Restaurant Review: Fish! Kitchen, Kingston-upon-Thames
posted Monday, 24 April 2006
I've been meaning to blog about this for a few weeks now and not got round to it...
At the end of 2005, the long-established (and excellent) Jarvis Fishmonger of Coombe Road, Kingston-upon-Thames (well, Norbiton really) opened an informal restaurant in conjunction with Tony Allen's chain, 'Fish!'
To call the place a glorified chippy is unfair. Using Jarvis' top-notch and sustainable fish, the place turns out traditional battered fish and chips with mushy peas, but also freshly grilled fish, lobster, fish soup, fishcakes... and a number of specials.
For those looking for cheap eats, this is not really the place - eat-in haddock and chips, for example, comes in at £9.75. Buy, boy, it's delicious. The same dish as a take-out is £6.75.
The fish - as you'd expect - is perfectly cooked, the beer-batter light, crispy and tasty. The chips are big, crisp on the outside and fluffily delicious on the inside. And the tartar sauce is pretty good too!
To my mind, cheap fish tells its own story. Fish is a valuable product and should be reveared. And this restaurant is doing a great job.
