Not as trendy as a lot of the places above and not in the centre of London but when I moved to west London about 10 years ago I discovered Mario’s in Isleworth. Daniel if you are really searching for proper fish and chips you have to try them out. The reason j think I love their food is that not only is their batter beautiful and crispy, and the the fish lovely and tasty, it’s as one of the earlier posts mentioned, they know how to do chips, proper fish and chip shop chips. I’ve eaten at poppies in Spitalfields, i thought it was perfect for tourists, great Devon, Kennedy and òlleys Ard both overpriced, but none of them make chip shop chips. If I want crispy on the outside chips I can go McDonald’s, but for stodgy, soft chips and great fish, try Mario’s in Isleworth (and you’ll got a fair amount of change from a £10 note which a lot of these new ‘traditional’ chippies won’t do)

In reply to Max. I've been, Max. Very promising, with great dips and chips, but not yet where it needs to be.

Forcing myself to stop trying the Top 10 Burgers, I went to Fish Central for the first time last week.

I loved the restaurant and the service and the fish was exceptional – my friend and I had cod & haddock to compare and contrast.

For me the major disappointment was the chips – as someone else commented they go hand in hand so both should be right. The fish was so good and the chips were just “meh”. I can’t say I’ve ever found a F&C shop in London that gets both spot on. I would go back to Fish Central, so I consider this a good recommendation.

But if this is really the best that London can do, there is scope for someone to do better.

See you at the LBBFINAL

Agree The Catch in Chiswick is very good!
I’m sorry you’re recommending Kerbisher and Malt, though. If you try to eat there frequently (I live nearby) you’ll find it so unreliable you’ll never want to risk it. On their now-infrequent good days their fish chips are the best I’ve ever eaten outside Yorkshire. Usually, though, they’re just OK, sometimes very bad indeed. On my last visit, with my son, another enthusiast of the genre, we got takeaway and actually threw half of it away.

I lived in Islington for 10 years ending in 1996, only a few blocks from the Upper Street Fish Shop, the best! I’ll be back this winter, and tried to look it up but found only “The Fish Shop” on Upper Street. What a disappointment! I’ve dreamed of the old USFS’s fabulous cod & quite good chips, and I see that the new place (aside from being on the wrong side of the street) is a posh take on a fish shop. Oh, well.
