Five star future for Five Star Fish

We like a good seafood story here at Telegraph House. I love writing Europe's Food Town in copy. I love the feeling of pride that it generates to know that this part of the world really offers something that few can match.
So Five Star Fish's £7-million plan to double capacity in Grimsby leaves a particularly nice taste in the mouth.
It is a great Grimsby success story. Founded by John Fenty, who will no doubt be regarded in years to come as one of the 'fathers of the town'. Two acquisitions on, and it may be owned by one of the world's largest seafood companies, but it is very much ran by a Grimsby lad in Danny Burton.
Our internet comment option generated some debate. No doubt it will be 'sold closed and shipped abroad' was one. Not likely. The beauty of the food industry is that by and large virtually all the produce handled here is for the UK market. To keep the quality high and the shelf life as long as possible it has to.
With Humber Seafood Institute launching next month, let's prepare to raise a glass... hear's to a seafood future as strong as our fishing past.
