It is reported that the recent wave of pressure was produced last week. The British government announced that 35%of tariffs were levied on white fish imported from Russia from July 19 to sanction Russia, and about 1/3 of the British imported white fish came from Russia. Andrew Crook, a member of the British Farfront Flatflake Federation Federation, said: "These additional tariffs will push thousands of stores to the edge."

Fryuscuts often use cod, white fish, and black cod. The rise in white fish costs may bring "opportunities" to other varieties of fish suppliers. British Fisherman Organization Federation CEO Barry Dis said: "Costs will rise -but there is a great opportunity to increase the fishing amount of North Sea, such as black line cod and cod." A government spokesman said: "We know fried Fish and potatoes are loved by the British. We are working closely with the industry to reduce the impact of these sanctions on British companies.
