Future of fish and chip shops at risk as they may be forced to close

Many scousers love a chippy tea from their local fish and chip shop.

However, some may find that they have to go without after the National Federation of Fish Friers (NFFF) warned that up to a third of chippies across Britain could be forced to shut down due to Russia's invasion of Ukraine. Four key ingredients - sunflower oil, cod and haddock, and potatoes - that make up one of the country's favourite meals have soared in price with some becoming scant in supply since Vladimir Putin's Russian army invaded Ukraine.

As a result, chippies are having to change their menus and pass on the increase in price to their customers. Eventually some of the businesses may be forced to turn off their fryers for good, reports The Mirror.
