There will also be an opportunity to meet with the Norwegian fishing industry and study the science behind the country’s successful fishery management programme.
Organised by The National Federation of Fish Friers (NFFF) and hosted by Jason Manford, The National Fish and Chip Awards celebrate the best of fish and chips in Britain and will take place on February 28, 2023, at the Park Plaza Westminster Bridge.
Among the finalists is Doncaster’s very own Auckley Friery.
Andrew Crook, President at the NFFF, said “We’re delighted to announce the news about the Norway trip – it’s an excellent opportunity for the winners to learn all about Norway’s rich seafood heritage and understand why the Norwegian fishing industry is regarded as such a pioneer in sustainable fishing practices. This has added a real element of excitement to the day and we can’t wait to see it all come together. Bring on the 28th!”

We are extremely excited to welcome the category award winners to Norway later in the year to experience cod and haddock fishing in Norway’s cold, clear waters first hand. What better way to understand the importance of origin – especially when preparing the nation’s favourite dish.”
