Fish has become expensive
Its haddock not cod
Chippies increasingly use cheaper, shittier fish.
Most chippies are shit and don't let the oil get hot enough and use old/shitty oil which makes for soggy fish n chips.

There's a chippie 20 miles from me that has people traveling from all around Scotland to visit. All they do is use fresh ingredients and hot oil and they are head and shoulders above everything within 50miles.

Nope. Living standards and the amount of disposable income increased in the mid-late 90's. Even as these increases and living standards dropped since the 2008 crash, the middle-class sensibilities that they engendered persist. People want to try "exotic" food and, most significantly, people's expectations increased. Nobody wants rank, greasy chips that most fish 'n chip takeaways produce.
On top of that we seem to have been flooded with American chain takeaways that traditional chippies find it difficult to compete with. This has become increasingly so as fresh fish prices increased. American chain takeaways over-heads are so low, their profit margin's are so high, and they're able to maintain their cultural relevance by throwing millions at advertising campaigns. Small chip shops cannot compete.

There are barely any non-white people within 100 miles of me and chip shops have significant problems in attracting and maintaining a customer base.

The difference in quality between a good piece of fried cod and a bad one is immensely higher than between good and bad fried chicken. It's not worth the risk unless you're at a place that's known primarily for fish and chips. If you pop into some random chipper the fried chicken's always going to be the safer option.
Also fried fish is super expensive these days compare to other chipper staples, it's more a statement of the decline of fish & chips than chicken becoming more popular..

Picky British eaters primarily. As a nation we've succumbed to the US culture of consuming greasy nutritionally void goyslop instead of local foodstuffs.
