Is it a posh chippy or a fish restaurant? Is it Greek or Turkish? Is it in Highgate or Archway? The prices say Highgate, but the location is a bit of a walk from the tube station of that name towards Archway (at least it’s downhill). The nautical decor and profusion of nets is somehow more Greek taverna than either chip shop or seafood restaurant, but the advertised beer is Turkish Efes.
In fact, the friendly staff are Georgian (there are clues on the menu in the shape of anchovies in the eastern Black Sea style, as well as Georgian casseroles). Choose from grilled sea bass, sea bream, salmon, tuna, swordfish, sole, halibut or turbot, with prices starting around £13. There’s a narrower range for poached or pan-fried, and to get your fish in batter, it’s cod or haddock only. Lightly battered cod and grilled swordfish steak, both cooked to perfection, came with excellent non-greasy chips and generous helpings of mixed salad with plenty of fresh chopped dill. The menu also offers meat, pasta and vegetarian dishes and children’s portions of cod or fish fingers. It’s not the cosiest place (nor the cheapest), but the welcome is warm.
