    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

    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.
