Andrew Crook, president of the National Federation of Fish Friers and awards organiser, said, "While the challenges facing the fish and chip industry have been prominent in the headlines, the judges at the National Fish and Chip Awards are seeing how hard businesses are working to ensure the experience of coming into their restaurants remains second to none."

Björgvin Þór Björgvinsson, project manager for category sponsor Seafood from Iceland, also praised the finalists.
