We were really hoping for some great fish and chips while visiting London. After having fish and…read morechips twice and not liking them we were losing hope. Someone told us about Kingfisher, and it didn't disappoint. We had the cod. The fish was delicious and it didn't have the skin on it. The batter was light and crunchy and the fish was tender and juicy. The chips tasted like potatoes. There was quite the line, but we figured that meant it was good. We didn't have to wait very long for our food. We had is wrapped up to go (there are not tables or chairs) and walked to the park to eat our meal. The serving size is very generous. Three of us ate a total of 3 pieces of cod and a small serving of chips, and we had food leftover.

I saw The Kingfisher but wasn't able to eat there a few months ago -- but because everyone eating…read morethere appeared to be a local, I made a mental note to return. Today, I managed to find the place again, and I wasn't disappointed. They served me a slab of haddock filet, with a crispy fried exterior and a meaty, juicy interior. The chips were hot and perfect. The other reviewer noted that they are "pricey," but that's because they aren't serving fish sticks. An old-timer in the restaurant told me that The Kingfisher is "the best fish shop in town," and I see no reason to doubt him.

My friends live in Straford-Upon-Avon, so they had been to this place before and like it very much. Chips were fat and hot. I prefer skinner chips, but as I have found out, fat ones are the way of the English! It was priced reasonably . It did take a bit to get our order. It was great place to people watch, and central to our "Straford-Upon-Avon in 5 hours" tour.

We got there a few hours before closing time and couldn't get a table right away - we were told to come back in an hour but we asked if it would still be possible to get their fish & chips. They asked how many of us would want it and all 5 of us did. Ha! Luckily, they were able to hold enough for us to come back once a table was open. The fish was perfectly crispy on the outside. The chips were tasty and the mushy peas were actually good which I wasn't expecting! I'd travel all the way back to England just for this meal at the Scallop Shell.
