It’s been quite a year for the Feng Sushi team. Our website is has just passed its first birthday and a lot can happen in a year so we thought we’d take this opportunity to look back over our first 12 months in the digital world. January saw the reopening of our Chalk Farm branch in Jaunary 2011. In February we joined Sustainable Fish City to lend our support to making London the first sustainable fish city in the world. With March came the news of the devastating effects of Japan’s tsunami and we fundraised throughout the year to show our support: by sponsoring the Japan Tsunami Fund, donating sushi sales to Japan’s Red Cross and supplying the sushi for the Japanese Auction in August. September saw us release YouTube ‘How to Make Sushi’ videos and the introduction of our seasonal menus. Then there were our greatest success stories: the opening of Billingsgatwhen we blogged on the market’s fascinating history, our presence at Hyper Japan festival where we were finalists in the Sushi awards in July and culminating in our becoming 'Winner of the Sustainable City Award 2011/12' in March 2012. This year we hope to go from strength to strength.

We are delighted to announce that Feng Sushi will be opening the doors of its brand new Billingsgate Delivery Service today, Friday 9th of September. Our kitchen is located right in the middle of the market itself which means that orders can be made up to order and delivered straight to all addresses in E14, E16, E2 and E3.

Here at Feng Sushi, we’re all very excited about the opening of a new delivery service in Billingsgate, but no-one more than our co-founder, Silla Bjerrum, who has a long history with the market, and prior to that, with Canary Wharf: "I set up the ever first sushi outlet in Canary Wharf, Nippon Tuk, in 1996. It was a concession of the Birley sandwich chain and I prepared fresh sushi daily on the site." Silla has been involved with Billingsgate Fish Market since 2005 when she began her sushi-making classes at the Seafood Training School, but before that she experienced the biggest fish market in the world – Tokyo’s Tsukiji market.
