Product Overview
Stepping up your kitchen's hygiene game starts with the basics, and this high density blue chopping board from Hygiplas is a brilliant place to begin. It’s not just a slab of plastic; it’s a purpose-built tool designed for the rigours of a professional kitchen. Made from High Density Polyethylene (HDPE), it’s tough, resistant to knife scoring, and won’t warp under pressure, giving you a reliable, flat surface every single time.
Specifically created for chefs, fishmongers, and caterers who take food safety seriously, this is a core component of any HACCP-compliant setup. The distinct blue colour instantly signals that this board is for preparing raw fish, drastically cutting the risk of cross-contamination. It’s the kind of simple, visual cue that makes a huge difference during a frantic service, keeping your team organised and your customers safe.
Beyond its robust build, the board boasts a clever anti-microbial surface that actively inhibits bacterial growth. It's non-absorbent, non-toxic, and a breeze to clean. If you’re looking to invest in equipment that works as hard as you do while upholding the highest safety standards, the Hygiplas F159 cutting board is a must-have for your commercial kitchen chopping board collection.

Expert Review and Insights
The Hygiplas F159 is the definition of a kitchen workhorse. It forgoes flashy gimmicks for pure, functional reliability. Its weight and density feel reassuringly solid under the knife, and the anti-microbial property provides that extra layer of confidence that every professional chef values.

Sophie Brooks – Chef Tools Expert View Profile →
- Pro: The built-in anti-microbial surface offers genuine peace of mind in busy kitchens.
- Con: Its professional-grade weight might feel cumbersome compared to lighter domestic boards.
Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
The Catch, a bustling seafood bistro in Padstow, Cornwall, decided to overhaul their kitchen prep tools to streamline their hygiene processes ahead of a busy summer season. They replaced their mismatched, worn-out boards with a full set of Hygiplas colour-coded boards, including the F159 for their popular fish counter.
"Having these boards has made a visible difference. The team knows exactly what goes where, and the blue board for fish is never mistaken. It's solid, doesn't slip, and our latest EHO visit was the smoothest one yet. It’s a weight off my mind."
Michael Davies – Head Chef
The upgrade directly contributed to them passing their environmental health inspection with top marks and reduced prep-station cleaning time by 15%.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Setting It Up
- Upon delivery, remove all packaging and inspect the board.
- Give it a thorough wash with hot, soapy water before its first use.
- Designate a specific spot in your kitchen for 'raw fish' prep to embed the colour-coding rule.
- Place on a stable, flat work surface. A damp cloth underneath can provide extra grip.
Keeping It Going
- Clean immediately after each use to prevent residue from drying on.
- For a deep clean, use a stiff, non-metallic brush to scrub the surface.
- The board is fully dishwasher safe for easy and effective sanitisation.
- Store upright in a drying rack to allow air to circulate around all sides, ensuring it dries completely.

Explore more from HygiplasWhy an Anti-Microbial Surface Matters
Ever wondered what 'anti-microbial' actually means for a chopping board? It's not just a fancy coating that wears off. The anti-microbial agent is built directly into the high-density plastic itself. Think of it like having a security guard for your board's surface. When you cut on it, tiny scores and scratches inevitably appear. On a normal board, these become perfect little hideouts for bacteria to multiply. With this board, the integrated technology actively disrupts the growth of these microbes, stopping them from thriving. It doesn't replace regular washing, but it makes your cleaning far more effective, ensuring that even microscopic crevices are less likely to harbour nasty bugs.
Who Should Buy This?
- Fish & Chip Shops: The perfect, dedicated surface for safely filleting cod and haddock before they hit the fryer.
- Seafood Restaurants: Essential for prepping everything from mackerel to mussels, ensuring zero cross-contamination with other ingredients.
- Mobile Caterers: A durable, easy-to-clean, and food-safe blue chopping board that's vital for maintaining hygiene standards on the go.
- Hotel Kitchens: A non-negotiable part of a colour-coded system for large-scale food prep, from the breakfast buffet to evening service.
