West Vale Fisheries marks 25 years of serving excellence in the heart of the community

Established by Mark Kosanovic, on the site that was previously Jacks Chippy, West Vale Fisheries quickly became a local favourite. Over the past two and a half decades, the shop has garnered numerous prestigious awards, cementing its status in the region, and was voted the Best Fish & Chip Shop by Halifax Courier readers in 2023.

In 2021, West Vale Fisheries reached a remarkable milestone by proudly serving over 150,000 meals to its cherished patrons.

During the challenging times of the 2020 COVID-19 lockdowns, West Vale Fisheries joined other businesses supporting the community by extending a helping hand to healthcare workers. The team delivered free meals to those on the front lines at Calderdale Hospital, in addition to delivering to all staff and residents at Overgate Hospice.

Throughout its journey, West Vale Fisheries has also had the honour of hosting esteemed celebrity visitors, including boxing legends Sugar Ray Leonard, Frank Bruno, and Nigel Benn.

Mark Kosanovic, Founder and Owner of West Vale Fisheries commented “Any business would dream of still going for 25 years when they get started, so this is a huge milestone, but to know that we are here because of the support and custom of local people makes it even more special. We could not be more grateful to the people of West Vale and Calderdale as a home who come to us week in and week out.”

As West Vale Fisheries commemorates its 25th anniversary, the team remains steadfast in its commitment to delivering quality fish and chips and remaining a regular feature of the community. With gratitude for the unwavering support of its patrons, the shop looks forward to many more years of serving meals for years to come.
