Fish and Chips are pictured before being served at lunchtime at Captain's Fish and Chip shop in Brighton on March 25, 2022. - Britain's fish and chip shops have weathered the storm of Brexit and Covid, and are fighting the tide of rising inflation but thousands could be sunk by the war in Ukraine. At Captain's in the seaside resort of Brighton, on England's south coast, owner Pam Sandhu is not one to normally complain. Yet the shelves of her large freezers are empty when they should be full of white fish ready to be dipped in batter and deep fried, then served to hungry customers with piping hot chips. "With the war in Ukraine, there's no fish left, only a small amount," she told AFP. "And prices have doubled since last year."
