New RockFish restaurant shortlisted in National Fish and Chip Awards
Chef Mitch Tonks' new RockFish restaurant has been shortlisted as Best Newcomer in this year's National Fish and Chip Awards.
RockFish opened in Dartmouth in June and specialises in "great quality" seafood and chips. Tonks uses Young's premium frozen at sea cod fillets for his traditional battered cod and chips, which according to him, is one of the most popular dishes on the menu.
Tonks said: "Our RockFish customers are consistently delighted by our fish and chips and particularly comment on the taste and flaky texture of the cod fillet. Being nominated in these awards is a great honour and also testament to the superb quality of the Young's fillets we use – and a perfect illustration of just how good frozen fish can be."
In the same week RockFish was also named 'Best New Restaurant' in Devon Life magazine's annual awards.
This is the 23rd year of the National Fish and Chip Awards which are organised by Seafish. The winners will be announced at a grand final in London in January.
