This seafood shack in Fitzrovia have fish and chips— beer battered North Sea haddock and chunky chips. The batter is made using a Japanese tempura mix making it seriously crispy, while the fish within to be firm, meaty and moist.

Fish Central
This old-school Clerkenwell institution appears to have barely changed in all its years of existence (it opened in 1968), and that’s a very good thing. It’s all about the fish — serving a range that spans grilled sardines, oysters and lobster.

Sutton & Sons

A faux-rustic beach shack interior, good service and range of local craft beers a stunning range of pickles — choose from quail eggs, shallots or red onion rings — and the delicious sticky toffee pudding, make this place really different.

Golden Union Fish Bar
This sleek and modern-looking Soho chippie uses a carefully planned blend of oils for frying, sourced only sustainable fish, and serves battered halloumi.
