I’m on a mission to find the BEST fish and chips in London! But tell that to a Londoner, and you’ll spark the fiercest battle in the UK. Why? Because “the best” means something different to everyone.
Some want that nostalgic, old-school crunch cooked in beef fat. Others want it served with a pint in a classic British pub, and sometimes, you want pure luxury. You can’t crown just one winner—so my friend James and I are breaking it down into 4 categories to finally settle the debate of where to eat the best fish and chips in London!

What's British/English food, really? Outside of Fish and Chips? Genuine question. Couple of other things were modified slightly from other cultures, so I'm not sure they are really "British".
ฉันชอบ ฟิช แอนด์ ชิปส์ มาก❤
The guy in the blue cap, has no personality.
Even in India goa you will get Better fish n chips then london 😂
I'd love to show you around Bury in the Nodth West of the UK!
£26 for average fish and chips?? You are going to the WRONG places!!! That said, Crenucopia is worth visting though if you're rich/wealthy as that's genuinely different to traditional fish and chips. Not for average normal people though.
I don’t know how you hand picked these shops but there are better shops than these that you missed out on and these are not the best
Sorry but that one where the fish is filled with lobster etc .. 🤢🤮 no it’s not taking it to the next level, it just spoiling it – Mark , no offence but if someone gave you a plate of cow dung – you’d have something good to say about it “ ohh so earthy and the aroma of poo”
mark trying so hard to like mushy peas LOL
uk food is very plain be real
"Savaloys not really a thing up north"?????? Ye Gods man. Look up the "traditional" sandwich of Sunderland. Knowledgeable my ar$e, ……… 🙂
You would be better heading to Belfast, Northern Ireland for a good fish and chips shop, London prices are a tourist trap ridiculously expensive for what you get.
Mark eating at a 3 Michelin star restaurant wearing a flowered shirt 😂You know he made it big!
Welcome to the UK again Mark!✨️🙏✨️
This is a fish and chip review that any Londoner would be proud of!👍💯👍
I went over to London in January of this year specifically to try burgers and fish and chips. The George’s fish and chips was the best I’ve ever had in my life.
Rock is basically Shark (or Dogfish. a member of the Shark family)
As a Brit, Fish and chips is just meh, it’s just fried potato and fish nothing special
As an American, it’s amazing how familiar the UK is to our culture. The language and way of life is similar in many respects.
Reminds me of Captain D’s fast food here in US. Folks from Tennessee will know what I’m talking about.
Mark please go to the balkan Region especially bosnia herzegovina. Amazing amazing food its like the turkish sister cuisine
This video is incredibly bold, and it’s surprising that you feel qualified to declare the best fish and chips in the UK.
12:14 damn i want to try a carlsberg with some fish and chips too
Say “crispy” one more time….
Real mushy peas are made by soaking dried marrowfat overnight before cooking, not blending up garden peas
I had amazing fish and chips in Gibraltar!
About 4 times in my life and smashed it each and every time!
Shout out to my man Mark I've been watching him for years ULTIMATE DREAM JOB
Uk might be the spot
The oil looks like gasoline
Can you eat in small portions please
Very unhealthy
