Eco tip: Did you know that left over "chip shop" chips freeze well, just spread them out on a baking tray, freeze them then bag up. So if you are coming to the Fish & Chip Supper on Saturday and you can't eat all your chips, don't throw them away, take them home and enjoy them another day. Reheat in a hot oven for 5 minutes and they crisp up beautifully!
