A new report from the seafood industry body Seafish finds that the average price of a portion of cod and chips in the UK reaches £11.41. The figure is the highest level reported for cod and chips, reflecting sharply higher costs facing fish and chip shops. Seafish attributes the pressure on prices to increases across multiple inputs, including the cost of fish, potatoes, and energy, as well as wider oil-related costs. The report also shows that a portion of haddock and chips averages £10.29 across the UK. Several outlets report that shop owners respond to these higher costs by adjusting prices and, in some cases, diversifying menus to maintain customer demand amid tighter margins. While the coverage focuses on the latest average prices, it also highlights the broader cost environment affecting the sector, suggesting that variability by shop or region may exist even as a national average climbs. The findings are presented as an indicator of how supply and production costs are translating into retail pricing for a popular takeaway meal.
