GB News: Local chippy forced to issue apology after staggering increase in price for fish and chips
A chip shop in Gloucestershire, The Nippy Chippy, has raised its prices due to a 60% increase in fish costs over three months, with large cod now at £12.50 and haddock at £10. Customers have mostly reacted politely, though some have been surprised by the hikes.
The price surge is attributed to reduced fishing quotas in the North Sea, with the government maintaining that current quotas are sustainable. Efforts to find alternative fish have not been well-received, and industry representatives warn that the situation may persist for two years.
