Weekly FF Catch Up!

Yet another nomination....

We found out on Thursday that we have been selected as a finalist in the Producer of the Year category (sponsored by Rowen Glen) in the 2021 Dumfries & Galloway Life Awards.

The panel panel of independent judges chose their shortlists from almost 400 nominations received from Dumfries & Galloway Life readers across 20 categories, in the sectors of Community, Food & Drink, Culture & Sports and Enterprise.

We are absolutely delighted, and even better yet the whole team get to attend an awards ceremony!

Christmas Sneak Peak...

 

Now i know its early, but i couldn't resist....

So, as you know i have been working hard on creating Ferry Fish Christmas 2021 in the background - it will launch on the 1st of Oct and we have lots to share with you.

As you will know there has been lots of scaremongering on the news about CO2 Gas & fresh meat. We can assure you there is absolutely not reported issues with supply. And whilst we are on the subject of Turkeys we are delighted to tell you that our Dinner Pack is making a come back this year!

All Christmas will be available to order from the 1st of October.

A couple of my favourite products:

  1. Salmon, our Salmon is absolutely unbeatable - our team through check each side for bones before they portion and pack it.
  2. Seafood Graze Box - Not sure if you like Seafood? Then give our Graze Boxes a try - fantastic value for money and super fresh.
  3. Halibut - All of our Halibut comes form Gigha, now i know it is expensive but it is absolutely worth every penny.

 

A NOTE FROM KIRSTY

This week has been a great week here at Ferry Fish - just one of those weeks where everything falls in to place and seems to work perfectly.

Aside from the normal day to day processing, picking and packing this week i have been getting my head around our new packaging. I am determined to make all of our packaging 100% kerbside recyclable and biodegradable. This is actually much harder than it sounds, especially when we are working with wet fish which requires packing in plastic vacuum bags.

So, i have started with the easy part - this week we have got confirmed designs on our new boxes, insulated liners and ice packs which we have been working on for a very long time. Working with a fantastic company in Scotland together we have designed packaging that is ALL 100% biodegradable and kerbside recyclable (even the whole icepack and liner).

I have attached a sneak peak of the boxes here -hopefully you should start to see them in 2022. Now on to the more difficult part...
