Currently, about 90% of cod in the UK is imported, mostly from Iceland and from Norwegian and Russian boats fishing in the Barents Sea, which have all gained MSC sustainability certification in recent years.
But now cod caught and landed in the UK will also be labelled sustainable. UK citizens eat about 70,000 tonnes of cod a year – 1kg per person – and the proportion of UK cod consumed is now expected to rise. Industry group Seafish estimated there are over 10,000 takeaway fish and chip shops in the UK, serving about 380m meals a year.
In Great Britain we eat an average of 105 kg of potatoes per person, per year which means that potatoes are in great demand right through the year.
The potatoes we use are from a local potato merchant that sources them from reputable registered farms. There are many varieties available depending on the time of the year. Please keep an eye on our news page & social media pages for updates on which variety we are using.
