Frozen food giants Birds Eye and Iceland have teamed up to launch a new nationwide competition.

For the first time in Birds Eye’s history, it is looking for a real-life shopper to become the next Captain Birds Eye.

The lucky winner will replace Captain Birds Eye on special limited-edition packs of Birds Eye Fish Fingers available at Iceland stores across the UK.

The competition is set to celebrate shoppers across the nation who are “frozen food savvy”.
