At Jojo’s Fish & Chips we care deeply about our environment and the people living in it. From using fully biodegradable packaging and recycling used cooking oil into biodiesel, to paying our staff the National Living Wage and supporting the local community, we carefully consider everything we do. One of the most important ways we do this, is by only serving sustainably caught cod on both our shop and Fish & Chip van event catering menus!
But what does the term ‘sustainable fishing’ mean? Well, it means leaving enough fish in the ocean as well as protecting habitats and threatened species. It ensures that fish populations continue to thrive in marine and freshwater habitats and means people who depend on fishing can maintain their livelihoods.
At Jojo’s Fish & Chips, we source our fish from suppliers who are certified members of The Iceland Responsible Fisheries Certification Programme. Why do we choose Icelandic fish? Because it’s truly delicious, natural, and wild. It’s a high-quality product which is enjoyed by people all over the planet. Here in the UK, we are the second biggest buyer of Icelandic cod at 16% of the total amount exported (France is the biggest with 24%).
Now we know the cod used in Jojo’s Fish & Chips is both super tasty and responsibly sourced! But do you know how good cod is for you? It’s recommended that a healthy, balanced diet should include at least 2 portions of fish a week, because it’s a great source of vitamins and minerals. Cod is also naturally high in protein, with around 20g of protein per 100g!
Whether it’s for our shop at Weeping Cross in Stafford or for our van event catering menu, we fillet our fish at Jojo’s fresh every day. We then coat it in our secret recipe batter and fry until light, crispy, and golden. All adult meals on our event catering menu are served with proper chippy chips and a choice of homemade mushy peas or chip shop curry sauce. As a finishing touch, our yummy homemade tartar sauce goes perfectly with our sustainably caught, multi-award-winning cod and chips!
