[QUOTE="Oldvatr, post: 2424337, member: 196898"] My local Aldi and ASDA stores have both stopped stocking mackerel, herring, and cod in the chilled section. It seems that these fish have been declared unsustainable and overfished by MSC who have suspended the UK Blue flag licences that allow these stocks to be fished by UK fisheries. Most UK supermarkets also signed up to sell the Blue Flagged fish so stocks are now running out. Apparently Atlantic Cod, Atlantic salmon and haddock are about to be suspended too. Prawns are also becoming overfished. The supply of farmed fish is sustainable so will still appear in the freezer section. My local chippie is getting ready to offer Rock Salmon and Dogfish fillets in batter instead. These restrictions are UK problems. Norway and other EU fisheries are still permitted to fish, but Norway supplies the EU and we do not have any trade agreement with Norway since Brexit. Apparently plaice, Dover sole and Lemon sole remain sustainable but there are environmental issues with fishing flatfish in UK waters - something to do with oysterbeds and cockles, [/QUOTE]
