Man, they are FAST! Placed an online order for a rush burrito and it was ready about 5 minutes later. The burrito itself was a good size and well-built. Tasty but nothing better than what I've had in SoCal. But because there aren't too many places around here that offer a solid fish burrito, I have to give it to HOOK. I'll be back to try their tacos. read more

This place no longer exists. The street is a little divey. We ended up at a pub that looked like an American look-alike.

The fish and chips were okay here. My husband was a little surprised because it was made out of "real" fish lol. The fish came from fillet where they kept the skin on the fish before it was battered. We appreciated the freshness of the fish. The chips were also good. I liked the shop, it was nicely decorated. It wasn't too far from Camden market either. The bathroom is kind of cool. I just remember that it had some what of an industrial historic feel. The staff was pleasant and efficient. read more

THIS is THE place for fish and chips in London! I ate dinner here for the second time during my most recent trip to London. Hook is located in Camden conveniently close to the tube stop - very easy to get to. The ambiance is hip and slightly modern. Hook takes the classic fish and chips and elevates it with a creative twist. Of course, if you are looking for a classic fish and chips, you can get that here. But you will also find a variety of alternative fish and chips on the menu - cajun, lemon basil tempura, and a few specials of the day, all of which come with a fun homemade sauce that's not just your average tartar sauce. I came here with my boyfriend and sister. We ordered the cajun, curry spice, and squid ink fish and chips (the latter two were specials that day). All were great, we couldn't agree on a favorite. Across all the dishes the fish was super flaky and the outside was crispy. The chips are also some of the best but lacked a little salt. At £13-£14 a dish, Hook isn't cheap. But the fish is sustainably sourced and the flavors are fantastic - rest assured you will be getting some great fish and chips if you dine at Hook! read more

So glad we stopped at this fish and chip. My son who doesn't eat seafood or very much fish came to London and fell in love with fish and chips. We have been to Poppies and a couple of other places but Hook is his favorite!!! Definitely try the sea bream... read more

The best fish and chips we had in England! We were exploring Camden Lock Market and decided to walk over here instead of eating the the market and are SO glad we did.The food is delicious, the service is good, and the prices are reasonable. We got the lemon and basil tempura fish and chips and the malaysian curry panko fish and chips. The fish was fresh and perfectly cooked and the chips were amazing. I love that they work with sustainable fisheries and tell you about the catches of the day. We will definitely be back. Thank you for a great meal! read more

Never in my life have I had fish and chips with more attention to detail. Don't let the paper-lined basket fool you -- it's there for the charm -- this place is as gourmet as they come. Every element of the bream I ordered was meticulously planned, and it showed. The fish was outstandingly fresh, the batter light enough to eat but chock full of herby and lemony flavors. The chips were well seasoned, little half moons instead of proper wedges or fries, but just the perfect thickness, and so hot and crisp they could only have been made fresh. Malt vinegar was available, but absolutely unnecessary because everything was already so well balanced. Even the lemon wedge was huge and juicy. Now, I've seen some reviews claiming that what really makes HOOK special is their sauces. While the garlicy mayo I had was indeed exceptional, it was a totally optional component of the dish. The fish and chips stood strong on its own, without any condiments. The young Italian woman tending to customers was absolutely charming, and was extremely accommodating, giving the whole restaurant a very friendly vibe. The price is a bit premium, but for the service and attention to detail, HOOK is more than worth it, and should be on the short list for any visitor to London. read more

I got your basic panko breaded haddock with tartar sauce and chips. My husband got lemon basil fish with garlic truffle mayo, a side of calamari rings, a raspberry lemonade with vodka, and an Epic Saison. When the order came to the table (quickly, I might add) I thought there was no way we could finish it all - but we did. And it was ALL delish. Nice interior, cheerful service, decent prices for the portion sizes. My husband would pass on the beer, though - don't read the copy on the bottle! read more

HOOK - panko breaded and yummy - Fish & Chips Near Me - London, XGL

So I'm pretty disappointed in this place after being really excited to try it because of all the unique flavor choices. I think if you have obvious first time customers, and from the US mind you.. that you should mention that if they're ordering the fish & chips and it's not cod or haddock which all fish & chips tend to be just about anywhere in the World... . Please INFORM THEM. I ordered this lemon/basil fish & chips and it was not at all good. They used a fish called Sea Bream I believe after reading the reviews. I felt so sorry for myself that I didn't read the reviews previous to ordering this. That's not my job though. It's the servers responsibility to tell me since it's not at all listed anywhere on the latest menu they're giving out. It was fishy, still had the skin attached which was gross to me because of the fishiness it was already giving. This in particular fish is NOT GOOD for frying. It soaked up way too much oil because of its more meaty texture that In my opinion is only good for grilling, baking, broiling or WHATEVER else in the World besides frying. I know this place is probably good because I watched the people next to me tearing the shit up out of their fish which from looking at it was Panko crusted nice & flaky. PROBABLY THE COD OR HADDOCK. They were nodding their heads and looking at each other like .. mm, good right?! Yeah thumbs up. Yum! Yum! Lol oh my god. Sigh. What a damn shame. Giving 2 stars because the fries were delicious and I liked sitting by the door on those comfortable booths people watching, but my fish really sucked and I came all the way on the tube from St John's Wood to Camden Town just to try this place. Thats 3 lines, 2 changes and 11 stops. #TUBEWORLDPROBLEMS read more

Woah. I'm totally hooked. (see what I did there?) This is the best fish and chips in London. Seriously, it is sooo good. You can choose traditional fish and chips OR go with some of their gorgeous sounding (and super tasty) more original flavours. Both fish were good naked, but were *amazing* once you add their sauces. We chose one panko, and one tempura: - Lemon & Fennel Panko Hake with Seaweed Salted Chips & Lemon & Basil Sauce (£10) - Lime, Mint & Wasabi Tempura of Seabream with Seaweed Salted Chips & Basil Chilli Sauce (£12) * We both liked the tempura version more than the panko (it wasn't really panko...it was just normal breadcrumbs - I guess they want to sound more posh!?) * The chips were sooo good. I love using nori for seasoning...and there were so many that it is impossible to finish a whole portion. * They use lots of different types of sustainable fish - so you can keep trying now types and discover that you love them ALL! * I looooved their sauces. * The home-made lemonade was delicious too (I tried lime and mint) I'll definitely go back, and you should go and try it too!! read more

Fish day at Hook Camden. Recommended by many famous bloggers as I has wanted food in Camden which is sometimes a bit ponderous. The venue is bigger than you think but the main space to left and right near Windows is more airy and light than the back bit. Not the most definitive decor or identity if I'm truthful. Not much to give a story about themselves. Though I like sometimes like the idea of it being less 'selly'. Fish ranges from cod, haddock, pollock and coley. Haddock is a particular fav of mine and I know coley to be not the most favoured fish. I choose Hand cut chips, mint mushy peas with Argentinian Panko & chimichurri sauce. Portion is bigger than you realise upon arrival (and delving deep into it all). They do need bigger boxes which act as your plates as it is a bit cramped and the paper tears underneath and it is tough to grab flakey fish with a fork thereafter. Chips or wedge I'd say are a clear winner. Handcut and plenty of them. The minty mushy peas (each got one as a side) are not as flavoursome as I would have hoped. Prefer just a standard chip shop or out of tin mushy peas. I like that the fish is sustainable and that it is all not greasy at all. So much different and cleaner feel than going to a chip shop. The fish I had was good. Very light. I think this is all because of the Panko batter. Or breadcrumb if you will. It's much healthier and much lighter thus its emphasis is on the fish itself. The Panko adds a little texture and flavour. It was interesting to see fish being flavoured with breadcrumbs and I applaude this type of thinking for something deemed conventional. My Argentinian sauce was by far the best one we tried. Others good but this one stood out. My friends liked their fish of classic and Ethiopian. The sauces really added purpose and flavour as a side to the dish so impressed by these sauces esp the Argentinian one. It's defo one to go check for yourself. I myself will come back and try the flavoured tempura fish versions I think which use sea bream and see how different they are. read more

Hook is awesome for so many reasons. Let me count the ways: 1) They promote sustainable fishing. 2) Their fish and chips are great. 3) They have a great beer selection. 4) Staff is friendly. 5) They have vinegar in spray bottles. I had the tempura battered lemon/basil sea bream (aka porgy). Fried perfectly. Not too greasy. Big filet slices. Tons of fries. The decor of the place is also cool, and it's great for groups. read more

We came to try this place after seeing it on Guy Fieri. Pretty good...their fish is fried with panko, but it's not overly thick batter. Their chips..for some reason is so addicting. They provide vinegar sprays? New concept for us, we're used to the bottles! read more

Great fusion fish and chips. Found this place on a whim and decided to try it because of the great Yelp rating. I loved the curry dip that came with the meal and the chips were addictive. The fish was great as well. You can tell it wasn't the typical cod or haddock that is used for traditional fish and chips but, it was a light tasting fish and was panko breaded (as opposed to battered) which was a nice twist on the fish and chips we all are familiar with. I would definitely visit again when I'm in the Camden town area. read more

"Oh my goodness! That was the best fish and chips I've ever had". Says everyone ever. I always do a little smile every time I bring friends, family, work colleagues here as they absolutely love it, but I mean who doesn't! I'm totally in love with Hook if you hadn't guessed. Not in a first love, its over before you know it novelty way but in a golden wedding anniversary way where I want to keep coming here every day for the rest of my life. Trust me, its that good. The staff here are super friendly, they have a great craft beer selection too and are happy to talk about any new beers/breweries they are selling. In fact, I found my beloved Cloudwater brewery as the result of a recommendation through the team at Hook. I've met one of the owners too at Taste of London, what a nice chap. They're just a bunch of very down to earth, genuine, friendly/happy people and you definitely feel that when you arrive.  The food, well what can I say. Its not your usual fish and chips from your local chippy, it definitely has a twist to it but its good to try something a bit different every now and again. Whichever fish you try, whether that's the panko breadcrumbs style or tempura batter it will melt and flake in your mouth. Great flavours too from lemon and basil tempura style to Argentinan panko. Yum! The chips are different too, flat seaweed salty chips (you can't taste the sea honest) and the portions are always extremely generous. I'm a sauce fiend so the mix and match of 6 option is always a winner and you know what I hate more than anything...Calamari! I always have and always will BUT bizarrely I always eat it when I come here. Its so damn good! They must have slipped something in to my drink...or again it could just be the melt in your mouth taste. If you follow Hook on Instagram too you might see a cheeky 50% off offer on Mondays every now and again but I'm reluctantly telling you this as I'm worried that on my regular Monday club trips I won't get a seat but that's the beauty of Yelp I guess...sharing is caring! read more

Best fish and chips I've ever had. I had the Cajun Fish and it was perfect. The chips were fresh slices of potatoes and the sauces were homemade.

Stunning fish and chips for only £10. Panko breadcrumbed haddock with lemon and basil sauce accompanied by proper chips! The restaurant has a very cool vibe and I loved the benched seating. Busy for a Friday afternoon but service was very friendly and fast. The food was delicious. Crispy coated fish with an interesting tangy sauce. Would have loved to have tried the jerk ling but I was completely stuffed after my haddock. Definitely worth the walk from Camden Market to find this place, will be back again! read more

Finally a decent FnC in my local area!!!! There are a few others that are ok, but this place really impressed me, I love the different flavours they have used for the fish and the selection that they have, I'm not an eco warrior but I thought that the sustainable fish idea was in tune with the local area (whole foods and organic green grocers down the street) the chips were crunchy and well seasoned, more importantly they aren't mean with the servings of chips either (my pet hate) The bar menu is really cool, a decent selection of ales and largess which include local breweries such as Camden Hells (very good!) The restaurants has a decent amount of seats, and take away option is available. More importantly the price is really affordable!! Under a £tenner each which you can't argue with in this part of town!! read more

As someone wise once told me, "You don't get fish 'n chips in a pub. You get it at a dedicated fish 'n chips shop." He continues to be right. Hook was excellent. Perfect crust on the fish.

Sunday afternoon lunch after a long walk in Regent's Park. Server was friendly and atmosphere was welcoming. We got the panko crusted haddock and was not disappointed. Light, fresh, flavourful. It was everything that new age fish and chips should be. Also got a side of mushy mint peas which was some of the best i ever had. Refreshing and great addition to the overall meal. Very good quality for the price and exceeded all expectations. read more

This was a great first meal in London. Hook has classic fish and chips that will serve as the metric by which all others in the city are measured. However, their curry fish and chips is also amazing if you're feeling more adventurous. The service was top-notch. The staff were genuinely friendly towards us, happy to offer their recommendations for what to see and do in the area. They struck a nice balance between the relaxed European service style and the more attentive approach to which most Americans are likely to be accustomed. I also greatly appreciate and applaud that they support sustainable fishing. read more

As advertised, their fish is not as greasy! I love how they have a half portion option, I got the lemon and basil which was very good. Chipswise, I've had better chips. Their rhubarb and ginger lemonade was quite excellent, it's a combo that didn't occur to me would work but it does. read more

Really lovely restaurant, modern interior. I had the classic fish & chips and it was really delicious! The fish had been fried in real bread crumbs which made it extra crispy. The chips were really good too, really well baked (there was a little too much chips in my opinion, but I am not a huge eater so it might please some people!). Not expensive and great quality overall, highly recommend! read more

We enjoyed two portions of the small fish and chips of the month. It was some sort of Asian twist. We can't remember. Anyway, it was very good. I forgot to take pictures. The service was very good. We didn't book our reservation for our Groupon correctly and they were very kind to accommodate us anyway. Just a note that the small fish and chips is good if you have a small appetite. And you'd still probably have chips to spare. The regular size fish and chips is very large. We saw them at the table next to ours. Oh! The flavored lemonades were refreshing! The decor is really cool. Bathrooms were large and clean. read more

The food is edible - but if you're looking for proper British fish & chips, look elsewhere. Given that chips are essentially what most fish and chip shops (chippies) are ranked on, I'm really confused why Hook went down the route of a strange oven baked, wedge-chip hybrid. Sure, they tasted fairly healthy, but they lacked substance and were 100x less satisfying than your standard chip shop chip. On to the fish. Their "classic" fish is coated in a panko breadcrumb crust, not batter. End result - dry fish. Lastly. I don't usually comment on condiments, but their ketchup is utterly bizarre. I don't know if they made this themselves, but it was not good. An overly sweet, runny, tomato concoction. Just stick to Heinz I'll emphasise again, this is far from an authentic British fish and chip shop. There are hundreds in London, take your pick. read more

My husband and I went there after seeing it on Diners, Drive-Ins, & Dives. There are different choices for the batter and depending on which batter you choose, you will get cod or haddock. The lemon batter sounded good, so I got cod. My husband chose a spicy batter and got haddock. I'm not sure why, but my lemon battered cod was very greasy and so was the chips. I tried my husband's haddock and it tasted very good. His chips were not greasy, either. The minty mushy peas were underwhelming. Maybe there was too much mint in them. The service was very friendly. I'm not sure if I'd make the effort to go back, though. read more
