"I came to Aberdeenshire to make a film about North Sea haddock, and that led me to Calum and The Bay - we've stayed in touch ever since, and are still working together on various projects. I'm continually impressed by his commitment to using sustainable, local produce in the shop, and his fish and chips are absolutely first class!"
Phil Vickery | Chef"I worked with alongside award-winning Calum Richardson whist he was promoting The Bay Fish & Chips with Hankyu Department Stores at the British Fair in Japan 2013, 2014. ?Calum worked tirelessly and endlessly with the mass queues, he always had a huge smile whilst serving well over 1000 portions of fish and chips of the highest quality on a daily basis to the Japanese market. Calum's passion for his craft is shown in every way with sustainability first on his mind, the quality of his fish and chips with accompaniments is by far the best I have ever tasted, and I look forward to working alongside Calum in future at more Hankyu British Fairs in Japan as a fellow Ambassador and adviser"

We are looking forward to seeing Calum in Fukuoka and Osaka at the Hankyu British Fair 2016!"
