The iconic British fish n' chips industry, already battling hard times, could face further price inflation resulting from a potential "no-deal" Brexit, which would lead to new tariffs on imported frozen fish fillets.
Around 40-50 percent of frozen-at-sea fillets imported into the United Kingdom originate from Russia, so the imposition of tariffs on Norwegian and Icelandic product should not lead to a major price hike, Frozen at Sea Fillets Association (FASFA) Executive Director Malcolm Large told IntraFish.
However, any additional tariffs on products from EEA countries will stretch the already thin margins of the sector, said sources.
