"At Sea Shell, keeping it fresh, delicious and local is their commitment as they use sustainably sourced fish, delivered daily. Chips are made from the finest locally grown potatoes and premium ingredients are used for their homemade tartar sauce."
"Sea Shell of Lisson Grove's take out counter is every bit a fish and chippery. Their dining room seems more upscale than the others I have visited. But the fish and chips is excellent and comes with a choice of potatoes if chips aren't one's thing. I started with an excellent smoked haddock chowder and had a side of mushy peas."
"Once referred to by Alain Ducasse as having the best fish and chips in London, this isn't your standard chippy, with the decor being a cut above to start. The restaurant has been family-owned for 50 years, surviving a fire in 2009 and there's a lot to back up Ducasse's claim."
"The original spot famously burned down in 2009 (only the original black and white checkered floor tiles survived), but has since reopened, and is now a much-loved local chippy serving the best caught-daily fish in Marylebone."
"Marylebone restaurant The Seashell of Lisson Grove promises to fulfill the fish and chips dreams of any discerning London diner."
"Some say this famous Lisson Grove chippie is ‘the best in London’; 40 years down the line, it’s certainly one of the better-known outlets in town and gets regularly rammed with noisy crowds of tourists and families with raucous kids. The Sea Shell prides itself on sustainable sourcing and procures its catch exclusively from Billingsgate – whether its cod, haddock and skate or more exclusive Dover sole and sea bass."
"Known for drawing in A-listers on the DL and locals alike, the price point is a touch higher than most chippies, but with unlimited chips and a classically decorated dining room, it suits the place. Super-fresh fish comes out coated with just the right amount of batter, the better to burn your fingers on while picking at it before it cools."
"The Sea Shell of Lisson Grove has had a long-standing reputation for being one of the top fish and chips bistros in London. Made famous by local foodies and a celebrity clientele, you can expect fresh, delicious and local fare with a slightly higher price tag."
