Anew business in Lautoka has ventured in hopes towards gearing quality at its centre of business operations. Hooked and Crooked on Mana street Lautoka specialise­s in selling delicacies related to fish. Business co-owner Angel Narayan said that their concept was based on quality which would be a major business driver.

“Our Story is quite simple, we wanted to create a modern take on the very traditiona­l dish of fish and chips,” Ms Narayan said. What’s modern about fish and chips we hear you ask? “Well, a combinatio­n of our super allergen friendly approach alongside awesome world influences of flavour and taste gives a whole new spin on the humble fish and chips. “Our batters are prepared daily using only quality ingredient­s, our Fish and Fries are cooked separately using Canola oil and vegetable shortening in our fryers.

“Our ethos is equally simple. To make from scratch and not cheat. So no mass produced preprepare­d frozen rubbish that just needs heating up and serving,” Ms Narayan said.

Angel Narayan is from Hamburg, Germany, and Movin Shariff from Auckland, New Zealand. They got together to deliver the people of Lautoka, traditiona­l Fish and Chips in a modern atmosphere. “We think that the buying and eating of Fish and Chips should be a family affair which is why we’ve put so much effort into creating a funky, modern, family-friendly environmen­t you’ll be happy to take the kids to,” Ms Narayan said.

Both the entreprene­urs truly believe that Fish and Chips can be the tastiest meal when prepared the Hooked & Cooked way. “Excellent Fish & Chips doesn’t happen by accident, they result from our attention to detail, our commitment to always use the best raw ingredient­s.

“We make sure that every process and the decision is right for our customers, our business and the environmen­t. It’s important to us that you can trust us, the provenance of our Food,” said Ms Narayan.

They commenced with their business earlier this month in Lautoka.
