Scampi Camper

After piloting the sale of local Whitby Scampi as an "on the" go snack food at Seafest 2008 in Scarborough, Whitby Seafoods have decided to develop the idea one step further with a purpose built scampi van - the Scampi Camper, which sells delicious Whitby Scampi with tartare sauce in a cup.

The purpose of the 'Scampi Camper' is not only to promote the excellence of their local product, create a greater awareness of Whitby's fishing industry and raise awareness of the sustainability and health benefits of scampi; but also to support the Fishermen's Mission.

The Fishermen's Mission aims to alleviate poverty and despair in the UK's fishing communities, for both active fishermen, and those who have retired from the fishing industry. Furthermore, the Mission plays an active role in providing safety training for active fishermen. A percentage of each portion sold from the 'Scampi Camper' will be donated directly to the Mission, to help fund this worthy cause.

To support these listings the team on the infamous Whitby Scampi Camper, have been taking a number of high-profile shows by storm. The latest of these was the BBC Good Food Show in Birmingham, where the purpose built van joined celebrity chefs such as Jamie Oliver, the Hairy Bikers and Gordon Ramsey for five fun-filled days of delicious food and drink hosted by the busiest exhibition centre in Europe. Whitby Scampi was a huge success, bought by over 8000 consumers over the 5 day show.
