Celebrating the nation’s favourite dish: Seafood from Norway proud to support National Fish & Chip Day 10-year milestone
Friday 6 June 2025 marks a major milestone for one of the UK’s most beloved food celebrations – National Fish & Chip Day (NF&CD) – and Seafood from Norway is proud to once again lend its support to the event, which brings the nation together to honour the tradition, people and ingredients behind fish and chips.
Since its inception in 2015, NF&CD has become a key fixture in the calendar and, as this year marks its tenth anniversary, the 2025 celebration is set to be the biggest yet – an event that both fish and chip operators and consumers will want to get involved in.
Seafood from Norway is delighted to once again take part in the celebration of NF&CD, hosted by NEODA – the National Edible Oil Distributors’ Association – in marking this special occasion. NF&CD has played a vital role in uniting industry stakeholders and shining a spotlight on the nation’s favourite dish. This tenth anniversary is a celebration of the tireless work in championing the people, businesses, and traditions behind fish and chips – and Seafood from Norway is proud to stand alongside them in support.
As a long-standing supplier of sustainably sourced cod and haddock to UK fish and chip shops, Norway values its close relationship with the sector. NF&CD is a meaningful occasion to show support and celebrate the industry that brings this much-loved dish to communities across the country.
Victoria Braathen, UK Director of the Norwegian Seafood Council, commented:
“Fish and chips is an incredibly cherished part of British culture, and we’re proud to play a role in supporting the people and businesses who make it so special. Norway and the UK has a long-held seafood partnership and we’re honoured to be supplying high-quality, responsibly sourced whitefish to the sector. National Fish & Chip Day is a fantastic celebration of this iconic dish, and we’re pleased to stand behind NEODA and the wider industry in marking such an important milestone."
This year will once again see the return of NEODA’s London roadshow, held at Trinity House, where the Seafood from Norway team alongside event partners will be stationed, inviting the public to join the festivities and enjoy free fish and chips. NEODA will also be running a series of social media competitions in the run up to the big day for both operators and consumers to get involved in with the chance of winning NF&CD merchandise.
Gary Lewis, President of NEODA, added:
“This year marks a significant milestone for National Fish and Chip Day as we celebrate its 10th anniversary! Over the past decade, we’ve seen incredible support from fish and chip shops across the UK, and we’re thrilled to continue honouring this iconic British dish. Fish and chip shops are at the heart of our communities, and getting involved in this celebration is a fantastic opportunity to showcase the quality and tradition of this family favourite. We encourage all shops to take part and share in the pride and joy that National Fish and Chip Day represents.”
