Chip shops warn of fish shortage without Brexit deal with Greenland

The quintessential British dish could be off the menu if no deal is reached.

British chip shops could face a major fish shortage if the government does not secure a Brexit deal with Greenland, the industry has said.

The National Federation of Fish Friers, which represents chip shops, has warned that around ten per cent of all fish supplied to England comes from Danish self-governing territory waters which could be in short supply if there is no deal in place by the end of the year.

President Andrew Crook said that a post-Brexit trade agreement was crucial for saving one of the UK’s most popular meals, because quality Arctic fish cannot be easily replaced.

Crook said without an agreement in place in the coming weeks the industry will be forced to turn to countries who will be “having us over a barrel on prices”, and warned around 2,000 jobs would be at threat.

“The British fleet cannot be expected to catch all the fish we need. Greenland’s fish is a premium product and supplies some 10% of fish to the south of England,” he told the Sun.

“We must not let a deal slip through the net.”

An earlier TLE piece this week warned that staffing could also be an issue for the UK’s fishing fleets post-Brexit.

Since you are here

Since you are here, we wanted to ask for your help.

Journalism in Britain is under threat. The government is becoming increasingly authoritarian and our media is run by a handful of billionaires, most of whom reside overseas and all of them have strong political allegiances and financial motivations.

Our mission is to hold the powerful to account. It is vital that free media is allowed to exist to expose hypocrisy, corruption, wrongdoing and abuse of power. But we can't do it without you.
