Wallpaper Magazine Compares Natoora to Fancy Restaurant Soap Aesop | Eater London

"An American seafood franchise is opening its first U.K. restaurant in Camden Town, trading on a brash slogan that invites customers to 'slap some fresh in your face.' The concept specialises in fish served between or wrapped in carbs — fish and chips, fish tacos, a fish burrito — and also offers both a poke bowl and a so-called 'Hawaiian' bowl. With 11 U.S. locations and 13 more listed as 'coming soon,' the brand is pursuing rapid expansion into the U.K. market." - James Hansen

Such delicious food! We got the coconut shrimp bowl for $10 on a Sunday as part of the loyalty app. You cannot get seafood this good anywhere else in town for this price!

Love it, I asked for my burger with cod to go, and the gentleman serving was very kind. I had never been here, and he was ready to answer any questions I had. He was very patient, and the staff was very quick with my to-go food. Not to mention that the bag for the to-go food is sunning. It looks like you went shopping. Seriously, look at the pics. The bathroom floor was a little sticky, but that's my only complaint. Overall, it was a very pleasant experience, and the food is delicious. 10/10 would come again.

This is a great little spot. Good options for food and drinks. I went for the bowl with steak and it was great. The food thing is that they give you tons of options for sauces which all are fantastic. The service here is perfectly reasonable. Very helpful and every thing is clean. Next time I'm in Albuquerque I will be stopping in to here

Their taco Tuesday deal is great! Also kids eat free on Tuesdays. Our family tried steak, mahi mahi, and salmon tacos as well as macaroni and cheese and the shrimp rice bowl kids meals. All of it was very tasty including a variety of sauces. The guys working there were friendly and I appreciated the help from the cashier. The fish was tasty! I'm glad we gave it a try.

This used to be a good place to eat, have eaten at this location a bunch of times. Unfortunately the food on the menu had changed for the worse. The fish and chips were greasy, salty, overcooked, mostly breading (little to no fish) and the fries were cold. Service was terrible. Ordered the Poke Bowl, another very terrible change! I will NOT be eating at this restaurant again!!! Very disappointed!!!!

🫤 meh. Not as delicious as some of the pictures make it out to be. My first time at this place and wasn’t too impressed. I really wanted to try their lobster roll, but they said they did have the correct bread for the roll. I also wanted to try their chowder fries but they were out of chowder. So instead I got the shrimp cocktail and it wasn’t too impressive. The shrimp were just small frozen thawed shrimp. Kinda lame. At least they were fresh for being in NM. The lobster grilled cheese was ok. It wasn’t bad but it wasn’t good either.I paid market price for the lobster grilled cheese and for the entire meal, it wasn’t too filling. At least the girl at the counter was nice and helpful.

I just moved to Uptown last month, and I was very pleased to visit this establishment for the first time recently. I will be frequenting this place often. The food is always delicious and so super healthy. Employees are very courteous and professional. My favorites are their Poke Bowl and the Sweet and Spicy Cauliflower. Do yourself a favor and try them.

Food was extremely bland and tasteless. The steak in bowl was super dry and had a very disgusting taste to it. The lady behind the counter was very friendly. Food was way over priced for what we received. I have no clue what was going on with the clam chowder.

We haven't been here (and lived here 6 years) first timers and it is awesome!! I got the fish and chips my wife got the lobster roll. Both tasted so good!! Cool little spot. Went today (Thursday) and there was no one in here, sad for a weekday, but we got furloughed so why not try something. Service was awesome and fast too!! Will absolutely be back!!

I work in the uptown area so I'll come here sometimes. Usually my experience is decent the restaurant is clean and the food is good. Their service is always really fast. Yesterday I got some take out clam chowder and a coconut shrimp bowl. My bowl of soup was disappointingly sad. I didn't eat any of it before I took this picture there's very very little soup. The flavor wasn't great either. Hopefully it was just an off day.

For an "order at the counter" spot, Slapfish is top notch. It was easy to order online and pick up. Quantities are large. I loved the fish sandwich!

The bowls were delicious! My cod was crispy and full of flavor. Granny's shrimp bowl was so good it was gone in seconds! One of my favorite things about this place is the variety of organic drinks by Tractor. They also have a good variety of draft beers on tap.

Fast service and great food. The staff was quick to help and brought out my food quickly. Only weirdness was that there were a lot of dirty tables with no urgency to get them clean. Still will be back!

Kind of a role of the dice with this place. The veggies in the salad are really good. The fish is sometimes good, and sometimes very fishy tasting. Mostly, just make sure you have time to wait - even if the restaurant looks slow - often 30+ minutes. It seems like they kinda bill themselves as quick service since you order at counter, but it's darn slow. Maybe I'm mistaken

A nice meal for 3 in a very clean establishment with friendly staff. What kept me from adding a fifth star was the overcooked ahi tuna (in a bowl) and somewhat overcooked grilled fish (in fish and chips). The flavors were delicious and the presentation was appreciated. We will definitely be back (this was our second visit, previous one was 2-3 years ago.

I have been going to Slapfish for about close to 4 years now. Delicious food. Servings were decadent. Take a look at my pictures, you'll see what I am talking about. Unfortunately, I will admit, I never got around to writing a review for them. It would have been 5 stars, hands down. But upon my latest visit, that is certainly not the case. They made a huge change to their menu. I will admit, I am not sure how long this change has been in place. I was with the work fam and here's how lunch went. I ordered Lobster and Crab Melt. I asked for truffle parm tater tots instead of fries. There was also a Lobster Roll with brussel sprouts instead of fries. A Poke Bowl and a Fish Sandwich. Two orders of the parm tater tots arrived at our table quite quickly. Small orders I might add, there were about 13 tots in the bowl. Two other plates showed up in about 15 minutes, the melt and the fish sandwich. My melt came with fries. I guess she just charged my $4.95 for 13 tots. The lobster roll came in another 5 minutes or so, with, brussel sprouts and fries! The three of us picked gingerly at our food waiting for the last order, the poke bowl. Which took another almost 15 minutes to arrive! The service was weird, our food came out in intervals, and incorrectly. My melt was, mediocre. Honestly couldn't tell the different between the lobster and the lump crab in my melt. Was there any lobster? There was a lot of cheese. LOL! It was just not a good visit.

Ordered the Poke Bowl ($16) - very good portion size, good quality ingredients. Very flavorful, just make sure you grab a sauce for the rice, slap sauce is very good.

We did take-out from Slapfish in the last weekend of July. There were some really good things to say, but there were some very amateur mistakes that, seriously, you could have avoided. I should mention that one thing I hate about take-out, is that it leaves the door WIDE OPEN for mistakes not only to be made, but to go unaccounted for. I did take a look at the food and the general orders were correct (we did get all of our ordered entrées), but the details of our orders were not done correctly. So let me start with the good things... The food was F-R-E-S-H. My whole family loved that and we couldn't shut up talking about how flavorful it was. I won't give a whole novel on all the entrées, but I can say we all found our plates very delicious with flavor, texture, all the great things that come with fresh ingredients. While I was waiting for the food, I had a chance to check their men's room. It was reasonably clean, organized, and modeled well. I also observed the dining area, it was clean and organized. Reflecting back, there weren't that many people there so maybe it was before the evening rush(?). So with all that good stuff, what could possibly have gone wrong? Well, I did request the take-out order to be ASAP, which left 14 minutes between the time on my computer's clock and when "ASAP" would be. I did not get there in time, but strangely enough the food was not ready either. That was odd. So why would the timer give only 14 minutes for 5+ entrées? Are the cooks that good? So something wasn't right, either the time estimation was wrong or the preparation was slow. Something needs correcting there. I also requested a few specific options with three of the orders. One order was to have cucumbers on the side (which they were not), another to have NO avocado (it did avocado, I hate avocado), and a third with slam sauce (which it didn't have). So shame on me for not checking closer and holding accountability for these. I don't live in Albuquerque, so I don't think I will return any time soon. But the freshness was definitely memorable in a very good way. If other patrons can confirm this, then this was probably just an order gone "less than perfect". In a business where serving fresh food without breaking somebody's bank is probably challenging, I believe credit should be given here. Come for the freshness, I think you will be well pleased (hopefully you'll get the slam sauce you asked for).

It's an order-at-the-counter seafood place, which isn't something you see except on the coasts How's the fish in albuquerque? Dang good. We had the lobster roll and the lobster/crab melt and both were delicious. Prices are generally reasonable...but check the market price on the lobster roll before you commit. Enjoy

Yelp
We went to Slapfish specifically for a lobster roll. The posted menu said the price was $26.95. It's a bit high but lobster rolls are generally high. The cashier told us that price was incorrect and it should say "market price" instead. He said market price was $36.95. We asked him to check with the manager who was within earshot and within view. The manager agreed the price should be $36.95, even though the sign clearly said $26.95 (as does their website). We instead purchased a shrimp scampi roll and an order of fish and chips. The fish and shrimp were ok. The fries were overdone. As a side note, we were there about 6:30pm on a Friday and only one other customer was there.

Location was great, the ambiance was casual since there weren't too many people it wasn't noisy. I could see where if it was full with people it would be a noisy dining. It's the typical now-in-Day decor- open open, metal chairs, rustic board accent wall. Child review- Lobster grilled cheese was really good it a perfect amount of lobster and was perfectly stacked I love it it was yummy also the side salad was good with the sauce. I had fish and chips and fish I requested was salmon. It was a bit greasy and should probably gone with grilled. There weren't enough fries to go with my fish. The tartar sauce was really tasty. I also ordered a shrimp salad with fresh cucumbers, tasty cherry tomatoes, cabbage shreds, spinach and red onions with the shrimp. I should have stuck with only the shrimp salad.

I'll admit, I was impressed with the freshness and quality of the food at Slapfish! My wife and I had always wanted to pop in and try it and today was the day. Glad we made the decision. I had the power bowl and my wife had the fish-N-chips. We were both pleasantly surprised by the flavors, the textures and the overall service. Everything was cooked to perfection and brought out to our table in record time! We will be back to visit soon!

Went there after trying to find a good fish place with high hopes. Wife ordered fish tacos and I ordered fish and chips. First, the fish tacos were literally just fish sticks that looked like they were pulled from a bag you find at the market, the tortillas were stale and the salsa had the consistency of blended whole limes with some unripe tomatoes. The food was nasty. I ordered the fish and chips. Again, 3 little fish sticks with a tartar sauce whose main ingredient must have been salt because that's all you tasted. I thought, I'll eat the fries and sure enough they were just as salty as the tartar sauce. I went to complain about the taste and their response was to give me a new tartar sauce. The place was extremely cold with an older family bundled up in blankets to keep warm. DO NOT GO HERE, is you plan on having a good meal. Very unhelpful and the guy cooking the food could hear me and never even acknowledged or tried to make it right.

Super disappointed! Apparently they changed menus 2 days ago and they ruined everything! Used to love this place, surf 'n turf burger all the fucking way- but now they have stupid shit like plant based shrimp? WTAF. This will be the last time here. Stupid corporate fucks.

Their management is really on top of things. They've fixed the timing on their fish and chips so that the batter doesn't get burned. The batter is now light golden and fish is firm yet tender, not mushy and tasteless. As a plus, the brussels sprouts are also roasted crisp, with a perfect glaze. The tater tots are also fried to the proper consistency and not overly greasy. Everything was delectable!

In my opinion, Slapfish is a little overpriced for what you get. It is pretty decent but not somewhere I would go out of my way to go. I went the other night with a friend who was craving lobster and I ordered the fish and chips. My first mistake was ordering the larger size with two filets instead of one because the filets were much larger than I expected. Looking back, I should have known lol. The dipping sauce was fantastic though! Super good. The fish was good too, rather oily but that is usually the name of the game with fish and chips. The fries were somewhat undercooked though. I do love french fries and their fries would have been the perfect size because I like a medium thick fry, these were just too firm and a bit undercooked. I ordered a bottled rootbeer because I really wanted a soda and it was great. They have a really decent selection of sodas and even some local wines and beers. It is somewhere you can eat fast or hang out for a bit and I do appreciate their patio outfront.

"Salsa looked like bean dip. It was brown and tasted sour and old. None of us ate it. The fish taco was not what it used to be . Edible but not great. Told lady at the counter about our take on the salsa and she said " I will let them know. Nothing else. Do not eat there.

We wanted to celebrate my MIL birthday. Everywhere was busy on a Saturday night. So we ended up trying Slapfish bc it didn't have a long wait. It was a cold night at Slapfish bc they only had outside seating. There was limited seating outside and limited lamps to keep us warm. When we finally found 2 tables, per the governor's orders, we couldn't sit together bc we had 6 ppl. We ordered inside and they brought our food out to us. We started with Shrimp Ceviche bc I love ceviche. It came with toasted chips. I was excited to try their Seafood, so I ordered their most expensive item, apparently. Lobster roll with fries was MP ($22-$25)?! And SO got the Clobster Grilled Cheese with clam chowder, which was less expensive. Overall, we thought the food was bland. Honestly, the Shrimp Ceviche lacked much flavor. The chips were crunchy, but needed salt. The sandwiches were tasty, but weren't the best. The bread got soggy quick. SO didn't care for his Clobster grilled cheese bc it was greasy, but at least the cheese was stretchy. He enjoyed the clam chowder more. But I was hungry, so I made sure to finish everything. MIL enjoyed her Poké Tuna bowl at least. Service was attentive and patient. The food came out pretty fast. They didn't bring 1 out of the 2 Shrimp Ceviches, but they made it fast while adding extra chips. The next day, I ate the leftover Shrimp Ceviche and added Tabasco sauce and cilantro to brighten it up a bit. I see what Slapfish was trying to do with their branding. Trying to make Seafood approachable by keeping it simple with different styles. I just wish their signature Lobster Roll had more flavor.

Two locations in Albuquerque but the same menu. We like the one near Burger 21 because we can eat at one establishment and take home from the other. The lobster roll is my favorite, the price is just what it is. Highly recommended. Join Tom Neiman and me reporting on this location on our weekly food podcast: https://youtu.be/H5hDGFD6vgw

Slapped by Slap Fish I was working in NM for a few days so I searched "best fish sandwich near me". Highly rated, Slap Fish was within walking distance. I ordered the Fish Sandwich Blackened and the Spicy Tuna Taco was just calling me especially after she said "They are appetizer size" when I asked how many (3) and how big? As you can see by the plating, the fried were the star of the dish. They were crispy, hot, seasoned well but under salted. And as we know, adding salt to fries at the table is much different than adding it properly and immediately after they come out of the oil (or the air fryer). Salt them better and I will return just for your fries. The fish sandwich was ok, meh. Too much bread and other stuff in relation to the amount of fish. The spicy tuna taco special was bad. Pretty sure it was the Old El Paso taco corn shells (why not soft small tortilla). We all know those OEP types need some juicy ground beef or pork or chicken to soften up those hard and dry shells. In this case, the overall dryness of the plate was amplified because the tacos were sitting on a bed of raw dry cabbage and more than half of the taco was filled with it. What a dry bite, sheesh. The cabbage was not salted to extract water and to soften it, it wasn't seasoned with anything. Next, I tried eating tuna solo. It was spicy (hot sauce, Tabasco, or sriracha and green onions) but it was one note and contributed to the overall dry theme. It needed some mayo, some shoyu, some sesame oil. So I dunked it in the chipotle mayo and that helped A LOT along with a big cup of water. If I return, it'll only be for the fries.

We splurged on a takeout lobster roll and citrus crab roll. Absolutely no flavor either one. And the accompanying red cabbage cold slaw was equally dry and boring. Wow. I never paid that much for a lobster roll even in Maine. Polite service but a very disappointing meal. Would never go back

I am so upset that I only visited Slapfish on my last visit to ABQ! As I travel for work, choosing a chain restaurant for a meal is not my first choice. Man, I was so wrong about this one. The key to Slapfish, as the waitstaff from the register informed me, "Choose the fish, then choose the dish". As the restaurant is always serving seafood that is currently fresh and sustainable, it's difficult to make a poor decision. I would go into detail about my dishes, but they were all great! One of my favorites was the variety of hot sauces available. All are of the Snapfish brand, but they do not shy away from heat and the flavors are solid. The website suggests, "Slapfish takes the fine dining mantra and puts it into a fast casual model," and I totally agree. From the small bottles of wine, clean appearance throughout, to the dishes themselves, I felt like I was eating high quality food in a casual dining experience. If all locations are like this one, I HIGHLY recommend Slapfish for any dining occasion! I'm going to bookmark others in areas I typically travel.

Ordered fish and chips, and substituted the fries for the bowl of truffle tots. Thefood sat in the window for close to 20 min. When it Finally came out the 14 plain tots were pured on the plate. I was up charged $5 for the tots. I asked the cashier / waiter if this is how they were supposed to look for the five dollars up charge. He took them back and threw them in a bowl and brought them back. ‍. Note to future guests, spend your five dollars elsewhere.

We waiting for about an hour for our to go order. I should have known because one lady was mad that she had to wait so long for her food, one lady canceled her entire order because it was taking too long and one guy even said his buddy waited an hour and 6 minutes for his food meanwhile his friend had his a lot sooner. We get home after waiting for an hour with a toddler and my husband's portion was sooooo small! He said the fish also had no flavor. He even said "we should have just gone to chipotle." I realize this location was short staffed but they could have given my husband more than a tiny piece of fish. They could have also offered all those who were waiting so long some chips and salsa or something. My toddler's kids fish plate had more food than my husband's. Ohhh and they ran out of salmon so my husband had to go with the mahi mahi.

Slapfish is one of my favorite seafood restaurants in town. The decore is modern industrial, with wooden benches and high exposed ceilings. The food is why you should visit. They have a good selection of fish, shrimp, crab, and lobster entrées. The staff are very helpful with making the proper selections.

I was visiting Albuquerque and shopping in the Uptown area. I stopped here by chance. It was in a strip mall so I didn't have the highest of expectations. I walked in and was impressed by the decor and ambience. Everything on the menu looked so good I couldn't choose. I asked the host helping me for her recommendation and she had a few but I went with the ultimate fish taco. It was sooooo good! It was fried but the batter was light and it wasn't greasy at all. I wish I hadn't gone the night before heading back home or I would have gone again during my visit!

COVID was hard on everyone, but waiting an hour for cold food in a restaurant that was not busy is still not acceptable. The Albuquerque Slapfish off of Louisiana was disappointing to say the least. 30 minutes into our wait for food we were informed that the rice cooker hadn't been working all morning and did we want burritos with no rice. Why would anyone ring up an order and sell an item knowing a main ingredient is missing, then not inform our party of the missing item for 30 minutes? 45 minutes after the initial order was placed I received a cold lobster and crab melt. I do not mean cool, but cold, as though the sandwich had been in a refrigerator. The cheese was cold and congealed. 10 minutes later (a full 55 minutes since ordering per the time stamp on out receipt) we complained to the manager. I will add that the restaurant was not busy during any of our wait. The manager was handed an untouched cold sandwich and plate of fries. The manager offered to void our order, essentially giving us a refund, but stated then he could not serve the burritos which were sitting under a warming lamp behind him. We were told "I'm not giving you food if you're not paying." So after waiting for an hour for 5 meals we had 1 adult meal, one kids meal and 4 drinks. Beyond being rude and poorly run I'm deeply concerned about the food safety with fish if serving a previously warm sandwich cold is the norm.

Ordered the Poke and Chips, epic burrito with a side of cauliflower. The poke and chips were good, Tuna tasted fresh and the sauce had flavor. The burrito was almost not edible. The rice was crunchy, the avocado was not ripe and the peppers inside were noticeably old. The 7 shrimp inside were cooked fine but no flavor. The salsa served with the burrito was flavorless. On to the cauliflower, the batter was soooo thick the inside was still raw. The batter also lacked flavor and just tasted like fryer oil. The cauliflower under the batter was slimy as well. Disappointing considering this is supposed to be a seafood restaurant..

Hoooooo-weeeeeee! I am so grateful to Yelp for prompting me to step outta my midtown comfort zone and into uptown to try this amazing little order-at-the-counter seafood place. First of all, the premise of the joint is sustainability and the seafood they serve appears (at least the day's specials do.. and speaking of, Barramundi?!) to be inspired by conscientious farming and harvesting practices. That makes the true vegetarian in me feel a little bit better about truly being a pescatarian. The other premise of the joint is to serve remarkably unique menu items, from their food to their drinks. And the other other premise of the joint is to serve up incredibly tasty goods! I ordered the Clobster, which is a phenomenal concoction of buttery texas toast topped with creamy, chunky lobsterness, topped with an equally calorie-budget-defying slab of cheese, toasted to a perfect degree. Staff hinted that green chile thrown in is an absolute to-die-for addition, so naturally I had to cede to their recommendation. Awesomeness. I also ordered the clam chowder, but was not entirely wow'ed. Though the flavor was nice, the clam was pretty rubbery. Nevertheless, I cleaned my bowl, so it certainly wasn't a deal-breaker. If I had it to do over, I'd try the ceviche. Another thing I'd like to mention is, aside from serving a great selection of canned and bottled drinks - alcohol and non - and local draft beers, they also serve fountain sodas by Tractor Beverage Company (not to be confused with Tractor Brewery; this Tractor is of Idaho). The fountain offers a magnificent collection of tasty 100% organic, GMO-free soda pops, with unique flavors like Blood Orange, Kola Cola, Cucumber, and (my favorite) Coconut. The fountain is hidden in a cubby around the corner, and I originally overlooked it, opting instead for a bottled root beer from the drink case at the counter. Gladly, they have little sampler cups sitting right there, so I got to try em all! I woulda' totally got the fountain soda if I'd realized it was over there. Oh! I almost forgot! The other other OTHER premise is apparently service service SERVICE. They were so excited to expose the customers to all their other awesome premises, and really made me feel like they were glad we popped in. If I could offer any recommendation, it would be to put one or two things on the menu that cater to the vegetarian. My vegan escort opted for the Power Bowl without the fish, which was pretty good but truly not worth the $13 without it. Had they a... say... roasted veggie option to substitute for the fish or something, now we'd be talking. I know, who goes into a seafood place when they don't eat seafood? Well, pescatarians and vegetarians are often birds of a feather who dine together.

I came by to try this place out after hearing about it from other people. I got the grilled shrimp roll and it came with fries alongside a starter of chowder fries. The chowder fries were pretty good, but it was a lot smaller than I expected for the price that I paid for it. There was enough chowder on it and it was great. For my entree, the shrimp roll with grilled shrimp was also delicious. There were a great amount of shrimp on the piece of bread. The bread was nicely toasted and buttered. I thought the fries were very plain and didn't have any seasoning on them at all. This place is a good place to eat if you are wanting some seafood, but the pricing is quite expensive, which is expected of a seafood place.

I love Slapfish and I'm so glad that they have location closer to me now! This location did not have a phone number listed when I tried to do a call in order because they had just opened so I just called the other location and they gave me the number. My order was fresh and ready when I came to pick it up! I loved my lobster roll with fries! It was delicious and I loved every single bite! The quality was just as great as the other location! I can't wait to come more often now that I have a location closer to my home!

After a long day, we were welcomed with such amazing hospitality by Phillip. He was not only super friendly, but made accommodations for us as well. My husband got the fish and chips which made that seafood loving desert rat extremely happy. I got the clam chowder tots which hit the spot and were a nice portion for a small dinner. The place has such a cool vibe and ambiance and was extremely clean, including the bathrooms! I wish I had pictures of the food but we were way too hungry. Definitely will be back for some more of the ocean at this location!

Delicious and affordable. We've ordered many times. The best clam this side of Boston. Excellent fish and chips.

We have been searching for a good seafood spot to replace rockfish.... slap fish is not it. I hate to sound like Gordon Ramsey but everything was bland. The items on the menu sound good but when they're served they're found a little lacking. We ordered the lobster egg roll, it was decent. I had the poki, it was bland. My wife had the seafood taco, they were out of halibut so she used salmon. She said they were ok

We are at Slapfish in North Albuquerque in 2019 based on stellar Yelp reviews. It was great. Fast forward to this location. The fish was greasy. Cold slaw tasted like vinegar. 3 stars because the employers were nice. Prices were fair if the food would have worked.

I'm normally a big fan of this place. Have been here many times but because of COVID I had to get a to-go order. Was sad to see the product I was given today. I ordered lobster rolls for myself and my bride. They didn't even slice the bread completely to put the the lobster in. C'mon Slapfish. When I pay $60 for takeout, I have higher expectations. I'm disappointed especially since I had to get all the way home to find this out...

Slapfish is by far my favorite seafood establishment in Albuquerque! They are very accommodating and the staff is friendly! I enjoy the salmon tacos with Greek ranch!
