Fish & Chips

The best fish and chips in London. The Victorian dining rooms, the family counters that have been frying for sixty years, and the shops the trade's own awards keep naming - in every part of the city, not only the middle of it.

Fish Central

A chip shop in a housing-estate precinct that also sells you oysters and lobster.

Sit-down restaurant

Fish Central has been run by the same family since 1968, in a shopping precinct on an estate off Old Street, and the setting tells you nothing about the cooking. The fish and chips are straight, and the rest of the menu goes further than it needs to - oysters, lobster, a proper wine list - at prices that have not caught up with the ambition.
