Masters Super Fish

This ‘proper’ chippie may not immediately impress, but beyond the initial impresssion created by mint-green paintwork, exposed new-brick walls and peach faux-marble tables, elements of character begin to appear. These include framed portraits of the original Maltese owners, signed photos of old-school celebs (Mark Curry and ‘Lovejoy’ among them) and personal and attentive service. It’s the food that’s the draw, though. Fresh fish is bought daily from Billingsgate, portions are huge and there are pleasing complimentary extras (three prawns per customer and a basket of sliced baguette to start; gherkins, pickled onions and the full range of condiments to complement the mains). Our battered cod was a generous, meaty fillet. The plaice equivalent didn’t quite measure up; although clearly fresh it was rather wet and overwhelmed by an oversized cloak of batter. Chips were agreeably fat. Several grilled fish dishes are also available. Custom is diverse, with a number of tourists and couples sharing the rather hushed space with lone cabbies and local red-faced businessmen. If you’re opting for a takeaway, order in the entrance area ‘decorated’ with hundreds of football match tickets.

Good review, not the best decor but the cod and chips are excellent and the staff are friendly. I don't normally ever feel like fish and chips but since I found this place I do now.
Accurate review. I thought the fish was really good. Very fresh, not greasy at all. Thumbs up!
Excellent food, the cod I had came in a huge portion and the batter was perfectly crispy and light. Chips were cooked perfectly also. Such a bargain too.
The BEST fish and chips in London.
Don't bother with Fish! or any of the other poncey new fish and chip places this is the real deal. It may not be smart or have been decorated smartly but it does serve top quality fresh fish, lovely chips and if you want something different they do all sorts of other seafood, not just battered fried fish.
someone at work brought some fish and chips, i tasted some and it was absoutely delicious, i went out the next day and sat in to eat, again, it was delectable. i have lived in London my whole life born and bred and i have never eaten such fresh quality fish and chips in ly life. my man is taking me there today for lunch again as i want him to try it. grat value for money!! i would give 6 stars if i could.
Me and my husband's favourite fish and chips restaurant in the UK. Fish is freshly done and you can still feel the juice coming out of the "meat". Really value for money considering the price (we paid 6.5 for a lunch) and the portion and the effort that goes into it, plus the starter and the drink. Highly recommended.
Fantastic place to eat for traditional fish and chips. Portion's are sometimes very LARGE size but i can usually clean the plate YUM. Number 2 in my London fish and chip shops and number 4 in the whole of the UK (and ive been to quite a few)
Lovely!!! You have to wait a while for takeaway, since they cook each piece fresh, so try to avoid buys times (e.g. Friday evenings!!) if you can.
Possibly my favourite eating place when I'm in London. I have never been anything less than 100% satisfied.
Not a pretty sight but the food is incredible and served quickly and politely. Thoroughly recommend it.
