Can't justify the price of Ollys these days. Always been expensive and recently put their prices up again to piss take levels. Rose's is decent enough.

Thank Cod for Ken.
Ken’s is featuring on a Netflix’s show about Fish & Chips in summer 2020 (no word of a lie)

Yilmaz top of rye lane near nigel road
will cook fresh to order
chips nice too

I have only tried Rose's and Sema's both seemed decent enough for what you pay.

Its more expensive Nowa days

Love an Olly's but I agree with an earlier poster: prices taking the piss!

Ken's good too but we've become big fans of Sea Master near the Rye for the crispy chips & freshly cooked fish. Worth a go.

Another vote for Ken's, though Fish on the Hill on Herne Hill also good when they cook from fresh, I go there when Ken's has too big a queue.

I saw them filming Jay Rayner eating Ken's chips on the bench on Half Moon Lane, apparently for Netflix with some american comedian called Phil Rosenthal, my new york cousin tells me he's a big deal. There's pics on ken's facebook page www.facebook.com/thankcodforkens/.

Let's hope fame doesn't spoil the fish.

My missus and I have been using Sema's for many years - have always found them very good - We tried Olley's a couple of years ago - didn't seem any better than Sema's - certainly over-hyped and not worth the higher prices.

I used to go to Ken’s when we lived in Brixton, but since we moved to ED I have been going to Emily’s Plaice on North Cross Road. He takes the skin off the fish for me, which I prefer, and everything is fried fresh. Pretty good prices. And he’s a very nice chap.

He is a really lovely man, but sadly his chips are awful

Agreed ! On the one occasion I tried Emily's the chap in the shop was great as was the fish but there was just something unpleasant about the chips.

I have Not found anything wrong with Chips at Emilys, They where nice and fresh, And tasty

But in my experience they are always limp and soft. Good chips should be crispy outside and soft inside, in my opinion.

Sadly, fresh and tasty is not enough where chips are concerned!

Ken's.

Ken's portion of fish and chips easily feeds 2 people.

Now head to Codfellas which is a decent walk, but the quality is really good. Been to Rosies a few times and thats not bad either.

Not northern standards mind you....

Went to kens after recommendations on the forum. Best chips ever

Another vote for Kens here, also very reasonably priced compared to most of the others mentioned.

Agreed. Ken's is a great plaice.

I tried Ken's last night for the first time but to be honest me and the cats much prefer Codfellas on Bellenden road by a country mile.

Its a treat

Its a treat NOT Regular thing
because its Expensive

Slightly off the manor, but by far my favourite
Crisp thin battered fish, I prefer haddock
Super nice chips.

Ocean Fish Bar
1 Westmoreland Rd, Walworth, London SE17 2AX

It’s on the same road as Arments Pie & Mash (which is good too) and 5 minutes from Burgess Park.

Or completely way way out of town, but if you’re in the area well worth a detour.

The Beer Fish & Chip Shop
Fore St, Beer, Seaton EX12 3JQ

Do you get it regular ?

agreed "It's a treat not regular thing because its expensive"

Can't believe no one has mentioned Emily's Plaice at 3 North Cross road, 020 8299 4840. They do lovely fish and chips, we phone ahead about 10 minutes before we collect and it's all freshly cooked and delicious. Owner is lovely too 👍

That's because it's ordinary but he's nice.

Who gets it Every Friday ???

I dislike Emily’s, it’s really not that good but that’s because I dislike ‘fresh chips’ and being reminded that’s what’s I’m buying every two minutes while I’m waiting. I stopped going there a while back.
