fish off the menu

I've been looking at some restaurant menus and noticed that there's no fish dishes , there used to be always, prawns , salmon or scallops, I was wondering if there was a reason for this...

Fish is orf.

I think fishmongers, not fish restaurants, are doing alright around here at the moment. In fact, a new one opened three weeks ago.
