Cooking With A Conscience
|
|
Due to the current environmental climate and the world-wide depletion of fish stocks, A SALT & BATTERY is switching to locally grown sustainable produce.
- Cod fish stocks world-wide as well as locally have been over fished in recent years. The UK has already switched from Cod to Pollock (both the texture and taste are almost identical).
- By switching from Cod to Pollock (which, unlike Cod, is a sustainable locally caught fish) we will more fully support our local economy,
- With exception to those few imported items on our menu the utmost priority will be given to locally harvested produce e.g. potatoes from Long Island and fish caught by local day-boat fishermen.
We believe the advantages will far outweigh any disadvantages and we hope you, our respected customer, will agree with our decision.
We would love to hear what you think – send us your thoughts to info@asaltandbattery.com
An informed consumer is a more powerful one. Thanks for your time.

Guess who popped in for lunch recently? None other than master chef and TV star Bobby Flay. Knowing how good our food is (after all we did win when we were on the show) Bobby and several colleagues dropped by to re-aquaint themselves with our delicious fish and chips. Nice one, Bobby! |
Another Satisfied Customer!

American TV chef Bobby Flay has a new show on the Food Network called 'Throwdown'. His mission - to challenge the absolute masters in one kind of cooking. In each episode, one of these cooks thinks Food Network is shooting their profile for the show. What they don't know is that Bobby is going to drop in for a surprise visit and challenge them to an unexpected cook-off in front of a live audience. At the end of the cook-off they bring in two surprise judges who then decide the winner. And guess who won? WE DID of course! If you’d like to buy one of our A Salt and Battery T-shirts visit our on-line shop by clicking the 'our shop' tab above. www.foodnetwork.com/food/show_bt |
