The 2027 National Fish & Chip Awards are well underway, and we’re incredibly proud to announce that, on top of reaching the Top 40 for Takeaway of the Year, we’ve also been shortlisted in the FINAL 10 for the Field to Frier category!

The Field to Frier Award is all about the humble potato and recognising the knowledge, care and understanding that goes into producing the perfect chip.

At Harrison’s, we believe that great fish and chips start long before they reach the frier. They start in the fields, with the hardworking British farmers who grow the potatoes we rely on every single day.

Over the past year, we’ve invested a huge amount of time into expanding our knowledge of potatoes and British farming. From attending industry events and learning about the challenges farmers face, to visiting our potato supplier and getting a behind the scenes look at everything from storage and preparation to what makes the perfect chipping potato.

But we also wanted to take that knowledge one step further…

Introducing Harrison’s Spud Squad!

This year, we’ve created our very own Spud Squad, a fun and educational initiative designed to teach the younger generation about potatoes, where their food comes from and just how important British farming is, not only to our little fish and chip shop, but to the wider UK economy.

We want children to understand that there’s so much more to a portion of chips than meets the eye!

Being recognised in the Final 10 means a great deal to us because it celebrates something we’re genuinely passionate about supporting British farmers, understanding our ingredients and constantly striving to make our fish and chips even better.

A massive thank you to our potato supplier, the farmers who work tirelessly behind the scenes and everyone who has helped us learn along the way.

From field to frier, every great chip has a story.

DID YOU KNOW? THERE’S MORE TO FRYING OIL THAN MEETS THE EYE!

At Harrison’s, we believe great fish and chips aren’t just about the quality of the fish and potatoes. The quality of the oil they’re cooked in is just as important!

🔬 So, what is TPM?

TPM stands for Total Polar Materials. These are compounds that build up in cooking oil as it’s repeatedly heated and used for frying.

As TPM levels increase, the oil begins to deteriorate, affecting the taste, texture and quality of food. Excessively degraded frying oil can also contain compounds that may be harmful to your health.

That’s why we’ve invested in a professional frying oil tester!

Rather than simply relying on how our oil looks or smells, we can now scientifically measure its TPM levels, giving us an accurate indication of its condition.

✅ Monitor the quality of our frying oil.

✅ Know when our oil needs replacing, rather than guessing.

✅ Keep our oil within our chosen optimum quality range.

✅ Reduce exposure to potentially harmful oil breakdown compounds.

✅ Ensure our fish and chips are cooked to the highest possible standard, delivering that delicious flavour and crispy texture you expect!

Because at Harrison’s, quality isn’t just about what goes into the fryer. It’s about what we fry it in, too!

It’s another investment we’ve made behind the scenes because we believe our customers deserve the very best.

Better oil. Better fish and chips. No guesswork.

Behind the scenes – learning what makes the perfect chip!

Today we visited our potato supplier in Birmingham to gain a more in depth understanding of everything that goes into producing the perfect potato for a fish & chip shop.

We started with a tour of the facilities, following the journey of the potato before it even reaches our shop.

We saw how the potatoes are washed and rumbled to remove stones, soil and dirt, before the skins are removed. They’re then soaked and chipped, ready to be delivered to fish & chip shops like ours.

We also got to see the huge potato stores and learn more about how potatoes are kept in carefully controlled, cool and dark conditions. This helps slow down the natural ageing and sprouting process and, importantly for frying, helps maintain the right quality throughout the season.

There is so much more science behind the humble chip than you might think!

For us, visits like this are incredibly valuable. The more we understand about our raw ingredients from potato varieties and storage to dry matter and sugar levels the better we can understand how they behave when they hit the fryer and ultimately produce a better portion of chips for our customers.

A massive thank you to our potato supplier for taking the time to show us around and share their knowledge.

🥁 DRUMROLL, PLEASE… 🥁

We’ve got some INCREDIBLE news to share!

Our very own Thea Coble has officially been shortlisted to the FINAL 14 for the 2027 Drywite Young Fish Frier of the Year! 🐟🏆

Last week, Thea went through the first stage of judging, where two industry judges really put her knowledge to the test with some pretty in-depth questions about fish & chips and the wider industry.

Well… she must have done something right, because she’s through to the final 14 in the country! 🙌

And now things get even tougher.

The next stage will put Thea’s practical skills and knowledge under the spotlight, covering everything from oil selection and potato preparation to fish portioning and frying techniques, alongside further challenges and interviews.

We honestly couldn’t be prouder.

Thea started working with us when she was just 15 years old. Since then, we’ve watched her grow in confidence, develop her skills and complete her Culinary Arts course at college, all while building what we hope will be a fantastic career within the fish & chip industry.

Seeing someone who started with us at 15 now named amongst 14 of the country’s most promising young fish friers is pretty special.

There’s still a long way to go, but whatever happens from here, Thea has already made us incredibly proud.

Now go and smash the next round, Thea! ❤️🐟🍟

Very proud boss moment. 🥹👏
