Funny how the consequences of supply, demand and market externalities like blocades and destruction of productive enterprise escapes folks. Perhaps current events will serve as an education. I do wonder that the British have not yet tried price controls and rationing as a way out.

Part of the Chinese fishing fleet...
They're catching EVERYTHING. If it's not edible, they kill it and throw it overboard or use it make into fish meal.

Supply chain snags are driving up the prices for fish and chips.
Media keeps beating the "supply chain" drum, to avoid discussing the real cause for inflation.
To: Alas Babylon!
That basically explains the reason for the demise of British fishing.

Cod is Halal. Catfish isn’t.
The fish has to have scales.
It’s unbelievable something as simple as fish and chips is too expensive.
Guess they weren’t kidding when they said “You vill eat ze bugs!”
To: Red Badger
Sure. Nobody knows who Arthur Treacher was anymore.

Basically any fish that looks like a fish that doesn’t bottom feed is a clean fish, Biblically speaking.

I remember having Arthur Treacher’s fish and chips, decades ago.
To: Dr. Sivana
Malt vinegar. Goes on the fish, or the chips? Both?
What else is it good for, I’ll have to pick some up. Old Blighty is a bit of a stretch for me right now, so no fish & chips.
To: Red Badger
Because Pakis and sidewalk poopers don’t eat fish n chips?

Between Russia & Ukraine, they supply the lion’s share of world Sunflower output, so they probably have that part right. And then natural gas - formerly supplied by Russia - is now at Boutique prices. That would have formerly been a cost effective way to run the grills or pots or whatever.

Ditto. Pure deliciousness!

I had heard about fish and chips my entire life. So when a few years ago I had the opportunity while in England to order it I did!
Imagine to my surprise that it was simply a Long John Silvers fish and fries meal!
I had NO IDEA, none ZERO nadda! that long john silvers was just fish and chips! Worst marketing every apparently.
To: glorgau
Endangered because there are fewer and fewer quintessentially British customers.
The article says the reason is high prices, not low demand due to fewer and fewer quintessentially British customers.
