From then to now, the Smales team has grown massively over the years.

What started as a small team has grown into a much bigger Smales family - so much so that we couldn’t fit everyone into the picture!

But we’re more than just a team; we’re a family. And while so much has changed over the years, that sense of togetherness remains at the heart of Smales.

A new fish has entered the Top Trumps! 🃏🐟

Meet KING Tilapia - the latest challenger to join our fish face-off.

Big on size, thick on the cut and made for a meaty, flaky bite, KING brings something a little different to the table.

A closer look at life at sea. ⚓️

We recently had the opportunity to step aboard Kirkella while she was docked here in Hull, giving some of our customers and team the chance to see first-hand what a modern frozen-at-sea trawler is really like.

From the sheer scale of the vessel to the work that goes on onboard, it was a brilliant opportunity to get closer to the industry we’re proud to be part of - and, of course, capture a few moments along the way.

A big thank you to everyone who joined us and helped make the visit such a great experience.

Have you seen KING Tilapia in the latest issue of FRY Magazine? 🐟👑

The feature takes a closer look at KING Tilapia from Regal Springs, its arrival in the UK and why it’s creating interest in the fish & chip trade.

From its thick, generous cuts and mild flavour to its flaky texture and frying performance, the article explores what makes KING different and how it’s being received by fish & chip shops.

We’re proud to be supplying KING Tilapia to the UK fish & chip trade, bringing this new whitefish option to our customers.

Could KING be the next big name in whitefish? 👀

There’s been a lot of conversation this week about ultra-processed foods and what goes into the food we eat.

Sometimes, simple is worth celebrating. 🐟🍟

Traditional fish & chips starts with just four core ingredients:
🐟 Fish
🥔 Potatoes
🌾 Flour
💧 Water

Add a little seasoning and cook in good-quality frying oil, and you’ve got one of Britain’s best-loved meals.

And it delivers on more than taste, too. Fish is naturally rich in protein, while a side of mushy peas brings plant-based protein and fibre to the plate.

No need for a long list of ingredients. Just proper food, simply prepared.

What a summer it’s been!

From trips to Norway and an incredible Hull City match to a brilliant turnout for National Fish & Chip Day, we’ve made some great memories over the past few months.

But as the seasons change, it’s time to look ahead.

With crisp autumn nights and colder evenings on the way, there’s nothing quite like fish & chips for the perfect comfort food. And we’ll be here to keep our customers supplied with the quality fish they know and trust.

Summer may be behind us, but there’s plenty more to come.
Here’s to the season ahead… 🐟❄️
