20 Mount St London W1 K2HE • 020 7495 7309Description:

The Fish Shop on St John Street
360-362 St. John St London EC1 • 20-7837-1199Description:
CITY. Scouring London can be a draining proposition, so why not fuel yourself with a traditional British meal of deep-fried cod, haddock, skate or plaice and some sinful, hand-cut chips? If that sounds good, steer yourself to this highly recommended eatery, where fresh seafood is always on the menu and the setting is far more upscale than your run-of-the-mill chippie. If fish and chips doesn't tickle your fancy, consider duck confit, grilled wild halibut with béarnaise sauce, or poached smoked haddock with mashed potatoes. Terrific wine list. TUBE: Angel
