Companies show their support with fish and chips!
The Fish & Chip Feast kicked off on Monday (10 October), and maritime companies will be getting involved and helping fishermen and other seafarers in need by supporting the leading charity for the maritime community, Seafarers UK.
This year the charity has support from companies, restaurants and chippies throughout the UK including DFDS Seaways, Seafish, Maersk, NYK Group Europe, Fish‘n’Chick‘n, Fishy Fishy and many more. A full list of participating businesses can be found at www.fishandchipfeast.org. The event takes place from Monday October 10 until Sunday October 16 and is an opportunity for staff canteens, restaurants, cafes, pubs, and fish and chip shops and their customers to raise much-needed funds for Seafarers UK.
Celebrity chef and fish fan Mitch Tonks is an enthusiastic supporter. At his Rockfish restaurant in Dartmouth he said: ‘Fish is the lifeblood of our business and it is important for us not to forget the huge effort and risk that goes with catching it and bringing it ashore. The Seafarers UK charity does a great job in supporting so many of the amazing people in this industry and we are really proud to play a small part in helping.’
By supporting the Fish & Chip Feast, businesses will be helping fishing communities throughout the UK. Inshore and deep sea commercial fishing is the UK’s toughest and most dangerous civilian occupation. Fishermen are 115 times more likely than other workers to suffer a fatal accident. And life for the 50,000 retired fishermen and their dependants has its own hazards, with inadequate pensions, scant savings and personal debt meaning no respite from hardship.
