Are you ready to Get Yourself Shipshape?
Get Yourself Shipshape is our long-term commitment to making a healthy, active lifestyle accessible for all.
We want to encourage people to make small, realistic changes that have a big impact. Whether that’s dancing around the kitchen while the kettle boils, choosing a protein-rich snack, making time for exercise or increasing the amount you already do.
There’s never an end-goal to Get Yourself Shipshape; it’s all about little changes towards a sustainable, healthy lifestyle. And what better way to fuel your journey than with our nutrious fish?
To encourage you along your way, we’ve also hand-picked a Shipshape crew. They’ll be documenting their own health journeys, and inspiring the rest of us to move more, eat better, and feel great.

Lunch boxes for Kids (and adults…)
We would all like to think that our children have a perfect diet – eating lots of fruit, loving vegetables and avoiding junk food at all costs, but in real life there are few kids who wouldn’t throw away an apple for a treat any day of the week.
