Chippies face closure unless we ‘swap cod for other fish’
The Independent
|March 13, 2026
The owner of an award-winning fish and chip shop has warned chippies will close if customers don’t start to eat alternatives to cod.
Andrew Arnold, who runs Railway Street Fisheries in Pocklington, near York, claims cod has become too expensive and cheaper fish such as pollock could keep chippies in business. He explained the price of cod and haddock has risen sharply, with a 45lb (20kg) box of cod costing 110 in December 2024 now priced at 330. Haddock and chips is now sold in his shop for 12.50, up from 8.50 in December 2024.
Mr Arnold believes ‘people’s mindset is going to have to change’ and suggests customers order cheaper varieties, such as Norwegian pollock, which he insists tastes just as good.
