This sharp rise has left many customers paying over £11 for their usual treat, putting immense financial pressure on both consumers and businesses alike. The National Federation of Fish Friers (NFFF) reports that hundreds of fish and chip shops are currently on the market, with nearly half of their owners describing themselves as “extremely worried” about the viability of their businesses.
