The main focus of our trip was to go aboard the Ramoen which is essentially a fishing trawler. Except you won’t see many trawlers like this around Exmouth. Not only would the Ramoen not fit into Exmouth Dock, it is bigger than the Dock! The Ramoen is a factory ship that lands, processes and freezes fish all within 6 hours of catching.

The reason Krispies are hosting this fabulous fund raising evening, where all the proceeds go directly to Exmouth RNLI (not the main charity but our guys right here in Exmouth), is because the RNLI is an organisation very close to our hearts. Tim is, of course, a volunteer crew member which makes me a volunteer Crew Members wife so between us we both understand some of the sacrifices that need to be made by both Crew Members and their families so we can keep people in the waters around Exmouth safe whatever time of the day or night they might get into trouble.

“I think some of my friends think I am a bit mad because I love my work here so much but work is honestly the thing I look forward to most in the week, even more than going out with my friends!”

As you can imagine we don’t need too much of an excuse to get you down to Krispies to enjoy some fabulous fresher then fresh fish and some of award winning chips be they traditional or our famous battered and we have some wonderful things planned for this year’s National Fish & Chip day on 1st June  2018.

At Krispies we get through a lot of fish – on average half a ton per week (more in Summer) and we want every single piece of fish we serve to be very fresh, very good quality and to come from sustainable sources. To achieve this we buy our fresh fish frozen! I know this sounds like a contradiction but the process ensures our Fish is Fresher than Fresh! Read on to find out more…

You don’t need me to tell you how important batter is to our business. It needs to be the very best quality consistently, to coat evenly, to stay crisp when cooked and it needs to work on our famous battered chips as well as our fish.

The environment and the amount of plastics in our Oceans has really hit the headlines in the last few months and rightly so. At Krispies we are passionate about the environment locally and globally and we have been doing various things to help safeguard our environment for some time now so we thought this was a good opportunity to publish our Environmental Policy so people can see what we are doing.

So, what are exactly are the Fish & Chip Oscars? They are the name we give to the prestigious National Fish & Chip Awards and they are designed to reward and celebrate the very best people and businesses in the Fish & Chip world. This year the awards were celebrating their 30th year so it was fabulous to be there, not just to celebrate this landmark but to actually win something too!
