Mark Wiens

"The fish was flaky and soft, incredibly juicy on the inside, with a serious crunch on the outside. A douse of malt vinegar made it extra tasty."

How To Spend It

"This restaurant is my default destination in London when I want the finest fish and chips."

Time Out London

"The chips were properly potatoey and hand-cut. Spanking fresh, the cod’s thick, white and opalescent flakes came in golden, crisp batter neither too thick nor greasy; you could also have it fried in matzo meal or grilled."

Ailbhe Malone

"It's tricky to find good fish and chips in London, it's true. But Fish Central raises the stakes, with a commitment to fresh, well-cooked fish and chips. You can't ask for more, really."

Charles Campion

"Fish Central is a very good fish and chip shop. It covers the whole spectrum from cod in crisp batter to grilled sea bass and sole. The fish and chips are notable and worth a detour."

Food & Drink

"My grilled plaice was succulent and full of flavor, but I was particularly impressed by the Dover sole - excellent value and stunningly tasty. This is fish and chips at its very best."

Lemi

"Fish Central undoubtedly dishes out the freshest fish, which you’ll taste from the moist, sweet, and flaky fillets of their yummy Fish and Chips. The Clerkenwell institution has barely changed since 1968, so expect some classic charm when you visit!"
