Fish! Restaurant Review
Borough Market is London’s alternative zoo: feeding time lasts ALL day and the exhibits are all jam-packed with bizarre and interesting animals that, for the right price, can actually be eaten. It’s the kind of place one would find wild truffles that can only be sourced by a pig with a Phd; where the cheeses are so perfectly ripe they are delivered by time machine; where the venison will not only cook itself but also help you choose the right wine to accompany it.
The award-winning and highly-acclaimed 'fish! restaurant' has been a mainstay attraction for some time. The sunken kitchen and curved glass architecture give it an ironic fish bowl appearance, whilst the staff must clearly be teaching ‘sincerity’ classes to TGI Fridays employees in their spare time.
The menu adopts the Woolworth’s approach to Pick&Mix selecting with the fish section largely dictated by what their fishmonger managed to catch that day (aka, FRESH). Overall, the dining experience is one that would always be recommended. Unless you’re broke. Or hungover. Or both.
However, it is the recent installation of the 'fish! kitchen' next door that should put pay to both these predictaments. Cheap food, freshly made. With chips. What else could a penniless drunkard ask for?
For all its variety, the market lacked that quintessential English chippy. Only now it has one. The simple combination of freshly cooked fish and low, low prices has already gained the Kitchen a Time Out ‘Best Cheap Eats’ nomination. Throw in some nostalgic mushy peas, tourist-confusing pickled eggs/onions (“What the Hell is THAT?”) and a small seating area where one can watch the jealous eyes of the world go by and suddenly you’ve created a comfort zone amidst the madness.
So, if you Haddock nuff of the same old Soleless Plaices, for Cod’s sake, Skate down to the 'fish! kitchen' just for the Halibut. Don’t Tuna it’s good for you?*

Food
fish! remains true to its original premise on which it was originally founded; fresh, sustainable fish, simply prepared and fairly priced. All of the fish they serve is prepared daily at their own long established fishmonger, Jarvis.
