I don\u2019t believe in just buying any produce to use at The Bay Fish and Chips.<\/p>\n
For me, it\u2019s all about considering the full circle – sustainable food that\u2019s not just good for you but good for others too. It\u2019s got to be fair for the people who harvest it and fair for future generations as well.<\/p>\n

Making a difference: Choosing sustainable food<\/strong><\/p>\n If we don\u2019t take action today to choose responsible fisheries and sustainable suppliers, it won\u2019t be too long until some of our favourite food will no longer be available to enjoy.<\/p>\n So, wherever possible, I buy fairtrade produce and work with MSC certified suppliers. Local and sustainable fish is at the heart of everything we do at The Bay and our fish is caught in the North Sea from fully sustainable stocks.<\/p>\n By serving MSC fish and following MSC guidelines we\u2019re doing what we can to spread our message \u2013 that sustainably sourced fish is the only way forward.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Taking it further: The full circle<\/strong><\/p>\n But it\u2019s not enough to just be sourcing from a sustainable supplier, I believe it\u2019s important to also be aware of the full circle of all my stock.<\/p>\n How does it travel to the shop? How are we cooking it? And how are we disposing of any waste afterwards?<\/p>\n All of these decisions have an impact on the planet and by looking into alternative, greener options, we could all really make a difference.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Why is food sustainability important for me?<\/strong><\/p>\n There are many benefits in choosing sustainable food, but my top four are:<\/p>\n 1 – <\/b>You\u2019re helping to protect the planet by supporting responsible, sustainable suppliers<\/p>\n 2 – <\/b>Customers will respect and help promote your ethos<\/p>\n 3 – <\/b>You\u2019ll be noticed within the industry for choosing ethical produce<\/p>\n 4 – <\/b>You\u2019ll have peace of mind with the traceability and due diligence that comes with sustainability<\/p>\n <\/p>\n To find out more about the importance of responsible fishing and choosing sustainable food for your fish and chip shop, the MSC website has lots of useful resources and info.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" I don\u2019t believe in just buying any produce to use at The Bay Fish and Chips.
