Belfirst City!
Fish City Win Environmental & Sustainability Category
The winner of the Environmental National Fish and Chip Awards 2023 has been announced, by the National Federation of Fish Friers.
The Environmental & Sustainability category celebrates businesses that strive to achieve sustainable and environmentally friendly practices and is sponsored by the Norwegian Seafood Council.
Fish City came out on top for its caring approach to the oceans and our planet. Fish City are committed to sourcing seafood sustainably; all of their cod, haddock, and hake are Marine Stewardship Council (MSC)-certified. All other species of fish are responsibly sourced. They were the first business to join Ulster Wildlife's Sustainable Fish Cities NI environmental campaign and extend this advocacy through a Kids Club and a range of educational initiatives. They ensure full food traceability, working with local food and drink producers wherever possible to offer guests a menu that is both flavoursome and healthy.
Owner John Lavery is proud of the fact that Fish City were the first business in Northern Ireland to pledge their support to buying and serving fish from sustainable sources, using sustainable catch methods in seas where species are healthy and thriving,
The top three, based across the UK in Belfast, Falmouth and Largs, had reached the final following extensive judging from an anonymous panel of industry experts.
Austen Dack Chippy Chat Editor said, "It is so good to see the commitment shown by Fish City. Not only do they show a deep caring for out planet, but they also educate others too." We wish John and the team well in the year ahead as they celebrate not one but two awards."
