Fish and chips in ED

Recommended Posts

Maybe Emily's guy needs a lesson in 'twice cooking' his chips and selecting the correct potato variety? There's definitely a gap in the local crispy chip market. TBH when it comes to fish and chips nobody really gives a stuff about the fish. It's all about the chips.

A little bit out of ED but well worth the trip. Oceans Fish Bar at 1 Westmoreland Road, just of Walworth Road and a door or two away from Arment's Pie and Mash. Run by two young Cypriot boys who used to work for that other excellent place in Archway Nth London


By far the lightest thinest crispest batter anywhere, super fresh fish and good chips too. Mind I only eat about 1/2 a dozen along with a good helping of mushy pease. They cook Haddock to order but Cod is always on the go


It's very clean and fresh too, I make the drive from Sydenham to eat there


That place on Camberwell Church street is rank, maybe it's the miserable face and grubbiness that does it. Never again......NEVER

I lived down South for many years before moving to London and one thing you could buy in every chip shop was pea fritters. Being vegetarian, I ate these on a regular basis instead of fish. Most people had them as an accompaniment to their fish & chips.


When I moved here I asked for them in a local chippy & they didn't know what I was talking about.


'Mushy peas?' they asked. 'No' I said 'pea fritters which are mushy peas deep fried in batter'


I was told by one shop that I'd be lucky to find them anywhere in London. So if anyone knows of the nearest place I could get some, I'd be very grateful. They are so nice!

On the outskirts of ED. The Allanwater Cafe, Bridge of Allan, Stirling!. Superb if you are ever passing. Black pudding supper is a thing of rare beauty. Man I could kill for one of them right now...


Are there no Scottish chippies in London? Would be a regualr for me if there was. A completly different beast to the chippies down here.

OMG. Just looked at their menu & looks like you are right.


I've never even been there before, just walk past most days & had a brief look at their main courses, but never noticed their sides.


They have loads of good reviews and are always busy.


Thank-you for letting me know.

Convened by The Hague Group and co-chaired by the governments of Colombia and South Africa, the Emergency Conference on Palestine brought together 30 states for two days of intensive deliberation — and emerged with a concrete, coordinated six-point plan to restrain Israel’s war machine and uphold international law. States took up the call from their host, Colombian President and Progressive International Council Member Gustavo Petro, who had urged them to be “protagonists together.” Twelve governments signed onto the measures immediately. The rest now have a deadline: 20 September 2025, on the eve of the United Nations General Assembly. The unprecedented six measures commit states to:     Prevent military and dual use exports to Israel.     Refuse Israeli weapons transfers at their ports.     Prevent vessels carrying weapons to Israel under their national flags.     Review all public contracts to prevent public institutions and funds from supporting Israel’s illegal occupation.     Pursue justice for international crimes.     Support universal jurisdiction to hold perpetrators accountable. “We came to Bogotá to make history — and we did,” said Colombian President Gustavo Petro. “Together, we have begun the work of ending the era of impunity. These measures show that we will no longer allow international law to be treated as optional, or Palestinian life as disposable.” The measures are not symbolic. They are grounded in binding obligations under international law — including the International Court of Justice’s July 2024 advisory opinion declaring Israel’s occupation unlawful, and September 2024’s UN General Assembly Resolution ES-10/24, which gave states a 12-month deadline to act. UN Special Rapporteur on the situation of human rights in the occupied Palestinian territory Francesca Albanese called them “a momentous step forward.” “The Hague Group was born to advance international law in an era of impunity,” said South Africa’s Foreign Minister, Ronald Lamola. “The measures adopted in Bogotá show that we are serious — and that coordinated state action is possible.” The response from Washington was swift — and revealing. In a threatening statement to journalists, a US State Department spokesperson accused The Hague Group of “seeking to isolate Israel” and warned that the US would “aggressively defend our interests, our military, and our allies, including Israel, from such coordinated legal and diplomatic” actions. But instead of deterring action, the threats have only clarified the stakes. In Bogotá, states did not flinch. They acted — and they invite the world to join them. The deadline for further states to take up the measures is now two months away. And with it, the pressure is mounting for governments across the world — from Brazil to Ireland, Chile to Spain — to match words with action. As Albanese said, “the clock is now ticking for states — from Europe to the Arab world and beyond — to join them.” This is not a moment to observe. It is a moment to act. Share the Joint Statement from Bogotá and popularise the six measures. Write to your elected representative and your government and demand they sign on before 20 September. History was made in Bogotá. Now, it’s up to all of us to ensure it becomes reality, that Palestinian life is not disposable and international law is not optional. The era of impunity is coming to an end. Palestine is not alone. In solidarity, The Progressive International Secretariat  
    • Most countries charge for entry to museums and galleries, often a different rate for locals (tax payers) and foreign nationals. The National Gallery could do this, also places like the Museums in South Kensington, the British Library and other tax-funded institutions. Many cities abroad add a tourist tax to hotel bills. It means tourists help pay for public services.
    • Having just been to Co-op to redeem a 50p off Co-op members' card voucher on an item that is now 50p more than it was last week, Tesco can't come soon enough
    • Surely that depends on the amount.  It can be quite piffling.
