"Open since 1968, Fish Central is one of London’s crème de la crème fish and chip experiences. The Clerkenwell mainstay will butter your bread in more ways than one (namely, for the triangles that come with your prawn cocktail), and a meal here feels like a reassuring return back to simpler times. Turkish-run, with a takeaway shop and separate bakery next door, Fish Central prides itself on good produce and familial service. A portion of cod or haddock and chips is pleasing, not spectacular, but made all the better by the locals that surround you and the thought of crumble and custard for dessert." - heidi lauth beasley, jake missing, sinead cranna, rianne shlebak, daisy meager
