Endangered because there are fewer and fewer quintessentially British customers.

My Canadian wife loves fish and chips, but she noticed stateside that breaded is more common than battered fish, which she views as the proper way to prepare the fish. Heinz Malt Vinegar is the most easily obtained stateside.

All along the British coast, towns like Hastings are being squeezed by a cost-of-living crisis that’s hit the supply chain behind fish and chips, pushing up prices beyond what some are willing to pay for a humble, if comforting, weeknight meal.

The cost of diesel to power the fishing boats, the sunflower oil to fry the fish and the electricity to run the friers have all skyrocketed as a consequence of the war in Ukraine, figures from the U.K.’s Office of National Statistics show.

Whaaaaaaaa......it's what you've allowed, Terrilea.

Because of the war in Ukraine?! I doubt that!

Which reminds me of a joke.

The Inland Revenue Department, the British equivalent of the IRS, decided to make a visit on a man. The agent knocked on the door of a large home on an estate and a man answered, “yes?”

The agent answered, “Are you Mr. Keen?”
The man replied, “Yes I am. How can I help you?”

The agent responded, “You have put your occupation as a mobile fish and chipman and you put your income down as $30,000 pds. Is this accurate?”

The man replied, “Yes, that is my occupation. I am a mobile and chipman and my income for the last three years has been $30,000 pds in each year.”

The agent asked, “How do you explain your living circumstances? You live on a large estate in a large house. While driving up, I saw a gardener working on your lawn and I see you have a $150,000 Ferrari in your garage?”

The man replied, “Oh that. It’s easy to explain. You see, I wasn’t always this well off. I used to live in town in the project housing. I was planting a garden and, when I was digging, I hit something hard. So, dug around what I hit and I found a chest. When I opened it, it was filled with gold and jewels . I sold that for enough to buy my house and my estate and to be able to hire a couple of servants while still run my mobile fish and chips cart.”

The agent exclaimed, “That is fantastic. Do you have proof of this story, for our records so I can close your case?”

The man said, “Why yes I do. Just look at my large house, estate, servants and Ferrari to know that I’m telling the truth.”

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.

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.

“…the electricity to run the friers have all skyrocketed”

Windmills! Shutting down coal plants. Greeniacs in government who know best.

In the early 1960s my mother used to take my brother and me to a place in Watervliet, NY where fried fish was 25 cents.

That was a great price back then and place was packed.

My mother later sold fish for a living. She would not eat fish because she saw fish gutted in her youth.
