Customer Reviews
Excellent flavors and very fresh ingredients. The seafood cheesesteak was a hit in our group — savory, satisfying, and unique. Service was warm and attentive, even with the heavy foot traffic. Prices are on the higher side, but the quality of the seafood and overall taste make it feel more justified here than some other stalls. Would definitely return.
This is hands down a wonderful surprise. This is some of the best fish and chips I’ve had in years. Australian style cod fish and chips is great. The fish and chips are both crispy and perfectly cooked. The slaw is pickled and the tartar sauce is delicious with dill in it.
Outstanding hot seafood and a fresh counter to die for, located in bustling Union Market. Met Fiona the Fishwife herself, a happy force of nature. I had the fish (cod) and chips - favorable with anything in London - and brought home several sea treats to make the NYT Cooking Feast of Seven Fishes pot pie. All excellent, sustainably sourced and competitively priced.
There are a lot of seafood menu. The fish taco is good. The fish is cooked nicely. It is moist and flaky. The taco is a bit too thick in my opinion.
This place is such a hit when I want a delicious fish sandwich. My only critique is that I wish the buns were more durable. When getting them delivered, they tend to her a little soggy. The salmon burger is the best! And the fries are a hit.
