Normally when you walk past a Fish & Chip shop you are usually greeted with a wonderful aroma which makes

you hungry and want to eat Fish & Chips.


Walking past Fish and Chips and More something is missing. ? Have they installed very efficient extractors

and aroma filters..

We have been using this place for fish and chips since it opened. When it first opened, the quality was very high but over the past 6-12 months (we probably have fish and chips every couple of months) the quality has been steadily going downhill.


Last night our fish was thin, lacked a flaky texture, the batter was greasy and had a chemical-like taste; the chips were soggy and poor quality. Added to this I could see the staff rubbing their faces, touching their hair, etc and then preparing/ serving food. So, due to a combination of poor quality and hygiene we won't be going again.

Thin fish that is not flaky is likely to be Pollock (a cheap alternative) some fish shops are passing

on illegally as Cod. Fish advertised as Cod has to BE Cod.


It can be identified by a pinkish colour.. and a mushy wet texture.

I find Sema on Underhill road, near Exhibition really good. they seem to be really anal about cleanliness and cook the fish there and then for you. You can even phone them up and order and go collect so you do not have to wait around. The only word of warning is that sometimes i have caught them trying to pass off a small/medium cod as a large so i always ask them when they serve me to make sure. The portions are big though

SEMA's was always my favourite but I suspect that on occasion they have substituted Cod with Pollock..


I have questioned them on this issue and they deny this practice..


Look out for thin fish with pinkish mushy flesh.. Cod has a pure white flaky texture..

    • I know the couple you mean, and she has always been friendly and smiley when delivering to me, but obviously in a hurry, for all the reasons outlined in the thread. My gate is always open, however (unless someone coming to the house closes it when they leave). I can't see the point of gates that have to be opened and shut again every time someone comes to the house. It just seems a waste of time, and it's annoying if you are carrying stuff. And a closed gate  conveys a sort of "my house is my fortress" feel. To me, anyway.
    • Thanks for posting this. Really interesting. It would be good if you added a star rating, so that it was easier to do comparisons / see what your top recommendations are. Great blog though!
    • Hi, Just a quick note to say it's six months since I launched Eats Dulwich. In that time I've reviewed 28 restaurants. Usually four or five a month except for a month when I came down with gout, which I guess is an occupational hazard. Don't say I don't suffer for my art. Early on someone – Sue, I think – asked me what I'm going to do when I've reviewed every restaurant in East Dulwich. I'm nowhere near that point, but what I have found is that a lot of new openings have tended to be in Rye Lane, so the site has expanded to cover SE15, hence the slight change of name (still haven't had any cease and desist letters from anything with a similar name).  Anyway, the site is still free, it would be great if as many readers as possible here can subscribe so that they automatically get new posts (when you try to subscribe the default might be paid subs but that's down to Substack, just tick the free option instead) as I don't post everything on EDF. Obviously you can get reviews elsewhere if you want, but I think this is the only proper site for local East Dulwich people written by a local East Dulwich person. If you like eating out please have a read. And if there are other places you think I should visit please mention them below and i'll do my best to try them.

    • Can you explain what your point was, then? Because it isn't clear to me. No. Perhaps you could provide a link and explain its relevance? That would be helpful     Those figures suggest that over 10,000,000 voters were not "rejecting a far left party."
