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

Famous quotes containing the words food, service and/or industry:

    Now launch the small ship, now as the body dies
    and life departs, launch out, the fragile soul
    in the fragile ship of courage, the ark of faith
    with its store of food and little cooking pans
    and change of clothes,
    —D.H. (David Herbert)

    The more the specific feelings of being under obligation range themselves under a supreme principle of human dependence the clearer and more fertile will be the realization of the concept, indispensable to all true culture, of service; from the service of God down to the simple social relationship as between employer and employee.
    Johan Huizinga (1872–1945)

    It is while we are young that the habit of industry is formed. If not then, it never is afterwards. The fortune of our lives therefore depends on employing well the short period of our youth.
    Thomas Jefferson (1743–1826)
