At Fishy Fishy, we try and do what we can to help the local community and particularly our fishermen who do such a fantastic job! This month (September 24) we are working closely with Seafarers UK, the maritime charity, to help them fundraise and generate awareness of the great work they do. In Brighton and Poole, we are joining other restaurants to help fundraise by creating a special fish dish for the day and donating a percentage of the proceeds to the charity. So, if you're nearby and hungry on the 24th, why not pop in and help fundraise at the same time?

Fishy Fishy is coming to Poole - it's been an eager wait for the launch of the second Fishy Fishy restaurant on the south coast says Enjoy Dorset and Hampshire magazine.

If you launch a fish restaurant and you claim to know a thing or two about cooking fish it's only going to be a matter of time before your own culinary expertise is put to the test! So, when The Times Magazine brought the whole Fishy Fishy family together - Dermot, Paul, James, Dee, Alice and even little Oliver and baby Rupert - to cook up a feast for each other what did it involve ...? ... fish (obviously) chatting, drinking, cooking, laughter, a slight sauce mishap and lots of love. The food wasn't bad either - so much so, they photographed it and shared the recipes with us all. To find out what happened, click here.

When we heard about 'The Argus Ale', a locally prepared, limited edition ale produced by Dark Star in Sussex to help raise money for The Argus Appeal, we wanted to try it (obviously!) and to help them sell as much of it as possible!

So, our head chef Loz got busy preparing our most popular dish of Fishy Fishy Fish and Chips ... with a difference. Battered in The Argus Ale, we put added it to our Specials Board and it went down a treat. A local ale, helping the local community using locally sourced ingredients - a perfect match. Read on to find out more ...

The Brighton Argus met up with Dermot almost a year to the day since Fishy Fishy opened, to wish everyone at the restaurant a Happy 1st Birthday.

"Just one year after the launch of Fishy Fishy in Brighton, Dermot, Paul and James announce a sister restaurant to open in Poole, Dorset, later this Summer. August 2010 will see the doors open at Dolphin Quays, overlooking the marina and Brownsea Island, after a renovation by the close-knit Fishy Fishy family.

James will continue to oversee the day to day running of Brighton, whilst Paul will split his time between Brighton and Poole. Dermot said; "We're really proud of what we've all achieved over the past year and together with great feedback from our customers, that's given us the confidence and the opportunity to open in Poole. We're just happy that other people are enjoying Fishy Fishy as much as we are."
