The future of Britain's fish and chip shops is under threat with a stark warning that a third of chippies 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.
The National Federation of Fish Friers (NFFF) has warned chippies are having to change their menus and pass on the increase in price to their customers. But worst could come with the NFFF saying a third of fish and chip shops could be forced to turn off their friers for good.
