I have heard good things about the Two Brothers in Finchley, and it is regularly in the restaurant guides.

I don't eat there - being a veggie - but my partner swears by them.

I have good reports of two London Faulkners 424 Kingsland Rd Dalston & Two Brothers 297 Regents Park Road.

For the best fried fish:-

"Kiosk de los Flores" Seville (just by the bridge over the Quadalivier in Triana)

I don't know about being the best fish and chips in the UK! Chez Fred's in Westbourne Bournemouth is excellent and is patronized by many famous showbiz personalities. I have eaten there many times and have never been disappointed.

If you're talking about London, the Seashell in Lisson Grove, near Marylebone Station, is quite good.

However, most people reckon the best fish and chips in the U.K. are to be found in Yorkshire, and I haven't eaten them there for too long to make specific recommendations.

Cheers,
John

At the top of Baker Street in the centre of Brighton there is a shop who's name escapes me, but their fish and chips are excellent. They do a sit down service as well. Good eating Chris.

Two spring to mind and a couple to avoid.
(Bearing in mind the new EEC Cod quotas this likley to be the last year for at least twenty or so that you are going to be able to go into a chippy and say "Large Cod and Chips twice and not pay over 20 quid) Anyway "Seashell "on Lisson Grove near Marlebone  in NW London is reasonable as is the one in Islington twhose name I forget not being an Arsenal man. Avoid Micki's (All over west London)like the plauge. Most of thier boys don,t have a basic food hygine cert. My local which is on Stanley Park Rd Carshalton Beeches is VERY good.Huge Cod and Chips £3.50 and theres an off license next door. Best Shish Kebab Thers a place one block east of the Old Vic in Victoria which does a great chicken shish. Best Shawarma, either Helens on Edgware Rd open 11pm 4am or of course Maroush also on Edgware rd. Best Chinese take away. Yet to be awarded. Best Indian. Yet to be awarded. Best Bacon sarnie: The cafe near Heart 102 Radio in latimer Rd.

The place in Brighton is of course Englishes and thierier are famous also for thier Oysters

The Little Chippy in Redcar (Cleveland) is one of the best i know and its won loads of awards, and newspaper clippings are excellent

also

The Chip Shop in Great Ayton (Cleveland) cant think of the name of it but is a good one too.
