You can choose a whole fish and ask to have it cut the way you want: special hoven, chunks for soup or filet for the pan. They'll do it in front of you. Friendly staff. The shop is in front of Hamish Johnston to allow for efficient shopping: cheese and fish in 5 min!

I've been a few times on the way home (clearly a slow learner) and have always been underwhelmed. Very expensive for a chippy, not particularly speedy on the preparation, only a few choices each night and the food quality is extremely so-so. Their chips are usually undercooked and a bit hard. The fish not particularly great. Only thing I really like there is the freshly prepared home tartar sauce.
This man rocks my world…read more I've quite inadvertently started setting him challenges which have included: "Mark, I want a hare." "Mark, I want a box full of angry crayfish" "Mark, I want something for dinner but I don't know what. Be a good chap and get me something tasty?" "Mark, I want foie gras. Not cheap sh*tty stuff in a jar, I want big hunks of liver." "Mark, I'm redecorating my flat and want some wine boxes because I'm a little bit boho and I can't afford shelves at the moment because I spend all my money on foie gras." He must hate me by now, but he always delivers (quite literally...) Plus the girls in the office all fancy him.

I live pretty near Billingsgate. Have done for about 8 years. I've been once. I went for an article I was writing and had a great time (met a fisherman who hated fish - go figure), but once was enough for me. I do not do well with 6am starts. And the last thing I feel like pre-coffee is buying seafood. But I like cooking. I like making tasty things. I like having fresh food that didn't cost the earth in the supermarket (although my local fishmonger is also awesome). I basically want all the good stuff, delivered to my door. Marky Market does that. Not just to your door, but to your office too. I live so close to Billingsgate that I'd have had a very early wake-up call (Mark starts his day at 2:30 am - I'm not even asleep by then a lot of the time). So Qype laughed at me when I got half a kilo of samphire delivered to their office. I made tasty salads with crayfish for a party, everyone was impressed. Even shared some in the pub with some other Qypers. They were happy too. I'll use Marky Market for any special occasion. If you don't like early starts and you like tasty food, you should too.

Do it.) Aaaaand the plot thins when I insert the fact that I didn't eat fish until I was 20 years old. I thought it was vile. When I was 20 I went on a study abroad program called Semester at Sea, and as you can imagine... seafood was on the daily menu for six months. After one month of eating the only non-fish alternative (peanut butter and jelly), I gave in. And I still haven't forgiven myself for wasting a full month not eating the most amazing, fresh, delicious fish I've ever had. The reason it was so fantastic was that it was sourced directly from local fishers at each port we called at, so mahi-mahi in Cuba, piranha in Brazil, skate in Cape Town... all the way around to king salmon in Alaska. My fish from Chelsea Fishmonger brought me right back to my earlier experience. So fresh, so local, so delicious. And most importantly, so ethical. I spoke with an employee for about 20 minutes about their fishing practices which involve, among other responsible things, only stocking fish caught by softer inshore non-destructive fishing methods. Now I'm not just upset about the one month I didn't eat fish on the ship, I'm upset about the 20 years I didn't know places like Chelsea Fishmonger existed!

You can have an account with them or just buy as you need, and they have a great variety.

The were patient and took their time explaining to me the difference between their oysters and where they came. I had their Jersey and Mersea Oysters and they also let me try a Native Oyster on the house! I grabbed some lemons and their house made sauce on the side. They paired so well with the Oysters ans the Oysters were naturally salted, so they were so well balanced with the toppings! Amazing! Some of the best I've ever had, and I enjoyed them with a glass of Prosecco. Just such a great experience!

If you are lucky enough living in Fulham, you still might have missed the local fish shop which is…read moreon Fulham road towards Putney Bridge. It's one of those shops locals should support, because it is authentic and of high standard. An Italian Family is running the business. When I order cod, tuna or calamari, I always ask for advice how to cook it the best, not loosing any juice or flavour. My secret recipe: Code fish in the oven for not more then 20min wrapped in aluminium foil... Ingredients: * White wine * Spring onions * Garlic * Pepper * Bouillon * Lemon * Herbs * Butter The Italian fish shop owner always asks me for how many people? - My answer is dinner for on - he smiles. Sometimes I try the fish cakes, they have some fresh vegetables and herbs, which you can use for your ingredients - never leave the shop without a lemon. Also the prawns over a salad as starter or the spaghetti à la vongele could be a treat for your guests!

It certainly put a smile on my face. The bakery section is good as well, there stock a large amount of slice pans and freshly made french sticks and buns. We all like a fresh bun now and again.

One barista in particular swears I am a regular who works in the City and gives me the odd freebie which is very welcome. The coffee, not the presumption of city employment that is. A presumption which, considering recent events seems downright libelous. Lovely as free cappuccinos indubitably are, they're par for the course at this particular Pret. The staff are lovely, so very friendly, and make some of the best coffee in the City. The new ham and Dijon sandwich is gorgeous; the rocket and grieve baguette legendary; and the raspberry, yoghurt and muesli breakfast pots to die for. But really this Pret's speciality really is its expertly made coffee. Just grand.
Vincent's butchers has been around for some 20+ years and is located not far from Woking Station…read more It's a traditional butchers with a full game license but, unlike Turner's in Horsell it doesn't seem to have the same trade and following. It's the kind of butchers where you have to know what you want as there is not always much on display despite large counters and that which is tends to be the cheaper cuts, sausages or bacon. It's fairly pricey and for me lacks the personal service that I seek from a butchers. I like to be able to ask what's good on a given day but here you don't really get a response. The store also has a deli and ready meal section. There is parking outside the store and they open early.

Then there are those that make you feel that they are reenacting an episode from 'Any Way is Essex' and no for the record i don't watch it, i just know! So it is with reluctance that I find myself having the need to enter into an establishment that feels the need to brainwash it customers into over purchasing goods that will inevitably end up in the bin as waste. I leave this store feeling not that i've purchased something, but like i'm escaping from a different dimension. Then having to negotiate out of the car park, as there is always a plethora of cars being driven by those lazy people who don't want to walk further than they need to, so just sit and wait for a space nearest the entrance, when there are dozens of spaces further down. My latest observation is that they seem to have adopted to driving on the right hand side as they navigate around the car park looking for that prime parking spot.

Like apartment listings, what some might call cramped I call cozy. There are potted flowers and lots of knickknacks all around. Even the bathroom is cute. And who can beat a door made from a phone booth? I like being able to see what's going on in the kitchen too - it feels hectic but fun. For food, I've tried the veggie burger, lamb burger, chicken burger (my fave), and chips (always extra-crispy), and seen table-mates get the falafel and the chicken salad. The veggie burger needs something to hold it together better; it kind of became a mess as I ate it, but a yummy mess at that. The burgers really are as big as your face, so if you get chips on the side, it's enough to be a meal for two. I've also had the breakfast fry up, which is definitely enough for two. It came with egg, sausage, bacon, beans, mushroom, tomato, and toast. So deliciously yummy, especially on a cold morning.

This fun and quirky place has already become a popular haunt for many of the students from across the road. It's fun and rustic approach was bound to go down well with the mixed bag that attend Goldsmiths Uni. It mainly seems to serve up burgers and coffee and I believe they have plans to apply for an alcohol licence, which will inevitably be a added bonus to this small joint. The food is prepared in an open kitchen, meaning you can see, in close intimacy what's going on your plate. There aren't actually many places you can/want to sit down and eat in New Cross and any addition is a welcome. However saying that, it is tiny. So tiny that if there is more than 2 people queuing for a coffee you are standing in the main doorway. Due to the size and popularity, when I did venture in it was a battle and the place was simply heaving. The staff seemed really flustered and my simple coffee request took much longer than average expectations. Still saying that, I will be back. There's no comparison to it in the area and the simple menu looks like just what you need on a cosy night out with friends.

The only reason this doesn't get a full 5-star review is because they're not as adventurous in their offerings as an independent butcher could be (e.g. there's no jelly in their home-made pork pies, they don't supply giblets with their chicken, no mutton is available). Yes, they're following the wishes of the clientele, but I also wish they would do more to educate their customers, because I think there's a lot of trust in them from their loyal customer base.
