  I was absolutely astonished to see the low votes for this lovely long established fish and chip shop. It’s a favourite of mine and I have NEVER been let down by the standard of always fresh cooked and delicious food which I go to at least once or twice a month It was a real gem to find as I am very fussy about finding a decent chippy. There is always a bit of a queue come rain or shine as this place is very popular with locals but it’s never a long wait as this hardworking family really keep on top of things and churn out the good stuff as fast as it’s needed. These others must either be from people expecting some kind of haute cuisine from a west end hotel (where they should go instead) or have an axe to grind against a competitor or something. The place is very clean and obviously well kept. The family are great and the value for money is fantastic. As far as London chippy’s go this is hard to beat. But maybe some people will like the national dish cooked another way I don’t know?The only possible criticism for any normal fish and chip lover is that they just uniformly do cod and no other fish unless you wait for quite a while. But that’s no real drawback anyway – it’s fast food. Also, the fish strips are a great treat for kids, small appetites or as a passing snack and I’ve never seen them elsewhere. I always recommend this place and I reckon you will too. Oh! And lastly, I’ve found that the take away portion are a bit bigger than eating in the restaurant but you can always ask for a few more chips if you’re still hungry. Don’t be put off.

  Coming from somebody that doesn’t like fish, saying that I’d eat their food all day means that it’s really amazing. I’ve been there many times, and always had fish fingers and chips for a little over 4. The food is greasy, as fish and chips is supposed to be, but the quantity they give you is worth every penny you spend at King Fisher, I always find myself with leftover chips the next day. The service is quick and the food is really good altough two of the cons of this place are the opening hours and the fact that they’re cash only. Not having my favorite fish and chips place open on a Sunday is a bummer, and they also accept only cash, which makes things harder if you’re ordering food for two or three people, as on average you spend 5-8 per person if it’s takeaway and more if you also get drinks. They have a wide selection of food that makes my choice hard every time I go, but knowing how many chips they give you, I always stick to just my fish and chips.
