The Sea Shell Of Lisson Grove in City of London, Westminster

One of the best fish and chip experiences I’ve had in years. Perfectly crispy batter, fresh flaky cod, and chips that were golden on the outside and fluffy on the inside — exactly how they should be. But what really stood out was the atmosphere: warm, welcoming, and clearly run by people who care about doing things properly. You can tell when a place takes pride in their food, and this one absolutely does. No fuss, no frills — just great fish and chips, done right. Highly recommend.

Minna and Oksana and Liliana are perfect and I strongly Believe that this is the best fish and chips in London!

Best fish and chips in the area - always very fresh and tasty - 10/10 recommend

An authentic British fish & chips. One of my all time favourite f&c restaurants in London. The fish is crispy outside and juicy inside. The portions are large and well worth the price imo. They also have a take-away shop next door.

Great fish and chips. Just a little on the expensive side for Canadians.

We were in the takeout restaurant. The prices are steep and by German standards a portion of fish & chips is very expensive at around 18 euros, but it tastes very, very good! The fish comes with remoulade, mayonnaise, ketchup and, traditionally, vinegar if you like. Very good!

Very good fish and chips in a very nice setting! Children's menu at £9 which offsets the £25 cost of the main course

Melting fish, very very good, go there with your eyes closed! I highly recommend.

Amazing experience. Very kind and generous

Lovely Fish and Chips - crispy batter ☺️ Excellent service from Olia and her team.

Great service from olia and oxana!

An excellent restaurant that truly deserves a full rating. While the prices are slightly above average, the portion size and taste absolutely make up for it. It would be great to see more soda options like Barr Cola or Kinza Cola added to the menu. The traditional fish and chips dish is especially outstanding and delicious.

The best fish and chips in town! Can’t wait to have it again, I will definitely come back

Great food, great service, and a dreamy aquatic setting to match. Staff really showed care and attention, definitely on my list of places to return to.

Seems to have changed, loved going here but the staff on tills are now unfriendly and the chips were dry and over cooked. Also, they precook too many so they aren’t always hot when they serve you. In fact, we had to throw them away. Such a shame.

A local legend with worldwide appeal

Oksana was brilliant! Crispy batter, fluffy chips, and super fresh fish. Quick service! Would recommend going just to have a brilliant service by Oksana!

Best chips in london and staff member oksna fantastic and helpful

Fantastic classic fish and chips place which is also halal. There service is relatively fast, always fresh. Food tastes really good but generally I would stick to the fried stuff rather than grilled (from my own experience). Sausages are also really tasty for an indulgence! It can be tricky to park if you are doing take away. I haven't been to restaurant but it looks quite nice. There are plenty of spots to eat if you did want to eat from the takeaway. You still get served in the same way and boxes etc. Really recommend this place.

Served by lovely Oksana, lovely Cod!

Oksana was very helpful and the restaurant was pleasant to step into as the sun shined.

Best fish and chips in London!!!

Had a great Calamari and Chips! Oksana our server was very friendly and courteous!!

Great fish and chips. The former is the best I have tasted in London. Chips are ok. Overall, a great meal and service is top-class. Always go there when visiting London. Born in UK, but now living in the US.

Great and fast service by Minna. Had a great bite at this place. Definitely recommended

I love the layout of the restaurant. At the back there are fish in their tanks. Makes the atmosphere calm . The food a bit pricey but it's Central London . I'm glutenfree and they have gluten free batter as well for the fish should you wish. I had no reaction to the battery so it must be gluten free. The service is outstanding

Super endroit, accueil, service, personnel au top, parle français, plats copieux, un délice, mérite le détour Je recommande +++

Prices are very hit and miss depending on who serves you. Chicken nuggets and chips for 2 people has been charged at £13, £13.50 And £14. Queries result in being told that the prices have just gone up. Every time? Good great.

Minna y Valeria son muy agradables. Su servicio es excelente. Uno de los mejores fish and chips que tengo en Londres. Realmente recomiendo

Be sure to reserve in advance! Delicious!

Gorgeous traditional place, fish and chips was nothing special. Lodge near comes handy ;) :.

Number one fish and chips restaurant in the UK A+++++

The grilled sea bass and grilled vegetables wash delicious!

Good quality fish & chips. Around £40 for two people including sauces and soft drink. The staff are very nice however, shouting the ticket numbers repeatedly makes you feel like you’re in a canteen. Wouldn’t recommend dining in if you have a pushchair/kids as can get a bit hectic when busy and most seating his on high stools.

Thank you to manager Olia for being extremely helpful recommend this place and food! 5/5*

Olia has been amazing thank you so much for the great service and food was amazing. Recommended this to everyone. Thank you sea shells it has been wonderful and will come here again

I had an absolutely fantastic experience here! From the moment I walked in, the service was warm, friendly and attentive without being overbearing. Olia, the manager, made sure we were comfortable and well taking care of throughout the entire meal. The fish and chips is one of the best I’ve ever had! The fish was perfectly cooked, flaky on the inside, with a golden, crispy batter that wasn’t greasy at all. Everything tasted fresh and was clearly made with care. Highly recommended if you’re craving a proper fish and chips experience done right!

Ordered the Haddok . Tasty . The chips was OK

Great mothers day meal. Service was friendly and attentive. Food was great especially panko cod.

Thank you olia we appreciate your hospitality and your kindness for help us find the best order to us And the food was very delicious

Always happy to come back to Seashell and have their amazing fish and chips! Would definitely recommend!

Best fish and chips in town and the manager Olia is awesome!

Amazing experience and amazing food!

The food was extremaly good and Jack very friendly. I place to repet. Not doubt.

Friendly, lovely fish and chips

The real London fish and chips original unique old characteristic excellent property 18/19 pounds large portion

Excellent fish and chips. Nice bottle of wine - although the list is short and not everything on the list is actually available. Great location on Lisson Grove, a short step from Marylebone - and an interesting part of London

fast delivery lovely cod chips and white bait not many people sell white bait thanks

Perfect service, gets fish and chips ever

The restaurant has an amazing decor including an aquarium in one of the sides. However, the popcorn cod and chips were just average. Service was slow despite the fact that the restaurant was nearly empty!

Somehow soggy yet dry at the same time fish and really bland. They forgot a few items from our order along with everything arriving cold because they let it sit on the counter for half an hour before delivering. The salad had spoiled mushy cucumbers in it. There are enough actually good fish and chips shops near by, would not try here again.

Take out but are in the chippy. Excellent fish. A little pricey but worth it

We always wanted to try it to see what the hype is about and while we enjoyed decent fish and chips we still could not quite understand the excitement. Again - decent fish and food place with good service. Worth a detour - probably not albeit we will be back when we are in the area). Thank you

Best fish and chips in London!!

Very good Fish& Chips and lovely staff

Beachfront grill offering fresh seafood, tropical cocktails, and an easygoing vibe.

Excellent customer service! The Haddock and chips was delicious

First time here and I was already captivated by the aroma of the fish and chips as I opened the door. Ordered the small cod fish and chips due to my limited stomach but I can see why they've been arguing for over 60 years. Yum!

Large cod fish and chips. A long queue about 25min. Famous in the neighborhood of the area. Staff are friendly. Freshly made and taste normal. The large cod I ordered is not as big as the others, I am wondering.

The best Fish & Chips in London.

Ordered off uber eats and the chips had so much salt that my kids could not eat. Also a burned piece of something hard.

An atmospheric place where Guy Ritchie's wife Madonna loved to come.

Olia was very helpful, guiding us to have the best experience tasting fish and chips!

Olia was very welcoming and helpful on choosing the best meal

The guys who served us were very nice. Dishes galore. Good potatoes as well as fish

Great service and great food! Amazing!

So far, I have been here twice for dinner and both times we have been amazed by the delectable food and the courteous service. The restaurant seemed to be understaffed as there was only one waiter serving the whole restaurant and trying to get our order in was a little challenging. However, when we managed to have our orders taken, all was brilliant. Service was interactive and there were smile. The fish and chips, by far that I have had in London, were the freshest and most succulent that I have had. We had the Cod and the Haddock. The calamari was also something not to be missed. All in all, the best fish and chips! Worth a visit.

Still excellent after all these years

Good ambience and nice staffs! Went to the takeaway section and there were tables where we could dine in :)

all good, the manager Olia is very kind and nice. We will definitely be back!

My husband had seen a documentary on Galileo about this restaurant, otherwise we wouldn't have come there. But it really paid off. The fish and chips were really tasty, the waiter was very friendly and spoke a few words to us in German. Highly recommended 👌

Olia was very warm and welcoming, greeted us with a smile and felt comfortable instantly, felt like I’ve been here before even though we haven’t! Will return definitely. Fresh tasting food. 5/5 from me

Great service but the food was OK. Not worth going out of your way to eat here. Seems authentic. The fish and chips were all crispy but no flavor. Very bland.

Lovely staff and really good fish and chips. Olia was very kind and helped us with the menu.

Olia provided such great customer service, she was lovely and so accommodating. I would definitely recommend coming back here for its food and excellent customer service.

Been coming here as part of London vacations for about 20 years. Best fish and chips we’ve found in London.

Perfect service with Olia ! See you soon !

It was too expensive for the food quality, which was very average, and not really special.

Generous cuisine: take the small! Special mention to the waitress, attentive and very friendly, in love with France 🥰

Olia gave great service. Best fish and chips in London

Amazing fish and chips and even better service!

Great place! Fresh food and lovely attention Minna was super nice 🫰🏻

A good atmosphere from which we emerge subtly perfumed. This is also authenticity. 😁 A bit of a wait because it’s made to order and not reheated in the microwave… We opted for the “small” fish and ship. Nobody finished the fries and yet we were all hungry. The waitress was super friendly and loves speaking French.

Fantastic service and food, with great attention from Minna. We will be back!

An institution! Class cod and chips, quick and friendly service!

Love it! Minna was very nice and kind!

The second best fish and chips in London after the two brothers. Quite a big gulf, but still it's a nice batter.

I wish I could have taken more photos, but the moment our food arrived, we were so hungry that we ate it all before I had the chance. The fish and chips we ordered were amazing! The restaurant is a cute place to dine, and our waiter was such a lovely person—he wasn't annoyed at all when we kept asking him for that white sauce. The fish was fresh and delicious. Definitely recommend this place!

We had the Haddock fish and chips, which we recommend. Very good. The impeccable service too!

My friend recommended me this place and it’s worth a visit! Everything looked so fresh!!

minna was so helpful in telling us how to get traditional fish and chips!! such a welcoming environment! thank you!!

Excellent as always. The food is great and the service really works, they have personality and you feel very much wanted there.

Very good place for fish and chips and Oksana S was very kind.

Completamente sobrevalorado ha sido un taxista londinense durante 21 años usado este lugar durante muchos años no aplicó descuento £ 17 para bacalao con papas fritas es una broma este lugar ni siquiera está en una buena zona mucho mejor pescado con papas fritas alrededor de Londres ahora por al menos £ 5 menos y la misma palabra de consejo de calidad no olvides dónde está tu pan y mantequilla 😫

Super nice staff and very original Fish and Chips. All in all a great place

Very nice place and very friendly manager! French people will come again 👍😁 thanks!

Food is delicious and lives up to the hype. Great deal haddock and chips with a drink for £13. Minna is an absolute gem! You can tell she loves life, food, and customers!

Minna is the greatest customer experience I’ve ever experienced. She’s hilarious. Was recommended this place by a guy who passed us walking and heard us talking about fish and chips. Portion sizes like Texas

Very disappointed ordered 3 large chips 1 chips was fresh and other 2 chips was burnt hard and unedible very disappointed and sad as im a walk in customer usally but got delivery today and this is what i get.

Awesome food and service from Minna!
