Ever wonder why your fish from your local chippy tastes so fresh? Through five simple steps:
We catch it 🎣
We process it 🛳️
We freeze it ❄️
We distribute it 🚚
You enjoy it 😋
Did you know that #FishAndChip outlets sell roughly 25% of all the white fish consumed in the United Kingdom, and 10% of all potatoes?
With such a delicious, nutritious and comforting meal, we can understand why 😋 #LoveFishAndChips
When it comes to healthy chips, the chunkier the better because bigger chips absorb less fat. Chippy chips are not only better for your waistline, but potatoes are also a good source of fibre, potassium and vitamin C. #LoveFishAndChips
There are over 10,500 #FishAndChip shops across the UK. Collectively, these businesses use 10% of the UK's potato crop and 30% of all white fish sold in the UK to generate an industry turnover of around £1.2 billion every year. #LoveFishAndChips
Did you know that there are more #FishAndChip shops in the UK than McDonald's and KFC combined? We’re definitely a nation of fish and chip shop lovers! 🐟+🍟= 🥰 #LoveFishAndChips
Did you know that 90% of #FishAndChip shops in the UK use FAS fillets? These fish are caught in sustainably managed fishing grounds in the Barents Sea and the North Atlantic. Science-based and strict regulations have ensured good management of cod & haddock stocks in these waters
On average, a portion of #FishAndChips has around a third fewer calories than other #takeaway foods like pizza and around half the fat 🤯
If you’d still like to indulge but want to opt for a lighter snack, then choose a smaller item on the menu.
Can eating fish contribute to improving your #MentalHealth? 🤔
Fish is rich in omega-3, essential in maintaining normal brain function. Plus, it’s jam-packed full of B vitamins, perfect for lifting your mood 🌤️
