Frozen cod and haddock fillets are used by 90% of the UK's Fish & Chip shops and also within the wider catering industry. FASFA maintains that the benefits of frozen at sea fillets to the food service sector include:

  • Consistent high quality of taste

  • Filleted and frozen within 5 hours of being caught
  • FAS fillets are ‘Fresher’ than variable ‘Fresh’
  • Available in IQF (Individually Quick Frozen) form for convenience
  • Species include Britain's favourites - cod and haddock
