This has been done via donations in our large charity spinner box.

The RNMDSF is a charity who support the families, widows and children, of the fishermen who are lost and injured at sea. The real cost of fishing is their lives.

Therefore, Fryz is proud to use only locally sourced potatoes for our award winning chips.

Now, as well as being displayed in the shop, you can keep up to date with where our potatoes are sourced from by looking at our regularly updated interactive map at http://www.fryz.co.uk/spuds. The source of potatoes we are currently using is marked in green.

This summer we set ourselves a simple self-imposed sustainability target for 2011 - to spread the fish we sell more evenly over the species we offer. We wanted to see if our customers were able to respond to call to "try something different next time you have fish and chips".

As Cod is the most popular species that sell, we set ourselves a target that Cod should be 65% of all fish products we sell by the end of 2011. Our progress is as follows:

  • August: 73% of all fish sold was Cod;
  • September: 69% of all fish sold was Cod;
  • October: 68% of all fish sold was Cod.
Fryz sustainability target

As you can see, customers have responded really well and have reduced the statistic by 5 percentage points. Well done and keep up the good work! The November result will be up in the shop very soon, and stay tuned to see if we hit our 2011 target.
