We must protect the haddock at all costs!

Turning them into food doesn't seem much like protecting

Taking fish away from the Brits?! Now you're trully fucked.

Brits' initial reaction, though.

This is truly an outrage.

The Swedish will get their revenge for 1648 and force the British to switch from fried haddock to pickled herring.

What fish will we buy from the chippie?

This is the best summary I could come up with:


British fish and chips could be under threat if Vladimir Putin's Russian government goes ahead with ripping up a longstanding agreement with the UK.

The Russian government is said to be ready to terminate a decades-old deal with the UK that allows British boats to fish in the Barents Sea - leading to an accusation that it is "weaponising food".

Russian newspaper Izvestiya reported that the country's agriculture ministry has submitted draft legislation to ban the UK from the key fishing grounds famous for cod and haddock.

But the latest move from Russia over the Barents Sea might not have a huge impact on UK chippies as more fish comes from Norwegian waters nearby, Mr Crook said.

German Zverev, president of the All-Russian Association of Fisheries, told Izvestiya that the 1956 agreement is predominantly one-sided and does not have similar benefits for Russia.

It comes as Russia continues its invasion of Ukraine, with foreign minister Sergei Lavrov warning of "mounting nuclear risks" at a press conference on Thursday.
