The owners of a supertrawler have hit out at the collapse of fishing talks with Norway, which has left hundreds of crewmen without work.
The failure to reach a deal means fish and chip shops will be selling Arctic cod imported from Norway rather than landed in Britain, UK Fisheries said.
Its giant vessel Kirkella, which normally catches around 10% of all the fish sold in the UKâs chip shops, is now tied up in Hull without any viable long-term opportunities.
But to provide British fish for chippies, the Kirkella needs access to quotas from the Faroe Islands, Greenland and Norway.
