Pisces fish and chip shop was set up in the 1940s by the parents of the current owner Kipper. But lunchtime trade has fallen off a cliff, and Kipper and wife Julia can't agree on how to move the business forward. Their constant arguments have put a real strain on their relationship. They've drafted in daughter Juki to take over as manager, but neither of them are supporting her and the business is in a total mess. Can Alex get the parents to sort out the infighting and bring the daughter up to speed? Visits to the youngest Michelin-starred chefs in the country, learning the lessons of trendy pop-up restaurants from the Wahaca restaurant chain, and learning the importance of consistency from Pizza Express aim to help them transform their product and the way they do business. But with all the family pulling in different directions, will they ever be able to agree on a plan for the future?
