With an international council now on the brink of declaring the species unsustainable – and Brexit looming – what is the future for one of the nation’s favourite meals?

Le Royaume-Uni consomme environ 115 000 tonnes de cabillaud par an. Seules 15 000 tonnes proviennent de la mer du Nord, le reste étant importé principalement des terres fertiles de la mer de Barents, de Norvège et d'Islande. Mais l'espèce revêt une importance symbolique énorme pour l'industrie de la pêche britannique, qui emploie environ 24 000 personnes, dont plus de la moitié travaillent en Écosse.
