The shortlist for the new From Field to Frier Award in the UK’s National Fish & Chip Awards 2013, organised by Seafish, have been announced.

Frankies Fish & Chips in Brae, Shetland; Superfish in Ashtead, Surrey; and The Boundary in Market Deeping, Lincolnshire will be up against each other at the evening awards ceremony in London at the prestigious Lancaster London hotel on 24 January 2013.

Sponsored by Isle of Ely Produce, the From Field to Frier Award recognises businesses for their excellence in potato knowledge, sourcing and storage, and their attention to detail and skill in producing quality chips.

John Boutwood, MD of Isle of Ely Produce said: “Our purpose is very much to be at the heart of our business communities and to champion their aspirations and to support them - that's exactly what these awards are about and as such it's an extremely good fit.

“We look forward to crowning our winner in 2013 and using the awards as a catalyst to launch some exciting new initiatives too.”
