We know we\u2019re lucky at The Bay Fish & Chips.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Being based in Stonehaven and next to the North Sea means we have so many top quality local suppliers on our doorstep.<\/p>\n

Sourcing local – and where possible sustainable produce – is at the heart of everything we do. In my opinion there\u2019s no better feeling than knowing you\u2019re serving up food that\u2019s grown and produced just round the corner.<\/p>\n

Sustainable, succulent fish<\/strong><\/h3>\n

\"Local<\/a><\/p>\n

We\u2019re proud to work with the MSC-certified Coupers Seafoods<\/span><\/a>, based in Aberdeen, to serve the freshest fish from sustainable North Sea stocks all year round.<\/p>\n

Our prized langoustines and squid are both sourced from Harvester, located just down the road in the nearby town of Gourdon.<\/p>\n

And a little further afield in the Isle of Mull is the family-run Ethical Shellfish Company<\/span><\/a> who provide our hand-dived scallops.<\/p>\n

You\u2019ll often also find me heading to the fish market early morning to choose the freshest in-season fish for our Catch of the Day specials.<\/p>\n

I always choose local suppliers who have the same focus as The Bay in terms of sustainability and responsibility, such as Amity Scampi<\/span><\/a> who are based in Peterhead.<\/p>\n

Meat, dairy and everything in between<\/strong><\/h3>\n

\"Local<\/a><\/p>\n

From our award-winning butcher John Davidsons<\/span><\/a> based in Inverurie to The Bread Guy<\/span><\/a> in Aberdeen and Graham\u2019s Family Dairy<\/span><\/a> in Bridge of Allan, we make a real effort to support and supply Scottish produce at The Bay.<\/p>\n

Even our coffee is sourced from the fairtrade Caber Coffee Company<\/span><\/a> in Aberdeen and our moreish shortbread is from the local Dean\u2019s<\/a><\/span>.<\/p>\n

Why choose to source locally?<\/strong><\/h3>\n

When choosing your shop\u2019s equipment and produce, taking the time and effort to research into local suppliers will benefit your fish and chip shop by:<\/p>\n

1 – Reducing your food miles<\/p>\n

2 – Keeping your food as fresh as possible<\/p>\n

3 – Supporting the local economy<\/p>\n

4 – Giving you an angle to push in your marketing<\/p>\n

5 – Helping to raise business awareness in your community<\/p>\n

It also works both ways, a few of our suppliers also support The Bay Fish & Chips by stocking and selling our batter. So never underestimate the power of a good partnership!<\/p>\n
