Learn How The Whitby Fish and Chip Company Teaches Sustainability

The company will provide the students a lesson in sustainability for #fishface and earth hour.

The Whitby Fish and Chip Company will be offering Durham University students a first-class tutorial in sustainable fish and chips at a Marine Stewardship Council (MSC) event on 12 March to help raise awareness of sustainability. The event, held on the University’s science site, will encourage students to post a #fishface selfie to support MSC certified fishing for Earth Hour 2015.

Hungry students and staff can swap a tweet for a treat with taster portions of The Whitby Fish and Chip Company’s award-winning chips and sustainable Scottish haddock, while they soak up information on how to choose and cook fish from a sustainable source.

The MSC event will be the first outing for The Whitby Fish and Chip Company’s mobile trailer, run by the multi-award winning Fusco family, which own Whitby’s Royal Fisheries, the Fish Box, and 2014’s UK number one fish and chip shop and restaurant Quayside. The eye-catching trailer – the only MSC certified catering trailer in the UK – has a unique frying range with a high capacity, giving people a taste of Whitby away from the seaside.

As well as being Independent Takeaway Fish & Chip Shop of the Year 2014, Quayside has won recognition for its commitment to sustainable sourcing, becoming the first fish and chip shop in Yorkshire to get the prestigious MSC stamp of approval (only 12 fish and chip shops in the UK have MSC certification) and it buys its line-caught haddock from family firm Dennis Crooks, also based in Whitby, the first fish merchant within a 60-mile radius to also get MSC accreditation.

“We go right back to source to check that our fish is what it says it is, and "we only buy from sustainable sources – so we’re passionate about helping MSC spread the word about buying the right fish from the right place,” said The Whitby Fish and Chip Company’s Adrian Fusco. “And what better place to start than with the next generation!”
