Are you thinking about switching? Chips at No.8 have done just that and told their customers too

We’ve made the very difficult decision to remove cod from our takeaway menu from today. It’s a decision that we’ve taken too long to make if we’re being honest.
Sustainability and environmental responsibility has been a huge part of our ethos from our outset but recently we’ve compromised that through fear, that removing a chip shop staple, whose stocks were threatened, would jeopardise our already fragile business.
This week, that decision has been forced upon us. The price of cod has rocketed to levels where either we can’t make a profit on it at our current price or we’d have to raise the selling price to a point we aren’t comfortable selling it at.
We’re replacing cod with coley, after testing it thoroughly with the team. It’s extremely similar to cod in both taste and texture, so much so that almost all of the team couldn’t tell the difference in a blind tasting. It will be cheaper than cod on our menu and best of all, it’s one of the most sustainable, domestically caught white fish out there.
Historically, it has endured a poor reputation, but we promise you, this is a great fish. We wouldn’t have it anywhere near our menu if it wasn’t.

Great review of No1 Cromer including fish from Ramoen & Glacialis in The Mirror Spencer Gray
Hannah Giacardi

Cromer in North Norfolk was once a retreat for affluent Victorian beach-goers. Today, this delightful seaside town has retained much of its original charm and its world-famous crab is worth the visit alone.
