THE fish friers REVIEW
10 questions with:
...Craig Buckley
As the winner of the 2011 Drywite/NFFF
Young Fish Frier of the year, Craig Buckley
is a familiar face to the industry. Having
recently opened his second fish and chip
venture, The Fish Bar at Sunnybank Road,
in Crewe, we caught up with him to ask a
few questions…
1. If you could choose any other job in the world what would
it be?
Have to be footballer – minimal hours, huge wages and girls on
tap!
2. If you won the lottery what would be the first thing you
would buy?
Difficult one, but probably a Ferrari 458 (pictured) then a
new house.
3. What was the last text you sent?
To a friend regarding my V tickets
52
4. What’s your
favorite film?
That would have to
be the Shawshank
Redemption
5. What’s the first record you bought?
I couldn’t tell you, memory like a sieve.
6. How do you think your staff would describe you as a boss?
Firm, fair and passionate… I hope.
7. What is your first memory of fish and chips?
More memories, it used to be a ritual on a Thursday night in our
family.
8. What’s the strangest order you’ve had in your shop?
Chips, cheese, gravy, curry and mayo – just wrong!
9. Where do you see Fish and Chips in 20 years’ time?
Prosperous, more professional, hopefully viewed
by the public as a quality, value for money
meal. Also with me in the history books as a
fish and chip shop of the year winner!
10. Which do you prefer Cod or
Haddock?
Haddock.
