Croft Street Fisheries in Farsley has again gained its place amongst the UK’s top fish and chip shops by achieving the prestigious NFFF Quality Accreditation.
The National Federation of Fish Friers (NFFF), the trade body that represents the nation’s fish and chip shops, runs the scheme as a way of raising standards within and enhancing the profile of the fish and chip industry.
The scheme is a way of rewarding and promoting shops that provide good quality products and high standards of hygiene, as well as friers who show a high level of competence.
Croft Street Fisheries said: “We are delighted to gain our place in the scheme once again. To be recognised as one of the top fish and chip shops by the NFFF is indeed an honour and a credit to our hardworking staff, who I would like to offer my sincere thanks for their continued hard work and efforts to maintain our excellent reputation.
“I would like to thank all our customers, new and old. The support and encouragement they have offered has been great. It has motivated us to maintain our high standards, which have been recognised with this accreditation.”
To qualify, each shop must go through a virtual inspection by an NFFF Approved Assessor, who assesses the shop’s presentation, hygiene and cleanliness, staff training, equipment, frying and sales skills and most importantly the quality of the cooked product.
NFFF President Andrew Crook said: “Croft Street Fisheries has proven that it consistently serves some of the UK’s finest fish and chips.
“The Quality Accreditation scheme is extremely comprehensive. Food safety is a key area that we examine together with other key aspects of the business including the preparation and cooking equipment, to the management of paperwork and the traceability of fish.
‘’Croft Street Fisheries clearly takes pride in where it sources its fish and potatoes from.”
Each Fish and Chip Quality Accreditation is valid for a year, and retention is dependent on standards being maintained as validated by NFFF officials and appointed assessors.
