Kids get into fish!

the school and shop, with both posting on social media! As more schools collect their fish, more PR will be generated, as well as good will locally between the shop and school.

In addition, to help inspire teachers and pupils, recipe videos have been created to inspire, motivate and wet their taste buds! The first three, created by the Food Teachers Centre and the Fishmongers company, show a posh finger sandwich, hake with chorizo & chickpea stew, and paupiettes of hake with a mushroom sauce – not too shabby!

We’ve also been thrilled that John Molnar, from Cod’s Scallops, has also been creating for hake cooking videos too to support. We’re adding one each week from his kitchen - and to date to inspire kids we have hake empanadas, tacos, hake en papilotte and hake with courgettes. As many of the schools now have the hake, we are eagerly waiting to see what they do! Teachers have let us know that they want the pupils to get creative and serve something amazing. One school has already started, making fantastic ‘posh hake fishfinger sandwiches’ - which look incredible, as well as tasty!

If the pilot is successful, Fish Heroes is keen to expand the pilot across the UK and would be looking for willing chippies to take part. Would you be interested in supporting and working with your local school? If so, get in touch with the Food Teachers Centre.
