wales’ No1 Shop Uses P100 – here’s why We spoke to Jemma Hennighan from Henninghans and Matthew Bedford from Fishtastic to see why they love P100

on being the Best Fish and Chip Shop in Wales 2017.

1. Jemma How long have you been using P100?

We’ve been using P100 for 20+years as it was the correct product for us at that time.

2. Why? It is vegetable oil so suitable for vegetarians.

It is easy to use.

Price is on par with other oils that are known as the “best” however the price of oil is due to increase over the coming weeks.

We have never had problems with it so why change, because it does the job for us.

3. What advice would you give about oil care?

Filter regularly- daily Change the oil when needed don’t try and drag it out as this is when the product is affected.

Don’t mix dirty oil product (sausage, chicken bites etc) with clean If you can filter between shifts, it’s something we’ve started doing since our refurb and works very effectively for us.

4. Are you planning on staying with P100?

For the foreseeable future, yes. We are not here to move around suppliers just to get the best deal, we are here to supply a consistent product to our customers.

5. Are you planning on entering the awards this year?

This question is still unanswered for us at Hennighans. This year we are celebrating our 35th so do have some ideas and events under wrap. For now we are going to concentrate 16

Chippy Chat & Fast Food Magazine • August 2017

Matthew Bedford from Fishtastic uses P100 too he said “Here at Fishtastic, Cardea, Peterborough we only fry in P100 palm oil. We first tried this 3 ½ years ago, thanks to the previous owner recommending it. We found it to be of a high standard on par with others but at a price better for my pocket.

We have found a consistent supply of P100 thanks to Tquality. We recommend it, to those of you looking for a consistent palm oil at a good price, with no tainting of product.

Our product is always consistent thanks to our Kiremko frying range, helping us to produce high quality fish and chips, the performance of the range helps with oil management thanks to the built-in filtration with the supapad upgrade, we’ve also saved on oil consumption. “

Top Tips from the Fryers It’s Getting Hot in the Kitchen Business is booming, and everyone’s holiday dreams are coming true. Fish, chips and fun filled days are here. Well, we certainly hope that’s the case!

Frymax and fryers just love it when things get busy. So why not make the most of this boom time while you can?

Busy busy busy…

A busy oil is a happy, long lived oil. Every batch of chips that enters a fryer gives the oil a little steam clean. Water from the chips is forced out as steam and dissolves some of the water soluble impurities which build up when the hot oil is not in use. As you get through more batches of chips, you will also need to top up more often, so your oil is constantly being refreshed.

I’m sure you’ve seen it, but when you have a busy day, you don’t end up with dark unappealing chips, it’s when they can be at their best! Now you might have a weekly routine you keep to – getting fresh oil in on a Wednesday or Thursday so it’s fresher but still tasty for the weekend. But it’s worth doing a bit of research. If you have had a really busy week and weekend, it may be that you could reduce how often you go for a full oil changeover. How about two changes in 3 weeks instead of three? But never forget it’s the quality of your food which brings your customers back, so always be guided by the look and taste of your final fried products.

Hold onto the salt…

As you cope with this busy season, make sure over-enthusiasm and speed don’t start damaging your oil. Salt acts as a catalyst making oil break down rapidly, so make sure that when you are busy salting food, or customers are applying it themselves that no salt gets into your pans. Where possible, having closed lids on your fryers will also help to keep out any stray salt from over-enthusiastic sprinkling.

Another catalyst which has a really bad reaction with oil is copper. Make sure if you’re having any repairs done or buying any new equipment, it’s vital that you avoid any fittings or utensils made with copper as your oil will break down exceptionally quickly.

If you have any questions or want to add any of your own top tips, please contact us via the details below.

David Henley always fries in David Henley has run a successful, award winning fish and chip shop for over 15 years. His secret is simple, to produce great tasting fish and chips every time.

To achieve this, David has built up a store of knowledge as to which are the best ingredients to use and in particular which frying medium will deliver consistent results every time ...and that frying medium is Frymax.

He knows that Frymax is pure white sustainable premium palm, made from the highest quality raw materials. And that there is none better at giving long lasting performance, which is so important in the current economic climate.

Frymax has rightly earned the reputation as the number one cooking oil. It is as good today as it was when launched all those years ago. David Henley recognises its worth and the role Frymax plays in making his fish and chips taste really great.

Flav-Tastic!

A new oil for the fish & chip world

By Martin McHugh – Flavoil

A brand-new oil is making tracks in the Fish & Chip trade. It is highly resistant to oxidation, it has no oily taste, and it is mostly healthy Omega 9 MUFAs (monounsaturated fatty acids) so healthy for customers and strong too so you simply top it up: so it is good for the environment too.

L

ondon-based FlavOil has launched a new high oleic sunflower oil called FlavOil HOSO which has been tested by some of the top chip shop operators in the country.

Friers with decades of experience using other frying mediums have said that this is amongst the best oils they have ever used!

We have received comments such as, “It is one of the best oil I have ever used” and “this is the best thing I have done to improve my food in many a year”. The customers have

been happy too, commenting on the taste of the food and the crispy batter.

Fish & Chips is the national dish and well cooked Fish & Chips is a great meal. The most successful shops are moving upmarket with MSC sustainable fish, properly prepared fresh potatoes and now, with carefully sourced healthy oil, the trend is likely to continue.

Chippy Chat & Fast Food Magazine • August 2017

Andy Nutley Operations Director at Deep Blue Restaurants said “We decided to roll out FlavOil across all our stores after a trial period which proved to be a great success.

We found FlavOil produces a consistent product & its longevity balances out the costs with comparative frying media.

FlavOil has a great flavour and, being a high oleic sunflower oil, it offers a healthier option to our customers”

High Oleic Sunflower Oil is very stable in just the same way, but it has been proven to lower bad ldl cholesterol in the body and has no cholesterol itself and very low PUFAs (polyunsaturated fatty acids).

It is also vegetarian, vegan and universally faith compliant and has a healthier fat profile than Olive oil.

Cost effective FlavOil HOSO is a premium high-performance oil but it need not be expensive to use. The findings from our extensive trials are that an average chip shop will actually save money using FlavOil HOSO as there is no actual waste oil, which is not the case with other oils and fats. Waste oilnmanagement is therefore simplified too.

The taste of food cooked in FlavOil HOSO is great too because of the neutral taste of sunflower oil.

Why not try FlavOil HOSO yourself, contact Robin Tillmanns at FlavOil on 0207 1381 077 or simply email Robin at robin.t@flavoil.co.uk to arrange a free trial.

ABOUT FlavOil FlavOil is a British company that imports sunflower oil from their own large farms in Europe. For more information and facts about FlavOil HOSO, visit www.flavoil.co.uk

Eddie Takes the Strain!

World’s Strongest Man Opens New Blakeman Production Facility

he ‘2017 Worlds Strongest Man’ Eddie Hall was invited to open the new £1.35 million production facility at Blakeman’s High Carr factory recently.

In true ‘Eddie’ style he took the strain as he pulled the first production load from the premises, signalling, yet further investment of Blakeman’s expansion within the cooked product market.

The conversion of one cold store unit by McVeigh Projects, taking only 40% of its floor space, creating a manufacturing facility from raw ingredients to cooked product all contained in one auditable area.

Blakeman’s have increased their cooked volume by up to 35% (42,000 kg) with less handling of its products whilst still maintaining full traceability.

Tote bins of meat are accurately measured by in floor weighing scales, minced mixed using a KG Wetter and transferred to a Handtmann filling system.

Sausages are then portioned and transported by an Arnott conveyor directly to the GEA inline frying facility.

The process from raw material to finished cooked product in less than 50 minutes reduces the lead time for customers in the ever fast paced food industry. - “That is as impressive as Eddie” One of Europe’s leading manufacturers of sausage and meat products, the Blakeman family has supplied domestic and export catering and fast food markets for over 60 years. Its use of only the finest ingredients at its Stoke-on-Trent production facility has ensured a reputation for consistently high quality. James T Blakeman (Services) Ltd is recognised as a leading supplier of cooked sausage and meat products to the ready meal and contract cooking markets.

In keeping with the Blakeman tradition of quality and service, both companies operate a fleet of meticulously maintained temperature controlled vehicles that deliver raw, cooked, frozen and chilled products throughout Great Britain. European deliveries are made by specialist continental temperature controlled logistics companies.

Portion Control Problems?

Tray these for size!

I

t’s no secret that recent inflation rises have had an impact on the Fish & Chip industry, but with the fantastic range of portion control focused Hook & Fish packaging, you can push your profits without compromising on quality.

With an array of serving boxes, trays and pots all designed to give a visually large portion size with the ability to tightly control the physical serving size, the customer won’t be left feeling short changed and neither will you.

In support of portion control a 2016 survey, carried out by Seafish, stated that 44% of the sample group believed that standard chip portions are too big, whilst 21% of them regularly throw away some of the fish as there is too much. This then keeps the customer happy whilst cutting down on food waste at the same time.

How can formed trays help in your shop?

With its 100% recyclable range of standard and large formed trays, Hook & Fish can be used for fish, chips, sides and much more! Coupled with its eye catching design and key features; including being great for portion control, biodegradable, stackable, simple to store and easy to

28

Chippy Chat & Fast Food Magazine • August 2017

handle, The Hook & Fish formed tray is able to fit all of your food serving needs.

“I like the formed tray because its Recyclable, it looks good and the size is also good too.”

– Mr Morris, Wrights Fish & Chips “They are cost effective and take up less storage space... they are very popular with our customers.”

–Simon Wimble, Stubbington Fish and Chips.

With the tray’s fresh and bold design, it’s perfect to advertise on a digital menu board or screen. The formed tray also has a FREE digital menu video and poster available for your shop/restaurant, and with this bespoke animation created exclusively for the Q Partnership, the customer won’t be able to miss it!

Fry for the RNLI! Be part of the RNLI’s ‘Fish Supper’ 13th-15th October

R

NLI Fish Supper is the Royal National Lifeboat Institution’s annual charity event to raise funds to support their life-saving work. Participants sign up to host their own Fish Supper for friends and family and ask for donations towards the meal. This year the campaign is over the weekend of 13 – 15 October, and Chippy Chat is inviting you to get involved.

Not everyone is able to host their own ‘Fish Supper’ event at home and others may want to save on the washing up and dine out! This is where your frying skills come in. The event is a fun way to encourage customers into your shop bringing friends and family together to enjoy a great meal provided by you, inspired by the sea - and while raising money for a great cause. It is simple for you to be part of the event with two easy options: A) Become a Fish Supper ambassador and support the campaign by choosing to donate 10% per portion of fish and chips sold between the 13 - 15 October. In return we will help promote your outlet as a place to go in support of the RNLI Fish Supper.

B) Help promote the campaign with branded decorations and have an RNLI donation box by the till to encourage customers to pop any change or donations in.

We’ll make sure you have everything you need and we’ll send you a fundraising pack when you sign up that that has bunting, posters and collection boxes, bringing Fish Supper to your shop. Simply visit https:// fishsupper.rnli.org to get involved!

The funds raised will help to support the RNLI’s volunteer crew, who are ready to

32

Chippy Chat & Fast Food Magazine • August 2017

drop everything — even their supper — at a moment’s notice. It will support all aspects of the RNLI’s life-saving work and could help them buy kit for crew members or fuel for one of their lifeboats. Every penny you raise means that you’re helping to save lives at sea, 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.

Are you connected to the RNLI? We are looking for RNLI ambassadorspeople who have got an existing connection to the RNLI. You could be a volunteer crew member, a lifeguard, been rescued or know of family or friends who have been rescued.

If so we’d love to hear from you, just email the Fish Supper team at FishSupper@RNLI. org.uk.

Your connection to the RNLI and your story could encourage more people to support Fish Supper.

About the RNLI • The RNLI is the charity that saves lives at sea and provides: a 24-hour rescue service, lifeguards on over 240 beaches, emergency flood relief, and works in communities to help reduce the risk of drowning.

• 238 lifeboat stations around the UK and Ireland cover 19,000 miles of coastline.

• 95% of RNLI people are volunteers.

• RNLI relies on the publics’ generous donations and legacies to keep the service afloat.

RNLI costs • £2.2M cost of an all-weather lifeboat.

• Each crew lifejacket cost £458; safety helmets cost £263; slip-resistant wellies are £54 a pair; and it costs £25 for protective gloves.

Cod’s Own Country!

British favourite - cod is back on the menu after 10 years of industry effort

O

ver a decade since North Sea cod stocks came close to collapse, fish merchants, suppliers, restaurants, fish and chip shops and their customers can finally buy the popular species with a clear conscience and a recognised certification. Scottish and English cod boats, belonging to the Scottish Fisheries Sustainable Accreditation Group (SFSAG) are now MSC certified.

Thanks to the enormous efforts of a coalition of fishing organisations with support from seafood brands and the industry body, Seafish, North Sea cod has passed an independent assessment against the MSC’s strict standard. The news means that – subject to strict traceability requirements – North Sea cod can now be sold through MSC Chain of Custody certified supply chains from MSC fish suppliers to certified restaurants and fish and chip shops bearing the MSC ‘blue tick’ label.

North Sea cod’s long road to recovery The announcement marks a momentous achievement for the industry. Cod stocks in the North Sea peaked at 270,000 tonnes in the 1970s, when North Sea cod was widely sold and enjoyed. However, stocks fell to just 44,000 tonnes in 2006.

Since then the industry has worked with the Scottish Government and EU Fisheries Council to agree and implement a ‘Cod Recovery Plan’ that would nurse the stock back to health.

34

Chippy Chat & Fast Food Magazine • August 2017

The plan linked the number of days fishing that boats were given to the conservation measures they signed up to. The plan aimed to reduce cod catches by 25 per cent in 2009, followed by subsequent annual reductions of 10 per cent. In response, the Scottish industry closed large spawning areas to fishing and introduced a system of real time closures to protect aggregations while trialling new nets and developing a system of remote electronic monitoring using CCTV cameras on board boats.

William Crooks, at Dennis Crooks Fish Merchants commented; “I think it’s a phenomenal accomplishment for North Sea Cod to have achieved MSC certification, especially when you consider just 10 years ago it had been fished to within an inch of its life. Hopefully this will spark fresh interest from MSC certified fish and chip shops who have been using frozen Icelandic and Norwegian cod – the only species available to them with the certified sustainable MSC status.

We need to get the message out there to the general public that fresh British cod is now available as MSC certified sustainable – to correct any previously confusing media messages.”

Craig Maw, NFFF Director and owner of major award-winning Kingfisher Fish & Chips was delighted at the news and what it might mean for the industry; “What a fantastic achievement for North Sea cod stocks being awarded MSC certification. The turnaround is nothing short of miraculous! It is a testament to the joint efforts of UK fishermen, industry bodies and many others involved who have worked very hard to ensure these stocks return back to sustainable levels.”

Loveonthe Durban man’s passion for fish restaurant and takeaway

By Daniella Capriati

36

D

eep Blue Fish Co was founded in 2017 by local fisherman Sean Woodcock, who has a serious passion for fish & food, decided to combine the two by creating the goto one stop shop for fresh fish, frozen seafood & of course the best takeaway in town. Having grown up on the East Coast of South Africa, in beautiful Durban, Sean spent every chance he got on the beach, whether it was fishing or surfing, the ocean had his heart. You can almost say it was written in the “sand” that life would take him down this path… His new destiny of Deep Blue Fish Co. Opening up a fish shop that was all about creating a family within the community and wanting to provide only the best quality fish, seafood and service to his customers. So, when a store became available in the heart of Durban North, he knew his dream was slowly becoming a reality. Revamping the old shop into a fish shop haven, Sean and his support team truly did put in the hours to make sure that everything was perfect for the opening. They understand the value of a returning customer and they wanted to make sure they had the perfect recipe for just that.

Our fresh fish comes straight off the

Chippy Chat & Fast Food Magazine • August 2017

boat, literally. We strive for bringing our customers the best and that means making fresh fish available on a daily basis. We make sure our customers stay up to date with our fresh fish arrivals by notifying them on our social media platforms, so they are always informed and can pop in and collect with convenience.

Fresh Norwegian Salmon, Yellowfin Tuna & Couta seem to the favourites already.

We stock a variety of frozen seafood as well, which grows our menu selection even further, Argentinian prawns, mussels & clams just to name a few. An added bonus is we also have a variety of condiments that work with all the fish & seafood we supply. From an Asian infused corner through to a variety of butters, spices and of course a peri peri sauce selection of note. You can come pop into the shop and leave with everything you need to make the tastiest fish for dinner or have the best seafood braai on the weekend (Braai being the South Africa slang for a BBQ) Our Take away has been a huge pull with our customers since we opened, we didn’t realise the demand for a local fish & chips to takeaway, the support has been incredible and honestly blown us out of the water.

Our takeaway menu we have kept rather small, we wanted to focus on the perfect balance of flavours, yet still offer Chippy Chat & Fast Food Magazine • August 2017

36

Rocks! a variety to our customers to make sure everyone has something they want to try on the menu. From Battered to Grilled options, Hake to Calamari, Chips & Rice, there is a combo we can do for you. The FAVOURITE has definitely got to be the traditional beer battered hake & chips (Our specialty) and we make the BEST Hake nuggets in town, big chunks of Hake covered in the traditional beer batter….

They are perfection! Our Jalapeño Poppers filled to the brim with cheese seem to also be stealing the show when it comes to side order favourites and if you have a sweet tooth and want to try something deliciously different, the deep fried mars bar for dessert is a must. The whole menu is addictively tasty!

37

Chippy Chat & Fast Food Magazine • August 2017

We want to have a personal relationship with our customers, support locals who shop local. We are very grateful for the support we have received from our community. We hope our Deep Blue Fish Co family only grows with time. Even with the success of the shop, we strive to make it even better each and every day. We respect the feedback from our customers and we encourage them to share with us.

This being the first store he has opened and I can guarantee it won’t be the last.

SupernorMal Mission Complete as Malachy finishes 1500-mile charity cycle

Chippy Chat & Fast Food Magazine • August 2017

t’s mission complete for NI chippy boss, Malachy Mallon, owner of the Dolphin in Dungannon, after completing his solo UK charity cycle, which has already raised thousands of pounds for The Fishermen’s Mission.

Malachy ended his epic 1500 mile ‘MalOnAMission’ cycle, sponsored by McWhinney Sausages at the UK’s No.1 Chippy, Kingfisher in Plymouth after cycling for 18 days across Northern Ireland, Scotland, England and Wales to visit each of his fellow UK Top 10 Fish & Chips Shops (National Fish & Chip Awards 2017).

Main sponsor, Kevin McWhinney said, ‘Well done, Malachy from all at McWhinney’s Sausages, we are very proud to have supported this worthy charity mission, such a fantastic achievement and what a passionate ambassador he is for the chippy industry.”

Malachy Mallon (centre) is pictured at Belfast’s iconic Big Fish, Donegall Quay with (L-R) Kevin and Elaine McWhinney, McWhinney’s Sausages, Bangor, main sponsor of the #MalOnAMission charity cycle.

Commenting on his epic adventure and what got him through it, Malachy said: “I’m chuffed to say the least. Two tubs of Vaseline, one tub of Sudacrem and a bag of Himalayan salt!

“The support and the reception I had from the shops I called in at was very positive. We all speak the same language, we are like one family and we are there for the greater good of the fish and chip industry.”

Malachy hopes his UK charity cycle has helped highlight the vital importance of the lesser known Fishermen’s Mission charity, as well as the wider fish and chip shop industry.

“My main objective when I set out was to raise money for The Fishermen’s Mission, but it was also a chance to help give something back because what a lot of people don’t realise is how good we are to the economy.

The fish and chip shop sector employs 6070,000 people across the UK, so we’re a big employer and deserve a bit of respect.”

Malachy admits the hardest part of the

Chippy Chat & Fast Food Magazine • August 2017

42

cycle ride was actually the preparation leading up to it. He comments: “Going out in the wind and rain was hard and, whereas I normally cycle in a group, I went out a lot on my own to build my strength of character.

When it came to the event itself, I treated it like a day at work, I went out, did it and came home. “ The journey was not without a few wrong turns along the way. Malachy adds: “One day I should have done 80 miles and I ended up covering about 110. Another day, I got lost in Northumberland Forest as I was separated from my support driver, Susan Brown, Fishermen’s Mission and ended up riding five hours on my own!

“Sometimes, because the maps hadn’t always been updated, I would find myself in the middle of a housing estate, riding up to someone’s front door!”

The intrepid chippy owner says he is grateful to all who donated and supported him, adding, “I’d particularly like to thank my main sponsor, McWhinney’s Sausages and secondary sponsors, Stephens Catering Equipment and Duncrue Food Processors for their kind support.

“Not forgetting the Fishermen’s Mission who have been a fantastic help throughout.

Fishing remains the most dangerous peacetime occupation in the UK and this charity depends on donations, they don’t receive government funding or lottery money, so please donate on my Justgiving/ MalOnAMission page today and help these guys continue the crucial work of supporting our brave UK Fishermen.”

You can still sponsor Malachy by visiting his Just Giving page www.justgiving.com/ fundraising/MalonAMission which will remain open until Seafood Week in October.

The all-important date for your diaries is Sunday December 3rd 2017.

I

t will be a real grand occasion where you can catch up with friends and colleagues and also let your hair down too.

It has become the pre-party to the National fish and chip awards. Last year seven out of the top ten fish and chip shops in the UK chose to attend with many other previous winners in attendance too.

Places for this event are already limited many people who attended in 2016 have already pre-booked.

Chippy Chat + members receive precedence for tickets and a discounted rate too. Many members saved the membership alone with this reduced table cost!

Prices are just £66 each or £600 for a table of ten, with Chippy Chat + plus members paying just £60 and £540 respectively. * This early bird price is held from 2016.

We have some great sponsorship packages available for the Ball please email austen@chippychat.co.uk. Already many sponsors are coming but we have space for just three more.

The high quality three course meal will also feature the voice of the stars Pete Jay and then afterwards a fantastic 80’s band and then a late disco to continue the party.

We will also have a special rate at the hotel for staying over at just £75 including breakfast. Car parking and wi-fi will be FREE.

Having a

Whale of a Time!

A fish and chip shop owner believes that his shop serve the largest portion in the UK and only seven people have ever finished it

J

ohn Haggerston, 37, says that the ‘whale challenge’ at Casey’s Fish ‘n Chips involves eating a 32oz haddock, 15oz of chips, a breadcake and FOUR sides.

A standard portion of fish and chips by industry standards is a 6oz fish and 10oz of chips, with the haddock used in the challenge being more than FIVE TIMES the size.

The fastest the £11.99 challenge has ever been completed is in 5 mins 41 seconds by a competitive eater, who somehow also helped finish his partner’s fish and chips once he had finished.

Mr Haggerston, said: “We have run the challenge in the shop for over two years but only seven people have ever completed it.

“We have had people from America come over to try it.

“The best score is unlikely to be beaten unless someone gets a blender!

“We get people coming in every week to try it, about ten a week.

“Everybody eggs each other on and there is always a great atmosphere in here.

“It was just a bit of a daft idea at first but we like to have a laugh and people love it.”

48

Chippy Chat & Fast Food Magazine • August 2017

Mr Haggerston, from Ossett, urges people to tackle the unlikely feat of completing the challenge.

He said: “It’s always the ones who think they will beat it that fail the worst!

“I urge anyone to give it a go and try to complete it.”

There are various techniques that the owner believes are best to conquer the mammoth dish.

He said: “The Americans often go for diet pop as they believe that this releases gas quickly which is surprising to me.

“Others seem to down a lot of slush drink or litres and litres of water.

“Everybody has their own techniques.”

Anybody completing the challenge receives a t-shirt and their face proudly adorned on the wall.

Incredibly, the owner has plans to double the size of the fish for future challenges and has had requests to make it even bigger.

He added: “I have a 72oz haddock ready for anyone who wants to take on an even bigger challenge.

“I have a competitive eater called Beard Meats Food who finished our normal challenge in just eleven minutes.

“He has told me that as soon as I can get the fish in he will finish it. “I wouldn’t put it past him!”
