If you can get smoked coley you can get smoked cod. There was talk of a ban on smoking or smoking additives a while ago, as they were said to cause cancer (what doesn't). I think artificial smoking might be banned or some substance in particular. Cod is rarer due to shortages in the ocean, so you have similar fish being sold now, I expect many chippers really use some other white fish and claim it is cod.

So for those 2 reasons smoked cod might be harder to get.
