UK’s Top 2 Fish and Chip Restaurants Collaborate for an Unforgettable Fish Supper

The fish and chip industry was on full display this Tuesday, as the UK’s top two fish and chip restaurants, Knights Fish Restaurant from Glastonbury and Pier Point Bar & Restaurant in Torquay, teamed up for an exclusive supper. The event, a part of England’s Seafood FEAST, showcased the very best of British seafood while raising money for the Fishermen’s Mission.

The evening was held at Pier Point and was a rare collaboration between these two award-winning fish and chip restaurants. Earlier in the year, both triumphed at the National Fish and Chip Awards, with Knights Fish Restaurant and Pier Point securing 1st and 2nd place respectively.

Guests who attended this one-night-only event were treated to a three-course seafood extravaganza. The evening began with a sharer starter, a creative seafood selection curated by Pier Point, showcasing the local produce. For the main event, award-winning fish and chips from Knights Fish Restaurant, paired with homemade tartar sauce and mushy peas. The culinary team also included Charlie James from Pier Point, one of the Drywite Young Fish Frier of the Year finalists.

George Morey of Knights Fish Restaurant and Lorraine Arnold of Pier Point both addressed the audience during the evening, sharing stories of their respective journeys in the industry and their commitment to sustainability. The event was a perfect example of how collaboration can highlight the best of British seafood and raise awareness for National Seafood Month.

The event successfully raised approximately £1,000 for the Fishermen’s Mission, contributing to the essential support and welfare services provided to fishermen and their families across the UK.

The morning after the Champion Seafood Celebration, both teams visited Brixham Fish Market to learn from the market’s experts. They gained valuable insights into how the freshest local seafood is brought to market which highlighted the importance of sustainability in their work.

After the tour, they gathered for a fantastic fishermen’s breakfast, reflecting on the knowledge gained and the success of their collaboration. Well done Pier Point Bar & Restaurant and Knights Fish Restaurant!
