An award-winning Musselburgh fish and chips shop has launched a glass bottle recycling scheme for its own branded chippy sauce.

East Coast Fish & Chips Takeaway on North High Street has been selling more than 6,000 litres of its "famous" chippy sauce every year since 1974.

The new scheme is part of its ongoing commitment to being more environmentally friendly, bottling up its own brand condiment for fish and chip fans across East Lothian and beyond.

East Coast chippy sauce, which is served in 250ml glass bottles, is proving popular with fish and chip lovers.

Customers can now return their empty chippy sauce bottles, receiving 50p off their next purchase.

East Coast is owned and operated by Carlo and Katia Crolla.

The Crolla family has been serving the local community for nearly 50 years.

Speaking to the Courier, Carlo stressed that while styles may change, great flavours, family heritage and warm, friendly service remain as important to himself and Katia today as they did 49 years ago.

He said: “As an independent, family business, we’re proud to have served fish and chip fans from Musselburgh, around East Lothian and Edinburgh since 1974.

“Salt 'n' sauce has always been part of the chip shop tradition across this part of Scotland, so we like to honour that tradition with our very own branded East Coast chippy sauce.

“We’re also keen to do our bit to help the environment, so we sell our chippy sauce in glass bottles.

“Our glass bottle return scheme allows our loyal customers to recycle with us and to get 50p off their next bottle of chippy sauce too… even more reason to enjoy the ultimate fish supper.”
