Officials from Sweden are reporting that lingering pollution in the Baltic Sea from the 2022 Nord Stream Pipeline explosions are to blame for what they describe as “severe” Red Swedish Fish shortages heading into the upcoming holiday season.
According to reports, contaminates from the 2022 disaster began hitting Swedish shores before last year’s holidays and began to rashly affect the gelatinous fish populations near Malmö, where the most popular red species thrives. By mid 2023, fishermen were pulling up empty nets and Sweden began to blow through the national Swedish Fish reserves. Considered by insiders to be an impending all-out Swedish Fish Famine, officials say that remaining Red fish reserves will be released throughout the year in order to distribute them before they become stale, but that prices are expected to jump as the supply cannot possibly meet up with demand.
While the famine is expected to dry up Red Swedish Fish reserves, reports indicate that Yellow and Green — the flavors that no one eats —- will be largely unaffected thanks to successful fishing in other regions. It is the Red fish, however, that is considered the backbone of the Swedish economy, and a Swedish Fish famine — even one affecting only the red fish — could wreak serious harm on the Swedish economy.
Officials from Denmark, who release the similar but less-popular Dutch Fish brand, have reported an uptick in their own red fish sales projections ahead of this coming holiday season.
