The Crab & Lobster Fish Shack in South Queensferry, has announced plans to continue helping raise money for a charity close to its heart – Forth One’s Cash for Kids.
Looking ahead to National Fish & Chip Day on 5 June, father and son owners and chefs, Jack and Bryan Coghill, plan to take part in an ambitious north, south, east and west “Flying Fish Tour of Scotland”, which will see them prepare fish & chips as fast as they can at other fish & chip businesses throughout the country.
Starting off in Edinburgh, they will head north to Shetland, then over to the West of Scotland, and down to Dumfries & Galloway. They will then travel back to South Queensferry for a celebration with staff, supporters, and customers. They say there will be lots of special offers at the restaurant all day.
The pair will ask for sponsorship donations through the Forth One Cash for Kids portal, which will include details of their challenge soon.
The Crab & Lobster Fish Shack is the current 2025/26 Forth One Restaurant of the Year.
“Giving back is important to us, and we’ve been supporting Cash for Kids since we opened, donating over £2,500 before Christmas,” said Bryan Coghill. “We thought that National Fish & Chip Day would be the ideal day to do something ambitious, to grab the headlines, as that is the National Day when we all celebrate what has become our favourite dish.”
“We have called upon all our friends in the industry to help us put this challenge together, mapping out which fish and chip businesses are best for us to travel to. We want to travel to all four corners of the country, It will be a very early start, but well worth it!” continued Bryan.
Commenting from Cash for Kids, Alex Wilson, Corporate Fundraising Executive, said: “We’d like to thank The Crab & Lobster Fish Shack for their continuing support of Cash for Kids. So far, in only eight months of opening, and with support from the customers at their sister restaurant, Jack ‘O’ Bryan’s, they’ve managed to make regular donations to us which have really helped. This Flying Fish Tour, across Scotland, is absolutely fantastic, and will put them, and National Fish & Chip Day in the spotlight, as well as Cash for Kids. We are sure that Radio Forth listeners, together with Jack and Bryan’s loyal customers and suppliers, will all be keen to get behind this and support them in this ambitious quest.”
