The UK will run out of fish & chips– what a load of codswallop!
National headlines published over the weekend stated that the UK will “run out of fish & chips”!!
Thankfully, our iconic dish is here to stay. As the representative body for some of the biggest suppliers of frozen at sea cod and haddock to the fish & chip industry, we strongly refute any suggestion that the UK will be left without fish & chips.
Frozen at Sea Fillets of cod and haddock are caught in the deep, cold, clear waters of the North Atlantic and Barents Sea. Stocks are closely managed and caught in line with scientific and legislation recommendations for sustainable sourcing.
The news item was published in response to the recent International Council for the Exploration of the Sea (ICES) Cod advice for the North Sea. At FASFA, we support the call from Industry for pragmatism and common sense to be applied here.
