fish and chipsQuality food requires quality ingredients. For fish and chip shop owner Chris Pittaras, sourcing the highest quality ingredients for his business has been fundamental to running his award-winning Fish and Chip shop on Brook Road, Manchester.

As Chris can tell you, fresh fish, top quality potatoes and light, crispy batter are the key elements to creating a successful menu, but for the perfect chip shop peas, Chris only uses ELCO Soda Crystals to steep them. To create the ideal side dish to the classic British Fish and Chips, 2.3kg of peas are steeped in 190g of ELCO Soda Crystals and water for 10 hours, before cooking.

Chris' has been awarded a 5 star rating from the Sea Fish Organisation due to the quality of his food as well as the efficient and quick service, hygiene, preparation and presentation standards. Chris always makes sure he chooses sustainable options when it comes to sourcing the food he serves, the fish sold at Chris' Fish and Chip shop is line caught, daily from the Faroe Isles and Iceland.
