As a fellow ocean nation, Norway is a proud supplier of sustainable seafood to British consumers, with a long-standing relationship providing a bounty of cod and haddock for the national dish.Sarah said: “The National Fish and Chip Awards are very important for us to enter for a number of reasons.

Firstly, it’s a very good discipline to go through, as the awards are quite rigorous, which means as a business, you have to really have your house in order.

It encourages us to keep on our toes.“Entering, being shortlisted and winning is a fantastic morale boost for the staff and validates that what we’re doing is right.
