Fish and chips, a popular British takeaway, has seen its average price increase by over 50% in the last five years, reaching nearly £10. This rise is attributed to various cost pressures, including soaring energy bills, tariffs on Russian seafood, and poor potato harvests due to extreme weather. Many chip shop owners are struggling with these rising costs, leading to a debate about the perceived value of fish and chips compared to other takeout options.
