We\u2019re delighted to have been featured in The Herald\u2019s ’20 things we love about Scotland’s food and drink’ article last month.\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n

The competition to stand out in the Scottish food industry is tough, with so much talent and choice throughout the country. It\u2019s no secret that The Bay has established a name for itself having been awarded the <\/b>best fish and chips in Scotland <\/b>title and working hard to maintain high quality standards at all times.\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n

Here at the Bay we\u2019re dedicated to what we do, from our sustainability credentials, the way we adapted to the pandemic and appreciating Stonehaven.\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n

Here are the ways in which we strive to be the best in Scotland in a snapshot.\u00a0\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

1. One of the best fish and chip shops in Scotland<\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Being known as one of the <\/span>best fish and chip shops in Scotland<\/span> is a great honour and one that we have worked hard to achieve, but there\u2019s not one magic thing that gets you to this status as Calum says:\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI think it\u2019s everything put together in the right way. One thing that we have though, is that although I\u2019m standing there, I can tell people exactly where the fish has been caught \u2013 the fisherman will sometimes send me a picture from the boat!\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/h3>\n

2. Part of the Sustainable Restaurant Association<\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

We\u2019ve always been loud and proud about our passion towards sustainability and being eco-friendly. In 2012, we joined the Sustainable Restaurant Association<\/a>, and since doing so we\u2019ve learned so much about making a restaurant sustainable, the various avenues you can take and how to maintain and adapt this over time.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Ensuring that you have <\/span>the best fish and chips in Scotland,<\/span> also means you have to focus on ways to better brand. Meeting restaurant owners that have the same eco-goals as us, inspires you to work towards these goals in order to do your bit for the planet.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

3. Embracing click and collect during the pandemic<\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Just before the pandemic hit, we took out our old kitchen and replaced it with a click and collect window and what perfect timing that turned out to be!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Undoubtedly, the pandemic changed the way we operated and by offering online click and collect<\/a> whilst our shop was closed, it meant we were still able to remain in our customers hearts and provide them food safely, even through a pandemic.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

4. Stonehaven becoming a greater tourist destination<\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Stonehaven was originally a busy and lively place, until people began moving away.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

However, over the years the town has started to gain back a lot of attraction again, especially with tourists. The Bay shop always had a healthy amount of tourists coming to visit after their stroll along the beach and the open air pool where the shop resides.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Over the last few years increased tourist attraction to Stonehaven, the castle and The Bay\u2019s fish and chips has helped us become one of <\/span>the best fish and chip shops in Scotland,<\/span> with tourists spreading the word and The Bay locals always coming back for more.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

5. The Bay awards – Award winning fish and chips and helping local charities<\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The Bay has been awarded various titles over the years, celebrating one of <\/span>the best fish and chip shops in Scotland.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The Bay\u2019s fame has attracted other famous faces to us, from the Outlander cast getting involved to help us raise money through a whisky auction<\/a> to us being able to donate to local charities every month as people get behind our campaigns and trust our brand.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The Bay has been extremely successful in standing out amongst Scotland\u2019s bustling food industry, as one of the <\/span>best fish and chip places in Scotland<\/span>. With awards being won, adapting to the pandemic using click and collect<\/a>, a devotion to sustainability and Stonehaven drawing more and more tourists to its destination.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
