The Laughing Halibut is an unassuming little spot serving fresh, made-to-order fish and chips. The…read moredining area is simple and fairly small, so it could be challenging for someone using a wheelchair, but the staff were incredibly friendly and happy to offer recommendations. One of the highlights was watching our meal being prepared right behind the counter. We saw the chef batter each piece of fish by hand before lowering it into the fryer, which made it clear everything was cooked fresh to order. We ordered both the cod and the halibut. I preferred the cod for its milder, delicate flavor, while my husband enjoyed the halibut's richer, more pronounced taste. Both were perfectly cooked with light, crispy batter and flaky fish inside. If you're looking for excellent, freshly prepared fish and chips without the fuss, The Laughing Halibut is absolutely worth a visit. We'd happily come back.

This was such a perfect restaurant to grab fish and chips! First off, it is on the most bustling…read morelittle street. There was a market going on when we walked through and many specialty food stores along the street as well. The restaurant itself had the vibe of a local hole in the wall. The employees were extremely friendly and helpful in a way that wasn't pushy at all. The menu had a good variety and the food was served quickly. The fish and chips were super authentic and reasonably priced. You could tell this was somewhere frequented by both locals and tourists. Would highly recommend and encourage you to support the very kind staff!

I've been to London many times now, but this last time I decided to finally have British fish and…read morechips. I saw a recommendation for Golden Union, and so we made our way over there for lunch towards the latter half of our trip. The place itself is unsuspecting but ended up being actually very cute when we went inside. The neon signs and vintage furniture make it feel cozy. The staff themselves were also very welcoming. We sat down and were handed menus and waters. I decided to split the haddock and chips with my friend while my other friends got their own portion of cod and chips. Everything was pricey, but it is London. The waitress was also very engaging and friendly since she noticed we were tourists and also helped one of my friends with his journey to try British tea for the first time. Overall, she was so sweet. Despite not having crazy high expectations, the haddock and chips was incredible. The fish was soft, and the chips were fresh and not oily at all. It felt very fresh, and I finished my portion feeling very satisfied. My friends let me try their cod, and the cod was also fantastic--very buttery. The haddock is definitely my favorite though. Would come back on my next trip!

I was fortunate to come here just before it was peak dinner time and I did see a lot of people waiting. If you look to come here at usually meal times, be ready for a wait! What Is great about this establishment is that they have many options for your fish in case you are craving something in particular. With it being my first time here, I was looking to try either the Haddock or Cod, and decided on the Haddock. Once I received my fish and chips, I was ready to eat and wow the fish was so good and well fried. I tasted how good the fried batter was while all the flavor of the fish was still inside! I could eat this fried fish all day! The batter had the flakiness to it which added a nice texture. As for the chips (fries), I will say that they were average and nothing too special. However, keep that appetite for the fish! Make sure you finish that! Service itself was pretty fast and prompt. They definitely look to get your food quickly so you can enjoy your meal so they can accommodate as many people as possible.

So for my last dinner In London, having not eaten any "English" food since arriving 3 days ago, I…read morewent for the obligatory fish and chips (we don't get this in Houston). One of my colleagues told me of a place close by our old office that was good, and I guess it was here since it is the only place close to Frying Pan Alley. When I arrived I saw that it was a "chippy" and smiled since I had never been in one before. I had an hour till closing so did not dawdle. Went whole hog for the large cod and chips with a side of mushy peas - gotta have at least one veg. For dessert I had the Spotted Dick with Custard. Even though they were fairly close to closing the food was hot, fresh and delicious. Good to see real chips and malt vinegar. Again, they don't use vinegar in the US. Ambience was rustic and nothing fancy and also nothing pretentious. Server was a friendly fellow so service was great. Not the cheapest at £29 but worth it, especially since I was eating cheaply for the past 3 suppers. Well recommended - two thumbs up.

They were nice enough but didn't really have an easy to ready menu. The chips were decent although I asked for vinegar and they didn't taste much like anything. The chicken was phenomenal - very flavorful and juicy. I picked it off the bone it was so good. It was a very big portion of food for five quid and I would absolutely recommend it for a cheap lunch but I'm not sure if it's the best food in the area. Would go back.

I ordered the classic fish and chips with the curry sauce. All of the dipping paired well with the fish. The fish and chips are served on a massive plate with 3 sauces. Now where this restaurant needs some work is on the chips themselves. I am not sure if it was an off day but my chips came out dry and felt like they have been sitting out for a while. I'd expect with paying almost 30 quid that the chips would have been better quality. Overall, I would still recommend this place and would return in the future hoping that the chips are improved.

They have 3 locations in London. We were lucky to be seated immediately and placed our order. We each started with a drink. They have beer,wine,juices and soft drinks. We also had an.order of olives to.go with our fish. Portions are huge! We each had the haddock which was delicious. Not greasy at all! The inside is relatively small and they don't have outdoor seating so don't be surprised if there is a line out the door during peak times. Takeout is also very popular. For anyone with a GF allergy,Hobsons is a good place to go and try the local favorite of Fish & Chips.

Watching her serve other tables, she gave most patrons drinks after their food was served. The cod was really good and meaty. The onion rings were amazing. The fries/chips were only okay. There was no salt on them and they weren't crispy at all. We got a tiny container of tartar sauce. It was hard to get her attention, so I finished the last half without anything. I don't know if the quality of fish and chips is typical for London, but I'm not that impressed. A small town on the Oregon coast had the best fish and chips ever. I will say, the onion rings were the best even though they were a little greasy. The coleslaw is not like USA slaw, but it was pretty good. I will probably try another restaurant for fish and chips to get a good comparison.
