A Look At Our Long-Standing Heritage
Meet The Family
Grimsby Fisheries stands for more than a national award winning fish and chip shop. There is a family run spirit to this place that has developed from its very beginning.
Located in the heart of Leicester, the shop has a heritage dating as far back as 1940. What is now one of the largest fish and chip restaurants in England was once just a tiny shop with a sign reading “Grimsby Fisheries fish, rabbit and poultry.”

In 1990, Grimsby Fisheries became the first fish and chip shop to serve salmon, winning an accolade for enterprise. Most recently in 2011, we invented the dry salt and vinegar rub that received national acclaim.
This product was designed to find an answer to the age-old problem of soggy chips and illustrates Grimsby Fisheries desire to revolutionise the fish and chip industry.
