Glenryck pilchards in tomato sauce

Where have they gone?
Been to all supermarkets in my area.
Been like this for a month now.
Any supermarket you know they are selling them?

Have you tried Asian/African shops if you have any near you?  I must admit I've not seen them in Tesco or Morrisons for ages, but these days I'm not looking for them anyway! Some of the asian ones in the world foods section of the M's or T's are really good, and offer more flavours

Sure I saw them in Farm Foods just this week.

On a more serious note, have you tried Morrisons?

Apparently there's a pilchard shortage due to reduced catches which is probably climate change related.

Thanks all.
Morrisons is my main supermarket i go to.
Farmfoods, nothing.

I had a couple of tins a while back from Poundland..... And yes they were £1. Not sure if they have then at the moment though.
