Central London: Fish & Chip shop shortage

[brix]

Two excellent ones I can think of that I don't think have been mentioned are The Golden Hind in Marylebone and Seafresh on Wilton Road which is Pimlico/Victoria borders.

One of the great things about The Golden Hind is that it's not licensed but you can take your own booze along

Is that the one we went to after dropping Clayt off at the coach station? yeah, they were good chips, and good value

That's the place.

Can you remember what it was called?

The Seashell on Lisson Grove near Marylebone Station is very good.

It's quite expensive to eat in the restaurant, but takeaway is very reasonable.

They do these huge fishcakes, that are in fact balls, and massive portions of chips.

Is Goulston street in Aldgate in zone 1? - Happy Valley (IIRC) chip shop is very nice, not the cheapest but really big portions, nicely cooked. In a scruffy old street by Petticoat market. Sit down or take away...

Happy Days......

As reffed above.......

Central? How about Central St, EC1?

Fish Central Tel: 020 72518253 - 151-153 Central Street, London, EC1V 8AP

They really are good, but a bit hidden away....

Had chips and curry sauce from Rock and Sole Plaice today for lunch. Well good

There's a decent one opposite Mt Pleasant sorting office. Does battered sausages and all.

There's a decent one on Paul Street, north of Finsbury Sq. They do proper gravy and huge pies. Costs about a fiver for pie, chips and gravy which isn't bad considering the size of the portion.

I feel sorry for that big Greek chippy that was on the corner at Tottenham Court road by the Tube.

It was closed for ages after a fire, they done it all up and then it was compulsorily purchased for the new Crossrail station

They use frozen chips though.

Their pie fillings are brilliant though - pastry could be nicer, but I like 'em.

Frozen chips no good

I remember going there now and again, several years back and then it just disappeared. Then relatively recently, I walked past and it had re-appeared, but then next time it had vanished again. I was wondering if I was hallucinating or sumat.

IMO this is the best fish and chip shop in Kings Cross. I prefer to the one in Leigh Street because the oils they use are more traditionally "fish-and-chip-shoppy" somehow. Unfortunately its been closed for ten days now and is being gutted. I hope its a refurbishment rather than the end of the road.

I miss my fish and chips.

Eta Its at the top of Gray's Inn Road near the Scala

Its not being refurbished. It caught fire!

The best fish and chip shop in the area, Gone.

Its a conspiracy I tell yee.

one on leather Lane

[toblerone3]

one on leather Lane

Its a nice walk down to Leather Lane and as I'm defrosting my fridge I might just give that a try today. Thanks for the tip.

I rang Eddie to ask about this and they are hoping to open again but are waiting for the insurance situation to be sorted out.
