Aldi has announced it has launched a new range of fish to support British fishermen and suppliers.
The budget supermarket, with branches across Birmingham and the West Midlands, launched the seasonal range today with the products on sale from Thursday, May 13.
Julie Ashfield, Managing Director of Buying at Aldi UK said
: “At Aldi, we’re committed to supporting British food producers. With so many challenges facing the British fishing industry, we spoke to our suppliers to see what we could do to help. “We’re delighted to be able to purchase this seasonal fish stock that might otherwise go to waste, and it’s great for customers too who’ll be able to enjoy restaurant quality seasonal fish at Aldi prices.” Alison Pessell, Auctioneer at Plymouth Fish Market, described the move as a lifeline for the industry. She said: “This is a fantastic boost for our fishing community as it represents a real lifeline for our crews. In more normal times, much of the native fish caught off the South West coastline is destined for restaurants across the UK and Europe, so the fact that they’ve been closed for much of the past year has been devastating.
