It was reasonably priced considering that we were ordering seafood that is generally expensive. I would definitely recommend this restaurant.

The fishmongers are really helpful, telling you all about the new shiny catches that they have in, how best to cook them and I've even had wines recommend to me. They'll fillet whole fish for you and do all the yucky bits so all that's left for you is the cooking. The seafood here is of such a high quality that you won't need much but a few herbs to flavour it. I last bough some roe scallops, which were mouth wateringly good. Moxon's is also just near the tube, perfect for popping into for fish that you want to cook that evening.

Especially given how in some parts of London it feels like you have to start digging a hole to China to get some local chow mein. The owner is quick, polite, and very decent. The first time I came here, he gave me a pound less than my due change, which I only realized on my 5 minute walk while waiting for food When I came back to pick up, he was the first to point it out. Superb. Duck Chow Mein: The duck chow mein is literally the best I've had in London and England. Often the duck is dark in color and dry, flavorless. Here the duck is absolutely perfect- crispy and red with just the right tenderness. It's like 4.95 and it's a large and in charge amount of noodles, duck, and thinly sliced vegetables. Hot and Sour (Schezuan style) Soup: Perhaps the best I have ever had, ever. And I have it in every Chinese place I go. Normally the stock/base is thin, though loaded with flavor. Here you get more succulent meat and vegetables than liquid. I am just such a fan. And the portion for like 2.80 is huge. I could literally just have that for lunch with a small salad and be full. My friend had the Chilli Beef which he said was good quality for value as well. I will most definitely be coming back to this place which I want some straight up stir fry or spiced up soup. Always hits the spot.

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.
