Since the start of the year the cost of fish and chips has tripled and is now more expensive than fillet steak. Landlord Alex Cook said the cost of the dish had been hit by the Russian invasion of Ukraine and fears pubs will no longer be able to afford to sell it.
Alex, 40, now charges around £24 for the meal after the price of cod rose from £9 to £29 per kilo since the turn of the year. He has even encouraged customers who want fish and chips to go to their local chippy, reports WalesOnline.
He said rising wholesale costs meant the traditional cod meal was now 'unsustainable' for most British pubs and he believes it could soon drop off menus altogether, claiming that even exclusive fillet steaks are now cheaper to list for many bar and restaurant owners.
