Cornish fish and chips best in the UK - almost!

Camelford based Peck'ish Fish and Chip shop in North Cornwall have gained second place in this year's Seafish industry awards!

Robert Peck began his career in the mid 90s working in his local fish and chip shop as an assistant fryer.

In 1998 he set up his own mobile fish and chip business serving the villages of North Dorset. The business grew to such a point that Rob was able to sell it and buy his own takeaway and restaurant in Bournemouth. This business was then refurbished and became a great success but by 2008 it was time to move on.

Rob and his wife Louise moved to Camelford in November of 2008 and took ownership of the town's fish and chip shop. After being refurbished and rebranded as 'Peckish' it reopened in mid January 2009 and has thrived ever since.

In June of the same year Peckish became the first fish and chip shop in North Cornwall to obtain the 5-star Fryers Quality Award. this is the highest accolade Seafish give.
