Eddie’s Fish Bar — Restaurant in London

Overpriced, overcooked and over charged, but the chips were good.

This was my first visit to Eddie's and to be fair it was not all great. Unfortunately I was over charged for the meal, which is not a good start. Though this will lower my score, it will not change my thoughts to the quality of the meal itself.

The heat of the meal was good, no complaints there.

Their chips are great, 8 or even 9 out of 10, well done.

The cod fish is obviously good quality, the flakes were about the size of a £2 coin, the batter was OK, a little bit thicket than I prefer, but I would not complain about it and be happy to eat it. Unfortunately the cod itself was overcooked, dry and a bit chewy which was a shame as it was a great piece of cod.

Their saveloys are beef, which normal don't have that traditional saveloy taste, but these are very close so I was both happy and surprised, so would order these again.

Pickled onions were tiny, but at least you got two, that said they were super sharp, just what you want from a pickled onion. One was a little soft and squidgy the other lovely and firm, but because of the taste I'd order again.

The gherkins equally were as small, no bigger than you'd buy from a supermarket and you only get one, which for the price is poor. They were more on the salty side than the sweet or dill pickle most fish bars sell. This is neither good or bad, it is an individual preference. However were lovely firm and crisp.

The staff looked tried and and overworked, there were no smiles or small talk as they prepared the meal, which is fine but was not the warm welcome you expect when you see the smiling picture of Eddie on the menus.

Summary: There are good and bad points, I think comparing with other fish shops in the area Eddie's falls short in several area and yet excels in others. For the money I feel other shops offer a better product for less money. There are equally shops that offer the same meal for less money but lower quality too.

I will eat a fish meal from here again, but only if the other shops are closed, i.e late at night or on Sunday and I will be asking for a receipt. Some small changes could make this a great fish bar.

I look forward to my next visit to try their...

This place treats you like a King, we love Eddie, so warm and friendly , very genuine his staff are great, they are all doing a great job. The food ...Lord, it is so good I travel all the way from Highbury to eat his delicious whole Chicken , big chips, salad and a bottle of drink...for 15 quid. And the chips are proper chip shop chips. Cooked in good oil, taste as it should be. His fish....fresh, like you catched it yourself and cooked nicely....really juicy, and crispy, we enjoyed it. The Chicken and chips deal, feeds about 4 people.....as a family, we try and eat there as much as possible, when we are not cooking ourselves. Highbury is far to go, but it really is that good we travel to get a takeaway from Eddie's, other places local to us just not as good, I haven't eatern in, we always get a takeaway that I collect myself. Keep up the good work, spread the gospel. Best chicken and chips...

I placed an order on Just Eat from Eddies and suprisingly the food arrived 30 minutes early which put a question in my mind. The Lamb Doner was cold and too salty I could not eat it. The salad that came with it was not fresh. The Chicken Shish was overcooked and very dry my daughter threw it away. The cod and chips was overcooked and did not have a fishy taste at all. The chips were soggy. Very upset right now. Me my partner and my daughter have not had any dinner after losing £41.10 on rubbish food I am furious. I called the restaurant and I was dismissed by the rude chef I am never going to order from here AGAIN and I will never go through Just Eat ever again. I will be making sure I let my friends and family who live locally so they can share this around too so they do not get treated the way me and my...
