Alex Moore Sales Manager for Agrico said: “We have been working with Isle of Ely and Chippy Chat to champion best practice in regard to new varieties. Babylon is one variety which has already tested well in chippy’s across the UK. We are thrilled to be a co-sponsor of the Field to Frier Award at the 2023 National Fish & Chip Awards and wish all of the ten listed shops the best of luck. We also look forward to working with the shops and sending them some Babylon to trial.”

Commenting on the news, Andrew Crook, President at the NFFF, comments “We received such a high standard of applications this year, many have come as a result of the annual Isle of Ely Produce Open Day where they learn so much about how to choose, store and fry potatoes so we’re thrilled to see so many shortlisted from across the country. Congratulations & good luck to everyone involved!”

Isle of Ely Director Oliver Boutwood said: “This award is crucial for us to help educate shops on the basics of how to get the most from their potato supplies. Knowing about which varieties suit them best (this changes by geographic area), how to store and treat the potatoes and also making the best chips from what is available at every given time will help us all to serve great chips consistently.”

The National Fish & Chip Awards are hosted by The National Federation of Fish Friers

(NFFF), on the 28th of February 2023 at the Park Plaza Westminster Bridge. Seafood from Norway are the overall sponsor of the awards
