Fitzgeraldo Posted November 3, 2019 Share Posted November 3, 2019 Where can I obtain a decent piece of fried fish (and chips) in East Dulwich? The pubs supply ghastly deep-fried, tasteless from frozen. The few remaining local ?chippies? that I have tried convert their fish to a texture-less sludge contained within a tepid coating of limp batter. Most of these outlets seem to thrive on sales of kebabs, burgers, pies and sausages. I adore simple cod-and-chips but haven?t found anything remotely pleasant nearby. I?d be most grateful to be advised of anywhere that supplies nice, firm flakey cod, fried in a crisp batter, accompanied by hot, recently deep-fried chips, together lightly sprinkled with salt and vinegar, preferably served in pages taken from yesterday?s ?Daily Mirror?.Please help Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/240956-fish-and-chips/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheCat Posted November 3, 2019 Share Posted November 3, 2019 I reckon Olley's in Herne Hill do the best fish. But as many on here will tell you, it doesn't come cheap....

sjsl Posted November 3, 2019 Share Posted November 3, 2019 Ken's on Half Moon Lane is closer to East Dulwich and much better than Olley's (in my opinion). Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/240956-fish-and-chips/#findComment-1380317 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clifton Posted November 3, 2019 Share Posted November 3, 2019 Sea Master on Forest Hill Road is good. Slow, but only because they cook everything to order.

Penguin68 Posted November 3, 2019 Share Posted November 3, 2019 Sea Master (Forest Hill Road) fries to order, the quality of their cod is good (firm, white flesh) and they're nice people. If you don't want to wait, you can phone in an order and collect. But they are cash only.

tomskip Posted November 3, 2019 Share Posted November 3, 2019 The fish and chip shop in the parade on Lordship Lane going up from where Barcelona used to be on the corner to Topps Tiles (opposite the old Harvester). I can't remember the name of it but it might feature brothers? Anyway, I think they are the best in ED.

picmicnic Posted November 3, 2019 Share Posted November 3, 2019 Am afraid I don?t find sea masters food to be that good (v. Cheap and nice people though).Ollies is better but with off putting pricesWill try Ken?s following this thread.

Spartacus Posted November 3, 2019 Share Posted November 3, 2019 The best tasting chips IMHO are cooked in beef dripping and because its boiling point is higher than vegetable oil it expels all water from the chip and seals the outside so the fat doesn't get in, where as vegetable oil doesn't seal the outside so quickly and the oil gets absorbed back into the chip.(Read Fat by Jennifer McLuhan for more fascinating facts of this ilk ) Now if you find me a chip shop that cooks in beef dripping (sorry vegans) then I would be a happy person !

worldwiser Posted November 4, 2019 Share Posted November 4, 2019 Ken's was recently listed by Jay Rayner as one of his top 5 ever places for fish and chips. Otherwise I also endorse Codfellas who I believe also do the dripping thing.

SpringTime Posted November 4, 2019 Share Posted November 4, 2019 Fladda on Camberwell Church Street for me as it's nearer. Not cheap but usually very good.

montassa Posted November 4, 2019 Share Posted November 4, 2019 It has to be Olleys or Kens...both are excellent - although fish is much better in Olleys - (having seen the fish delivery van for Kens - it wasn't always Cod that is being cooked!)

They fry in oil for Younger people and Dripping for older / elderly folk. Unless you specify what you prefer. Codfellas also have seating to eat in. I used to be a regular there but now have a eating disorderand cannot manage to eat a full meal. Large portions, reasonable prices. Too far to take away. food would go cold. I now use Semas.. 1 Min walk. Seems to vary but friendly staff and fish cooked to order. Large portions..
