A new industry report says the average price of a cod and chips portion across the UK is £11.41. The findings, published by Seafish, focus on the cost pressures facing fish and chip shop owners. Multiple outlets report that rising input costs are contributing to higher menu prices, including the prices of cod and potatoes as well as broader expenses linked to oil and energy. The Independent and the Evening Standard both highlight that these pressures are squeezing shop margins and prompting some operators to consider changes to how they sell food. The Belfast Telegraph and Yahoo UK News also repeat the reported average price figure and attribute it to the Seafish report. While the coverage notes that some shops may diversify their offerings, the underlying shared point across the articles is that ingredient and operating costs are increasing, driving up the typical price paid by customers for a standard portion of cod and chips. The report frames the figure as an average across the UK rather than a single local price.
