I was overjoyed to discover that the food at Fishnets is top class. Crispy, tasty batter, outrageously good chips and perfectly cooked fish (and sausage) made for a very memorable meal. They pride themselves on their quality appliances, and I have to concur that the end result is unsurpassed. I am going to try their pizzas soon - if I can bring myself to draw my eyes down from the fish and chips menu! I cannot fault this place. It even looks classy with a modern décor, branded uniform and friendly service. Excellent - go there.

That said, Old Smithy's just served up a plate of the best fish and chips I've ever had in my life. The fish tasted very fresh, offering a vibrant flavor that was severely lacking from some of the battered fish I've had in London. The batter was simple, but fried perfectly. The chips were freshly cut and -- just as the batter was -- fried just right. Hell, even the mayonnaise and tartar sauce (served in packets) were delicious; I could actually taste the egg in the mayonnaise. I often forget that mayonnaise, before becoming the bastardized mayo that pervades US markets, was originally a French sauce. As silly as it sounds, the mayonnaise packets here jogged my memory. I wholly believe that the quality of the fish and chips is a reflection of the local mindset here in Ambleside, where very little seems to be outsourced. Other than freshness, there was nothing else really noteworthy about the food, and yet it's that beautiful simplicity that made it so delicious. And at £6 for a large plate? It was almost unbelievable.

Do I dare say this was the best fish & chips joint I've ever been to?

It is the same price as all the other chip shops in the area.
