Great waitress. I got super bites sampler and wife the standard cod fish and chips. Kind of bland batter but great fresh fish

Just visited last night which was my last night in London. I set out to find a good place to get fish and chips and this place delivered in a big way. I asked the waiter what was the dish ordered the most which happened to be the Cod fish and chips. The food was delivered piping hot. Fish was cooked perfectly. Huge portion. Not greasy at all. And the fries were some of the best that I have ever eaten. I'm not sure how they were made but they appeared to be fresh cut and fried potatoes. Perfectly cooked. I was very pleased with my last meal in London. Highly recommend this place. read more

Food was amazing, but the service was pretty dire and very unfriendly. Didn't even understand what a battered sausage was.. Sauces were cheap and drinks were small. Real let down. read more

Total dive, but boy, was it good! We ate here on our last night in London, as it was right by the hotel & we had not yet experienced fish & chips. We arrived just before closing, but were greeted by the friendly waitress, who did not act at all put upon by our late arrival. The portions are huge, and I do mean HUGE. We easily could have split 1-2 meals among the three of us. Unfortunately quite a bit of food was wasted, but at least their prices are extremely reasonable! read more

A great no nonsense fish and chip restaurant and takeaway. The portions are HUGE and always cooked perfectly; crispy batter with no soggy bits, perfectly flakey fish and lightly browed thick-cut chips. They are without a doubt 10/10 and I've eaten this English delicacy in most places around the UK. The price is also really reasonable for the amount and quality of the food. The restaurant area is great in my opinion. Completely basic, but it adds to the authenticity of the greasy spoon feel and after all you're coming here for the food and not a 5 star dining experience. Last time I went for a takeaway and the man serving me was an absolute grump, but who cares, this is a chippy love, not The Ivy. If you go without any expectations and just eat it's a great place. This may sound strange to tourists, but the British relationship with fish and chips calls for this kind of low key delivery. For something that used to be eaten out of old newspaper sheets (the hot oil would allow toxic ink to seep into the food) anything too fine would somehow spoil the tradition. What I also like is that the customers really vary from locals to workmen to post theatre goers in the evenings so it's actually a great atmosphere and always packed. It has a big following. The only reason I knocked one star off is because they have a sign proclaiming that they fry in ground nut oil and yet you can clearly see giant vats of vegetable oil behind the counter. Peanut oil is a healthier choice compared to commercial use veg oil, which is usually a blend of all sorts of yak. But once in a while, these are some of the best fish 'n' chips going south of the river. read more

The real deal. If you're American and grew up with the Van De Kamp's fish sticks, you'll probably pass out when you see the size of this mother of all fish fillets. It's fresh and you should never have them put this fine piece of fish in a bag for eating later. It's imperative that you sit down, order a beer and enjoy the shrimp, lager and wait for this fine fish. I walked over 1.8 miles each way to enjoy the halibut. Worth every step. read more

Nice locals place. Fish (cod) and chips were quite good. Served with a load of tartar sauce and ketchup if you needed them. Malt vinegar at the table as well of course. Very inexpensive & large portions. Steer clear of the other menu items however. The pickle spear & pickled onions tasted like they used industrial vinegar and cleaning fluid. Gack. Deserts were disappointing as well. Rum raisin ice cream tasted like it was made with embalming fluid. Horrid. Sticky pudding was hot & sticky, but that is about it. Decent fish & chips, but not epic. Not worth a special trip. read more

If you ever wondered whether a restaurant's interior could make you feel depressed, a dinnertime visit to Masters Super Fish will confirm that it definitely can! Just along busy Waterloo Road, Masters Super Fish is a real hole-in-the-wall. Walking in during dinner time, the restaurant was mostly empty, except for a few tables of men who were eating by themselves. If you go, get takeout or maybe try lunchtime. Onto the food. The cod fillets are huge--unlike a lot of fish and chips places in the U.S. that give you several pieces, here you get one dinner plate-sized fillet. The fish was incredibly fresh and flavorful, as promised. The breading came crispy but with all the fish juices, the bottom was soggy by the time I got to it. But the cod was really good! Chips were not consistent--some were crispy while others were soft and potatoey. Best to go for the fish and peel off the fried stuff. read more

The portions are huge. The fish is perfectly fried on the outside, nice and fresh on the inside. Not too greasy. The free bread and tiny shrimps are nice too. read more

This place serves the best fish and chips in London, in my humble opinion. Located adjacent form my hotel in London, I had dinner or a snack here almost everyday. Guys in there are friendly and always made sure I had my malt vinegar for my fries and fish. If you're ever in London, check them out. I know I will when I go back read more

I don't like fish and chips, but my friend really wanted to try fish and chips in London, so I searched up a place on Yelp, and we decided to try Masters given its great reviews and proximity to the London Eye (which we had wanted to ride later that evening). I still don't like fish and chips, but if you do, I'd absolutely recommend Masters Super Fish. Really low prices, very fresh fish, and enormous portions. My friend and I split the cod and chips, and we didn't finish. They also bring out some cold shrimp to start, which we didn't eat, but I thought it was a nice touch. It also seems to be more of a local spot than a tourist one. I'm not sure if the guys next to us were just pulling our legs, but they were really amused to see us there and hear us speak (since we were clearly not British). They told us they'd been coming here weekly for 15 years and this was really a local spot, so they wondered how we had found it (thank you, Yelp!). read more

Disclaimer: I visited this restaurant as an American tourist (who lives in Europe). Disclaimer of my disclaimer: When it comes to restaurants on vacation, I do A LOT of research. If you want the fish and chips experience, find a decent pub and order the dish there. However, if you want the best fish and chips in town, check out Masters Super Fish. Although London is not known for the best fish and chips in the UK, this is the top place for fish and chips in London. Fish is hot and moist while the batter is crisp and not soggy. They have the traditional cod as well as various other types of fish both fried and grilled. My wife and I both got the Masters Special which is a HUGE piece of cod with more chips than you know what to do with. If you don't have a massive appetite and are going for the cod, just get the regular size. As a bonus, everyone gets 3 boiled shrimp as a free appetizer (along with bread and butter), and after your meal arrives you will be offered free pickles (gherkins). They also have a take-away window. read more

I would recommend this place to anyone going to London, looking for a real fish & chips experience! My mom and sister both got the Cod and I ordered the Superbites (sampling of 4 kinds of fish). It was delicious! There was one fish on my plate that just melted in your mouth. I have no idea which one it was since they were not labeled... But it was the 2 thinnest pieces of fish on the plate (I received about 8 pieces in my order.) The fries were hit or miss depending on which ones you ate since they varied in shape, size and therefore also varied in "done-ness". If you sit down you get little shrimp which are seasoned well, the tarter sauce, ketchup, malt vinegar, and the pickles (a pickled cucumber spear & half an onion). If you get the food to go it is cheaper, but I'm guessing you don't get any of the thing listed above in the to-go orders. The service was not at all warm, but for the amazing food it still earns 4 stars! read more

I spent a good amount of time trying to decide where I could get the best fish and chips during our time in London and settled on Masters mostly based on the pictures posted. It didn't disappoint! Hubby got the large (LARGE! nearly falling off the edge of the oval plate!) cod special and I got the haddock. They didn't ask about batter type but when the food arrived the cod had the classic golden crispy batter while my haddock was a lighter mustard-based crust. The waiter said if I didn't like it they could change it, but this way we could try a couple different things. And this is what I would recommend - the mustard was a nice touch and the batter itself very light. Their classic batter was delicious! Slightly sweet with perfect texture. Our fries were good, more golden/done as I noticed the couples' next to us were very light and not so appealing. Overall pretty good prices as far as London goes. It's small, cramped and homey inside. Not quite dirty but there were some flaky fish bits on the chairs. Plenty of tourists and locals eating in and steady to-go traffic as well. Solid place! read more

A lot of the previous reviews on here have nailed it: The fish is moist and flaky on the inside, while crispy and not oily on the outside. I didn't care for the "chips" very much, but I don't like the thicker cut English fries as much anyways. The lunch special is a good deal and a HUGE portion of fish and chips. read more

For 5£ I had the best fish and chips of my life. One block over from my H10 Waterloo hotel. Love this place. Got take out and enjoyed it in my hotel. The fish is huge and super crisp and delicious. The portions are huge. read more

Visited London for a few days, and we heard that this was the place to go to for the best fish & chips. The place wasn't really much to look at, but the food was really delicious. If I lived in London, I would probably go eat here every week. read more

We had horrible Fish n Chips in Picadilly Circus on our first night. We asked the cabbie & he recommended this place. Boy was it good! The fish was plentiful for UK & US standards. If you go anywhere in UK, the portions are half the size of a US portion. The batter was thick and crispy but the insides were moist & tender. Fries were just excellent and not soggy at all. Like a lot of family businesses, they're closed on Sundays so make sure you go during the week! This place is a must-try if you're in London, for sure. read more

We went here because our taxi driver recommended it. The ambiance isn't the greatest but the fish and chips were good. I can't remeber which fish I ordered but i think it might be the master special. Huge piece of fish. It's a huge piece that still had skin on one side so I think it might be fresh fish. The batter is so crispy and fluffy looking. My fish stayed crispy til the end. I'm not sure what fish they used but it was s nice white fish that was not fishy. It tasted almost creamy read more

Came seeking fish & chips in London and glad we chose this place. Very nice staff and simple but straightforward food.

Best fish and chips I ever had. A must stop. I got the masters special. My husband and I were able to get full off of it with chips remaining. Loved the pickles. Food is definitely good. Makes up for the not so friendly waitress. She was getting frustrated with us and asked if we were ready to order yet when she never came to say hello or even offered to get us our drinks. I didn't know it was a bother to have customers. If service was better, definitely a 5 star joint. read more

This will always be my go to spot when I am in town. It really is a local gem that doesn't look very nice outside but truly made up for it in value and quality. When I discovered this place there was a takeout line going outside full of locals ( including police and if you see police eating there you know it's good) and I shared a table with an older Londoner who was very nice and even gave me tips about London. The shrimp and bread was a bit strange but the fish and chips were everything you would expect from a proper fish n chips place. Huge portions for a great value makes this place the best fish n chips place in London. read more

As good as it gets. Good fish, lovely taste, not overly greasy, fantastic portions (Master's special is HUGE), and nice guys working the kitchen. It's all done to order, so expect it to take 5 minutes or so to cook up -- well worth the wait. If the weather is nice enough, you can save a few quid by ordering takeaway from the kitchen window (you'll see it when you go through the front door) and walking a block north to the park to enjoy your meal -- ordering takeaway is cheaper by £1-2. read more

I've not had and fish n chips elsewhere in the UK, but this is easily one of the best fish n chips I've ever had. I had the cod. It was thick and super flakey! The chips were crunchy on the outside, but thick n meaty on the inside. It's not a pub, it's not a fancy restaurant. The people here are nice though, and the food (a lot of it) makes up for anything else! read more

I came here with colleagues, both of whom live in England. They both recommended this place for fish and chips, and they were right. The fish comes in daily, and fries and fish are cooked to order. The batter was light, and the fish was not greasy. I had the Cod fish and chips. The chips had a nice, crisp flavor. This restaurant is not elegant by any means, this is about the food. It's not a pub or fancy restaurant - it is more like a diner in the US. I skipped the shrimp they brought out before dinner, preferring my shrimp to be headless and legless. You order at the counter or at your table, they cook it and bring it out to you. We also had mushy peas - I had never had them before, and they tasted a little like thick pea soup without any salt. It's an easy walk to the Waterloo station. read more

The best fish and chips I have ever had! The breading was light and flaky with just the perfect amount of greasiness. The waiter was excellent and brought out bread and shrimps. The chips were big and crispy and complimented the perfect fish. Nice little clean hole in the wall, highly recommend. read more

Good food. convenient location. Good beer. Consistent quality. Thumbs up!

Mmmmmmmm.... the best fish and chips I've had in a very long time. The large sized cod was lightly deep fried to perfection. The fried outer layer was light and crisp and cod was tender and juicy. The fish was fresh as it didn't taste fishy. The fries were lightly fried and it didn't taste too oily which was a good thing. The mushy peas was great too! read more

I'm giving this place 3 stars, because, although the food is phenomenal, the service is awful. My hubby and I wanted to have a fish and chips night on Thursday this week and we chose this place based on its great reviews in Yelp. When we arrived to the restaurant, there was a line in front of the take-away counter, but we weren't sure if it was the take away line or the dining in line. I just wanted to look inside to see if there is a separate line within the restaurant, it wasn't, and while I was asking if the line was for the take away to a lady in the line, somebody, which turned out to be one of the waiters or owners of the place, told me to stop there and that they will call us when there is availability in an extremely rude manner. A moment later, he came back and told us there is a place for two and we became "eligible" to eat here. I saw the same guy shouting to other patrons as well about where they need to stand and when to enter the dining room. But how hard could it be to write a note to the front door saying that "The line start here, and wait for your waitress to be seated". As a first timer, how am I supposed to know what is inside our what the regulars do when they arrive. There is nothing I can say more about the food. It was delicious. Bread, butter and shrimp appetizer are served immediately. Hubby got the Master's Fish, and I got the haddock (? not sure). Both were very soft and tasty, and the portions were huge. We also didn't like the ambiance. Not that we expected fine dining experience, but the tables were very close and it was very loud! At first, we were ok with it, but then a big group arrived and were seated next to us. We were so close and we were almost the extension of their group. It was so loud, and my hubby and I finished our food very quickly even without talking to each other. We just wanted to leave and never come back. Again, if you are in for a great food with the softest fish & chips, order a take out and eat it in the park close by. Although we loved the food, I don't think we will ever go again. read more

We were looking for a great fish and chips place. Yes, it's divey. Our clothes smell of fried food after dinner. Still, the fried fish was really great and the mustard pan-fried cod was spectacular. The french fries were acceptable but a little dry and tough. The mushy peas needed something--butter and/or salt, maybe. The cole slaw salad was good. We thought Masters was very, very good--but not as good as Robin Hood Pub in Sherman Oaks, IMHO. read more

A take-away price of £7.50 for a huge portion of crispy deep fried fish goujons and even more delicious chips, plus a side of decently mushed mushy peas and a more-than-enough cupful of tangy home-made tartar sauce makes a cheap, cheerful, and absolutely delicious dinner for two. read more

Good hearty fish and chips. Honestly for me after the fish has been heavily battered and deep fried I couldn't tell the difference between the different types. I ordered plaice and my wife ordered cod and I liked them both. The standard starter of boiled shrimp and pickles were a pleasant surprise. The chips were perfect, crispy on the outside and fluffy inside. A gentleman was having mashed peas which I had never seen so I had to try and I liked it. read more

The food was delicious. I ordered the traditional cod and was served bread and butter as well as 4 prawns (shrimp to all the Americans out there) while I waited. The chips were absolutely amazing! They were served piping hot and, after a generous dousing in malt vinegar and salt, I was in heaven! The fish was good, too. The breading had a good flavor and wasn't too heavy. For £7.50, you can't beat the excellence of this shop. read more

Im a regular visitor. Not disappointed. Did notice they now serve a couple of beers on tap.
