  Fish and Chips Friday......
  
  I am not sure if everyone does this or maybe its just me but whenever i am in any city I look for the following foodie places a great burger place, an authentic pizzeria, a traditional seafood place. Now I know being so far from the coast one cannot expect fresh fish let alone seafood close by.
  
  However, I think i have come close to it and that's where this place comes into play.
  
  A great little family run fish and chip shop, we tend to go for the cod that is fresh and flaky this is alongside fat cut chips.
  
  Until i find another replacement in London this will be my go to place for Fish and Chips Friday.

  Nautilus is still my absolute favourite Fish & Chip restaurant in London. In fact, in England. In fact, in the world.
  
  I don't miss Fish & Chips when I am not in London. I miss Nautilus.
  
  I went for (an irregular choice for me) cod tonight. It was moist, chunky and full of flavour.

  A real institution...
  
  Not many of these specialised fish shops still exist.  This one is 100% genuine.  Probably the most fishy place you can get outside the sea...
  
  As you can expect it is all plastic and everything is shiny from the grease. However the fish is apparently amazing!  I can contest that the fries are out pf this world, probably 50 times fried...
  
  Definitely worth at least one visit.

  The description for a 2 star review is "Meh" and I couldn't put it better myself. I went with a friend and we shared an order of cod, plaice, chips, and peas. The peas were the highlight of the meal.
  
  Don't get me wrong - I love peas, and these were delicious. But when mushy peas are the best part of the meal, there's something wrong there.
  
  The chips were not undercooked, but rather barely cooked. If you don't like your chips crispy and consider McDonald's fries to be overdone, these are probably right for you.
  
  As for the fish... the plaice was definitely better than the cod, but that's not saying much. The breading was mildly crispy on one side and damp on the other. Maybe they didn't drain it before plating? Either way, it just wasn't great. We did eat in the restaurant side, so it may be different if you get it from the takeaway side.
  
  I'm a bit sad that this seems to be my nearest chippy, but happy, because maybe I'll lose a bit of weight by cutting back on the fish & chips!

  To quote the All Saints "I know where it's at"... When it comes to fish n chips. Back in my school days I would come here with a gang friends for lunch. Back in 1995, The Nautilus did chip rolls for 60 pence. It was filling and delicious. A Benson and hedges after was the order of the day. Life was good.
  Fast forward 5 years and i would spend my evenings in the pub a few doors up. Lining my stomach before guzzling 8 pints of Carlsberg was a necessity. Again the Ol chipper was trusty.
  Fast forward 11 years and I now take my little boy here for chips and stroll in the park.
  The point is that over the space of a few years The All Saints have disappeared and gone, mostly forgotten. The world has changed, but this place hasn't. Good fish n chips that doesn't rape your wallet.
  They tore the pub next door down a couple of years back. Bugger!
