COD UPDATE FEB 2025
Having spoken with the National Federation of Fish friers and our fish suppliers it is apparent that Cod prices will continue to rise at an unprecedented rate.
The reason for such increases is due to a 25% decrease in the North Sea Cod quota for 2025. This follows 20% decrease for the two preceding years. These quota reductions are to preserve fish stocks and while such action must be applauded the consequences are massive for Fish and Chip shops.
I have seen a 35% increase in the cod price since December 2024 with further increases due early March and beyond.
As my Cod price is increasing, I have decided to introduce Hake, as a cheaper and still sustainable option. I will still sell Cod but at a higher price.
Currently, Brixham landed Haddock and Plaice prices remain stable however, Plaice is about to start spawning and I do not purchase this fish during this season.
I will avoid going on about increases in energy prices and the living wage and conclude by saying that these are challenging times for food related businesses.
Let’s hope we have good weather and a clean sea this summer.
