Featured Food Business – Fish In A Box
A big welcome to Fish In A Box, that has joined the FoodLovers Britain stable of approved food businesses.
The FIAB team are based in Newport, Shropshire and provide a national fresh fish mail order service with FREE delivery in some areas and subsidised delivery costs elsewhere throughout the UK.
We’re not the only ones to recognise the quality of service of Fish In A Box – the company was a winner of the Heart Of England Fine Foods Special Diamond Award 2008; finalist in the The Seafood Authority Independent Retailer of The year award 2007 and a Slow Food UK Bursary Award Winner 2008.
FIAB offer top grade fish from all around Britain’s coast supplied by day boat fishermen in the main, including white-fish, oil rich fish, flat-fish, fresh water fish, smoked fish, shellfish and specialties. The fish is sent in overnight on refrigerated transport to the processing unit where it is prepared to individual specification in temperature controlled conditions and packed for dispatch the same day.
The head fishmonger is the third of his generation in the trade, he knows what to look for and always gives best prices on the freshest fish and seafood. It’s a complete service by knowledgeable staff, and we heartily recommend the Fish In A Box company as representing everything best in British food.
Jersey – land of flowing cream and cider brandy
Jersey cow says hi!
Just back from Jersey with news of my latest FoodFinds. Naturally the seafood is out of this world: lobster, Chancre crab, gambas the size of my feet…. (although being allergic to too-large prawns and lobster meant I could but drool as my husband tucked in). But who knew of Jersey wine from La Mare vineyard – dry, crisp and great with oysters, or their Jersey apple brandy, distilled from their own-made cider, or their ‘black butter’ made from their own – and local – apples, crushed with a little liquorice and cider to make a blackish-preserve that will make a fabulous marinade for pork…?
