It is certainly one of the best fish chips I've ever had. We also had a delicious fish soup and to end the pudding dessert was wonderful. The staff ia kind and the price is fair (perhaps slightly below what I expected).

I am a regular at The Sea Shell and always have rock salmon. Yesterday there was no rock salmon available, and that is very disappointing for a top fish restaurant with such a good reputation.

Best fish and chips around. I travel up from Sussex for my regular 'rock and chips', and it is well worth it. The only one I have found to compare is in North Devon.

Visit was a business evening meal, to introduce my overseas guests to the UK tradition of fish and chips. the environment was very modern and clean, and we had good seats in quiet corner of the restauraunt. Service was pleasant and efficient. We all ordered cod and chips with mushy peas and pickles, and was very tasty. The only slight down is that the cost of the meal was a little on the high side.

It was very clean, friendly and helpful staff, with excellent food. We both had Smoked Salmon to start and I have never seen such large portions. For mains, I had the Halibut and my brother had Dover Sole on the bone. Both were cooked to perfection and delicious. The bottomless chips were great as were the Onion Rings we had as sides. For dessert we had Apple Cake and Spotted Dick which were good.

2 meals out of 3 were delightful but one other person found that the batter around their fish was rather heavy and wet underneath, could have been lighter and crisper. Fish itself was beautifully white and flavoursome but only batter let it down a bit.

Food was excellent, but expensive. I think the waiter should have told us about the Express Menu - cheaper option! Anyway, can't fault the food.

Super special fish and chips. The best I have tasted in London. Try the haddock and mushy peas, delicious. They don't over face you with chips but with every main course you can have unlimited chips, just ask the waiter for more. What a great idea.

Excellent fish dishes with a wide range on offer. Prices median. The wine list is comprehensive and all vintages offered complement the fish. The ambience of the restaurant is attractive. Service is very good on the whole although one waiter was a little brusque.

Our meal was excellent and served very promptly which surprised us because the restaurant was crowded. However the experience was marred by boisterous, drunken customers at the next table.

Fresh fish in London is unique. The only suggestion is change olive oil for virgin olive oil instead of regular one, Spanish preferably, mucho better
