Eating Out: London Fish & Chips


So we're walking through Soho in the pouring rain, trying to make our way to a proper British fix at London Fish and Chips for some fish and chips in London.  We've been in in the city for a few days already but still didn't get any, mainly because it wasn't yet time.  

Why?  Because I was prepared in advance for this meal; I purchased a Groupon voucher and wrote it on my travel itinerary to eat lunch here. I even mapped out the path from the shops to to spot, but I was not prepared for the rain.  I can't control everything, dammit. 

We sloshed through Chinatown and I kept hoping it was just around the corner.  By the time we made it, my North Face was soaked and my Timbs were looking bad....and I was damn hungry.  The manager kindly greeted us and motioned us upstairs.  The spot was so London with the telephone booth murals all over the walls.  I ordered this heavenly dish of cod and shrimp...and my mushy peas, of course.  

The food arrived quickly and first thing I do is dip a chip in the mush.  I don't care if it's like baby food, it's damn good innit?  So good, I didn't even touch my seafood until the chips were halfway gone.  The fish hit the spot, but the shrimp wins the crown.  So buff and juicy, hench style shrimp. 

The added bonus of this joint was the free wifi.  Without wifi at the tip of my fingers in a foreign land, the access to my Instagram juiced me up even more.  

After the meal, I found out that the tube was just around the corner.  Oops.

Thank goodness for the Travelcard.  We hopped on the train, with my clothes still wet from the walk.  I couldn't wait to take them off....
