What is the best Fish & Chip joint in Slough and London?

Question

Four of us are making a trip to London for a week and we are staying in Slough. Last time I was in London (2004) I ate fish and chips at three places that were various take-away establishments. The fish had the skin on it still, had bones, wasn't crispy and it wasn't at all what I expected. Did I have bad luck all three times or is this traditional English fish and chips? In the U.S. fish and chips are skin, head, tail and bone free, golden, crispy nuggets of delicious fish with thick, fat fries.

Please include the establishment name/info with your comment so I can map it. Thanks!

Lols you had rly bad luck honey, there are some great ones in London!! Here are some ones that are really good! May cost more but are the best in London!

-Costas Fish Restaurant in the Notting Hill neighborhood, Costas has become famous for its chips, but it serves up cod, sole, and haddock as well :P. Costas is located at 18 Hillgate Street; call ([phone] for daily hours.

-Thick-cut chips and even thicker battered fish are the norm at Rock & Sole Plaice, trust me the chips and bettered fish are great!! Very thick fries, and definatly golden fish! :P sounds like your kind of place! Rock and Sole Plaice is found at 4 Endell Street in the Covent Garden neighborhood; Call ([phone] for reservations or store hours.

I love those two, but if for some reason you don't like them or like if you are too far away from them, these are some recommended by a top food critic:

- Fryer's Delight, 19 Theobald's Road, WC1 (020 7405 4114).

- Olley's, 65-69 Norwood Road, SE24 (020 8671 8259).

- Sam's, 68-70 Golders Green Road, NW11 (020 8455 9898).

- Sea Cow, Clapham High Street, East Dulwich or Stoke Newington (www.theseacow.co.uk).

- Brady's, 513 Old York Road, SW18 (0871 3328664).

^^ some of those are takeaway's, some are restuarants, but all are very very nice! :D hope this helps, I am determinded to get you to like English fish and chips! It's supposed to be our national delicacy for gods sake!! :P
