Voted best fish and chip shop in the UK more than once, this Muswell Hill chippy - which has been around since 1968 - is something pretty special. Branches in Islington and Hackney Central too. Sutton & Sons, 90 Stoke Newington High Street, N16 7NY. You also need to try Mrs Sutton’s range of pickles - choose from quail eggs, shallots or red onion rings - and if you still have room she makes a mean sticky toffee pudding, too.

From its faux-rustic beach shack interior to the chirpy, chatty service and range of local craft beers it has the whole deal. But while it’s the fat, flaky fillets of moist cod encased in crunchy and chewy batter that earn Sutton & Sons a place in this list, that’s just the start of it. Poppie's, Camden, Soho and Spitalfields Sutton & Sons Sutton & Sonsĭanny Sutton - who runs this Stoke Newington favourite - also has a fishmongers in the area, so the high quality and reliable freshness of fish is no surprise. Accompanying chunky chips are of the archetypal ‘chip shop’ variety: not too crunchy, but strongly flavoured and fluffy - the fact they come in (fake) newspaper is a nice touch, too. Thickish, crunchy batter encases fat fillets of fresh flaky fish, which comes direct from Billingsgate, and fried seafood platters are also treated well. Though its retro leanings may have contributed to the popularity of its Spitalfields site - and the subsequent opening of other in Camden and Soho - it's the fish and chips that make it. To say that it’s styled so as to “recreate East End London between 19” makes Poppie's sound much more gimmicky than it is. Kerbisher & Malt, various locations Poppie's Poppie's We also like its breezy seaside vibe, though you’re at no risk of being pooped on by a seagull. Fat crisp chips (possibly the best on this list), pleasantly chewy batter and proper mushy peas all go in its favour, while the freshness of the fish being served is unquestionable.

A combination of quality and its central location will be to blame for a large cod and chips costing a steep £13.95, but it is worth it. Its fish is among the flakiest, well-seasoned and highly-flavoured we’ve tried, its batter is reliably crisp and chewy, and the chips are soft and fluffy.

This sleek and modern-looking Soho chippy uses a carefully planned blend of oils for frying, sourced only sustainable fish, and serves battered halloumi. The chunky chips are very decent too, but there are mixed reports on the rest of the menu (we've only tried the fish and chips).įish Central, 49-151 Central Street, EC1V 8AP Golden Union Fish Bar Golden Union Fish Bar It really shows in the flaky, moist and sweet-tasting cod that gently steams within a light but crunchy batter. It’s all about the fish - serving a range that spans grilled sardines, oysters and lobster - and as a consequence deals only in the freshest of the stuff. 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. Homemade ketchup and mushy peas are final flourishes, while the seaside-style decor sets the scene perfectly.īonnie Gull Seafood Shack Fitzrovia, 21a Foley Street, W1W 6DS and Bonnie Gull Seafood Shack Soho, 22 Bateman Street, W1D 3AN (alas, the Exmouth Market branch is no more). The batter is made using a Japanese tempura mix making it seriously crispy, while we found the fish within to be firm, meaty and moist.
