fish chipsand more...... on east dulwich road

Recommended Posts

I spoke to the proprietor of fish chips and more on East Dulwich Road, and told him they were the worst chips I had ever had. I gave him 20 chips from my plate that were rotten bits of the potato.my granddaugher(aged 2) spat the chips out. Her brother did not eat his potion. His response to me was sarcastic and dismissive, and commented that we had one potion between four people. maybe I got what he thought I deserved.

They were the worst chips I had ever tasted.

If you enjoy the taste of old oil eat there. If you have any kind pallet at all don't bother

It's the same old story and there have been similar reviews as yours.

In all fairness there have been many complimentary views.

I haven't tried it yet so have no personal opinions.


Often this time of year they use New potatoes which are not the same as the old Spuds.

Just had fish and chips from Seamaster on Forest Hill Road.


Not up to the usual standard, chips very hard and overcooked, fish also quite dry.

When i went back, was told that the potatoes were 'old' and that the new ones were coming in 'two days'. Also I was told I was the third person to have complained; after some negotiation got refund for the chips.


Back to a car ride to Emily's.......

"Fish chips and more" is our regular chippy and it's always reasonably good. Certainly never had inedible chips. Not doubting the OPs story, just adding balance.


People have recommended Codfellas on Bellenden Rd, but I've never had the good fortune of finding it open.

Why is it so hard to find a decent fish and chip shop? Is the overall demand not there? In years of living in the area I can't really find a good one - one like the awesome one in Rye for example. I'd like somewhere that they fry the fish and the chips "fresh" when you order (ok maybe that means the 2nd fry), plus offer grilled fish freshly cooked.


Anyone know of a shop like this close by?

The Flying Fish on Camberwell Church Street is excellent. Cooks most things to order, offers grilled fish, and far cheaper than the Sea Cow. Their mixed platter (cod, haddock, scampi, calamari) is amazing value at ?7.50 and would easily feed two. And they know where their fish comes from. Bit of a trek but you can phone your order in in advance, or they have a restaurant where you can BYO.
Cedges.. the only bit that suprises me about your post, is the fact that you were surprised. You went in with totally unrealistic expectations - it's just a regular chippy, it's going to be frozen fish fillets from the wholesaler. You might as well go into Dulwich Tandoori and ask them what farm their "lamb" is from.
Thats bull Jeremy. Any DECENT chippy knows exactly where their fish is from - not the trawler name, no but what port/market in general. They're the same chippys that understand the other 50% of their trade is chips so they buy potatoes, chip them and fry them and don't buy in frozen rubbish. (Yes pointing at you Sea Cow).

I was a big fan and regular at Semas Fish bar Underhill Road.


They used to do me a good deal as I only wanted a few chips..


However a couple of months ago on more than one occasion having asked for Cod I got a very mushy wet

piece of fish pink in colour with I believe may of been Pollock...

It did not have the typical White Flaky texture of Cod..


Very disappointed with Sema's


Haven't tried Fish Chips and More yet..

I thought Fish chips and more were generally ok.


Although I recently bought Rock and Chips for a change. The Rock smelled of ammonia! I googled it and apparently when fish is not fresh and starts to go off it smells of ammonia.


I ate a bit of it. I couldn't be arsed to drive back and swap it for haddock. It was pretty grim.

    • Everyone gets the point that Corbynites try to make with the "total number of votes cast" statistic, it's just a specious one.  In 2017, Corbyn's Labour got fewer votes than May's Tories (both the percentage of votes and aggregate number of votes). In 2019, Corbyn's Labour fewer votes than Johnson's Tories (both the percentage of votes and aggregate number of votes); and he managed to drop 2.7 million votes or 6.9% of vote share between the two elections. I repeat, he got trounced by Boris F***ing Johnson and the Tories after the Brexit omnishambles. It is not true that a "fairer" electoral system would have seen Labour beat the Tories: Labour simply got fewer votes than the Tories. Corbyn lost twice. There is no metric by which he won the general election. His failure to win was a disaster for the UK, and let Johnson and Truss and Sunak into office. Corbynites have to let go of this delusion that Corbyn but really won somehow if you squint in a certain way. It is completely irrelevant that Labour under Corbyn got more votes than Labour under Starmer. It is like saying Hull City was more successful in its 2014 FA Cup Final than Chelsea was in its 2018 FA Cup Final, because Hull scored 2 goals when Chelsea only scored 1. But guess what - Chelsea won its game and Hull City lost. Corbyn's fans turned out to vote for him - but an even larger group of people who found him repellant were motivated enough to show up and vote Tory.
