London - Eating & Drinking - Fastfood & Takeaway - Fish & Chips
When slipping into this fishncips joint, you'd be forgiven for mistaking it for an averagy 'deep-fried-n-dirty' sort of place - not terribly sparkling, modern or organised. But that's not really why you came here is it? The queue for the takeaways streams out the door (as the deal here is a lot cheaper, shaving 3-4 squids off an avg meal). If you hover around the dining area between waiters darting back n fourth you may be lucky to nab a table - simple straight back wooden chairs and laminated tables. But in this instance simple is good.
When the food arrives you reach in your bucket for malt vinegar and salt, and salt up your good ol' fashioned hand-cut chips and climb in. The meals are not cheap, but for the occasional treat, this tenner is worth it. The fish was moist and tasty with a crunchy outer casing, squeeze on a bit of lemon and you're good to go. This is not going to fit in with a South Beach, Atkinson or any other kind of diet. It will in fact almost definitely give you a heart attack with prolonged consumption. But for a treat on a chilly day or after a big night, this will put your right.
