Isaac Levy, Temple Fortune: Every time we buy salmon I have noticed the price goes up a bit. My wife really likes fish, salmon in particular — she buys it in chunks. But if the price goes up too much we would stop buying it and maybe buy haddock or cod inBoris Katz, Temple Fortune: We have salmon every week, although I’m not familiar with the price. During the week we don’t have it so much, but on Shabbat we try to have fish at all three meals. It’s a big part of our diet. Rivkie Baum, Golders Green: I don’t eat meat, only fish. Mainly I have salmon but also tuna steak. The price of everything is going through the roof. I think I will still buy it, within reason, because fish is one of my main food groupsKaren Palaniappan, Hampstead Garden Suburb: We have salmon once or twice a week — the children love it. I try to buy some different fish each time, so I would not notice the price difference so much. Fresh salmon is so healthy for the kids.Sheila Lee, Temple Fortune: I like smoked salmon and tuna, but we only have it every few weeks, not that often. I have noticed the price going up but because I only buy salmon in small quantities it doesn’t bother me.I’d prefer salmon, regardless of priceRalph Silverstein, NW London: I have fresh salmon once a week and smoked salmon once a week. As people get more health-conscious they like to eat more fish. A few extra pounds in cost will not make a difference to meMelissa Conway, NW London: We used to have salmon a lot but we’re sick of it. We have other fish once a week instead. Something like sole is phenomenally expensive, so I definitely wouldn’t buy that.Haddock costs £7.50 to feed 3 of us — that’s reasonableNorman Balon, Temple Fortune: I have smoked salmon quite a lot — at least 2or 3 times a week. I usually pay about £5 for a quarter of a pound. The man cuts it specially for me — I’m old fashioned. I only buy wild salmon. I’d buy it at doubled in price.
