00:00In 2024 the cost of fish and chips in the UK has soared with some portions now costing over £10,
00:09making what was once an affordable staple increasingly out of reach for many. This
00:14price surge can be attributed to several interconnected factors. The cost of fish,
00:20particularly popular varieties like cod and haddock, has risen sharply due to dwindling fish
00:26stocks and the broader impact of climate change on marine ecosystems. Additionally, the ongoing
00:32conflict in Ukraine has severely disrupted the global supply of sunflower oil, a key ingredient
00:39in frying, further driving up costs for chip shop owners. Energy prices have also remained
00:45stubbornly high. The rising costs are also squeezing customers, for whom a portion of
00:50fish and chips is now a rare treat rather than a regular meal. It does beg the question, has
00:56enjoying fish and chips simply become too expensive and would you be happy to pay
01:01more to save your local chippy from closure?
