Hook

2 fois que je tente ce restaurant spécialisé en fish & chips. La première fois j’avais pris le fish and chips classique et la seconde fois du Colin avec une panure épicée et un ketchup à la patate douce. En fait c’est pas mauvais c’est juste que ca n’a pas de goût, c’est très fade, même en version épicée.
Dans la présentation ça ressemble au Bia Mara de Bruxelles mais en goût c’est à des années lumières, dommage !

Petit week end à Londres improvisés avec les copines, on décide de passer la porte du Hook, après quelques recherches sur Internet histoire d’optimiser notre temps et éviter les déceptions.
Un lundi midi, on trouve facilement une place. Déco très «épuré», très tendance. Une serveuse sympathique avec une carte efficace!
Le fish and chips est un peu revisité, avec des saveurs un peu inattendus, épicé, herbes, etc… J’ai quand même opté pour le classique, comme ça pas de mauvaise surprise!
Par contre le prix piqué… mais piqué !10 livres (soit quasi 15 euros) pour un plat unique, le midi… même si la vie londonienne est réputée pour être chère de partout, j’imaginais le quartier de Camden, populaire. Erreur.
Bref, Né jamais regarder son portefeuille quand on part en voyage, sinon c’est le stress assuré !
Je né suis pas spécialiste du fish and chips… mais c’était DELICIEUX. Frites maison (qui ressemblait à des potatoes plutôt), sauce maison, poisson savoureux… le tout servit dans un petit plat original en forme de cagette.
Mais tellement rien a redire sur le plat, j’ai tout aimé, tout mangé!
Un peu de frites en plus, pour la gourmandise n’aurait pas été de refus (vu le prix excessif).
Bref, c’est cher, mais je vous le conseille. C’est efficace et très bon. Un petit effort sur le prix au moins le midi, serait appréciable ou compenser avec quelques frites en plus.
Great restaurant !

Fantastic resturaunt in the heart of Camden serving their own twist on the classic fish and chips.
The chips were perfect and well seasoned. I had the plains version of fish and chips covered in Panko breadcrumbs. They offered 5 different more modern twists such as bbq and other unique flavors. The portions were generous but not over-​facing. The fish was fried to perfection and the service was friendly and attentive.

fish and chips as it should be, fresh and crispy. Great selection of sauces and side to o with them. the slaw is particularly good. would recommend this place and I you’re in Brussels or Antwep they have sister restaurant called Bia Mara in both cities

Oh boy oh boy best fish and chips I ever had yes!!! Amazing, it’s definitely a must. Yes came all rhe way from Canada and very happy Unilocal help me found this place. And the peeps working their are simply great! Thank you!

Regular panko breaded fish chips, not too greasy and well portioned. The chips are homemade, nicely done. We had the seaweed salad, which was okay at best. I could see though how someone might love it, and many others would not like it at all. I’m in the middle. I will say my friend found 3 small bones in her fish, so eat with caution!

L’histoire de Hook a commencé par une petite étale au marché de Dublin.
Maintenant installé à Londres, Hook propose des Fish & Chips traditionnels comme on les aime.
YUMMY
Hook propose 7 differents goûts avec différent types de croûte (type chapelure ou tempura style).
Si vous aimez les classiques, allez pour le «Homemade Tartar», sinon testez le «Thai Green Tempura» avec du basilique et du chilli. Très originale pour le coup et vraiment bon.
MONEY MONEY MONEY
Comptez £10−12 pour votre Fish & Chips et £1 pour extra sauce

— Modeste, et cadre sympa
— Eco-​friendly, ils veulent respecter la planète (recyclage, couverts biodégradable, contrôle du poisson péché)

I was really excited to try Hook as it brings fresh touch to fish and chips. However, I left the restaurant quite disappointed. Not «hooked» at all…
I found the menu and the sides quite limited. They only serve fried fish, no seafood. Ordered Mexican spiced panko seabream with jalapeño and lime sauce, sumac & lemon tempura of seabream with baharat (what means spice in Turkish I do not know if it does make sense describing the ingredient any other languages) sauce, Cajun spiced panko chicken what are served in little wooden boxes. I like the serving idea. Unfortunately, the fish was weak and portion size was not great. The fish were placed over the chips so the chips below were soggy. The chips actually were not chips, oily potato wedges. Moreover, it was slightly over seasoned with salt and pepper. Overall, I did not enjoy the chips. Salt and herbs overpowered. Only the chicken was nicely cooked.
Atmosphere was nice; they have also party room which is a good option for big groups. Staff was helpful and attentive.
I do not understand that the restaurant was listed in local cheap eats. They charge in breadcrumbs £10 and in tempura £12 for small fishes. It is not that cheap I assume in comparison with what you get.
Overall, I respect the idea but new school fish and chips is not my cup of tea.

A faire et refaire! THE BEST Fish and chips!
Les frites sont croquantes et fondantes a la fois!
Le poisson est parfait: cuisson irréprochable, qualité indiscutable!
Le service au top, et le cadre moderne et tendance. Ça vaut le détour…et même le déplacement!!!
Un délice.

I ordered chicken n chips with butter garlic sauce. The chips is the best chips in fish n chips! Definitely worth a try! Gonna to try fish n chips next time^^ The surrounding is good too.

The best fish and chips I had in London. Ever.
What more to say…: God service, patient, smiling, fun and engaged. We ended up having a bit of a chat about places to visit when in Copenhagen and vice versa when in London.
Really good food. Really good.

This place is friggen good. Goes above and beyond your standard fish & chips joint. Menu items like Jamaican Jerk, Cajun Spiced and Mexican Spiced fish & chips set the bar pretty high here. It’s also an appropriate amount of fish and chips. I’m a 6 foot tall, 30 year old male who weighs 187 pounds and it was the perfect amount of fish. Not too much like some places where you’ll never finish it, and not too little where you’re gonna leave less than satisfied. I’m am leaving here satisfied. I would eat here again.

Delicious fish and flavored lemonade and the service was fabulous and friendly. The Camden area was a bit… gritty, but the fish and chips was worth it.

Not a very selective menu. Good original fish and chips but not too much to choose from. Service was good. Definite place to go for fish and chips. Located in a very artsy area, Camden road. Fish is fresh from the market everyday so menu items are subject to change. Good food English food in a trendy and artsy area. Would recommend for a casual dinner.

Zur Abwechslung mal ein Apartment in Camden Town gebucht. Und gleich beim ersten abendlichen Erkundungsspaziergang das vor Kurzem eröffneten Hook im Nahbereich gefunden. Und was soll ich sagen, das kleine aber feine Hook war ein kulinarischer Volltreffer. Der frische Fisch und die selbstgemachten Chips waren erstklassig, genauso wie die Mushy Peas, das Micobrewey Bier, die Preise und der Service. Mit einem Satz, das Hook ist ab sofort mein stay or takeaway stammt Fish&Chips Dealer in London. Und auch das mit dem Apartment werde ich in Zukunft beibehalten. Denn wer weiß, was der Nahbereich sonst noch so an Volltreffern bietet.

Stunning fish and chips for only £10. Panko breadcrumbed haddock with lemon and basil sauce accompanied by proper chips!
The restaurant has a very cool vibe and I loved the benched seating. Busy for a Friday afternoon but service was very friendly and fast.
The food was delicious. Crispy coated fish with an interesting tangy sauce. Would have loved to have tried the jerk ling but I was completely stuffed after my haddock. Definitely worth the walk from Camden Market to find this place, will be back again!

Né pas ponctuer un séjour londonien sans passer par la case fish & chips? Impensable !
Chez Hook, non loin du Camden Market et de la station de métro, la spécialité ancestrale est modernisée. La décoration de la salle à manger est très soignée et lumineuse. La serveuse est charmante et re très bon conseil.
Exit le vieux papier journal. Ici, les plats sont joliment présentés dans des caissette en bois. La maison joue la carte de la variété du côté des poissons et des panures proposées. A vous de choisir entre le classique qui n’a plus besoin de faire ses preuves ou l’originalité (panure tempera). Les sauces qui accompagnent le plat sont très bien exécutées, on y replonge avec envie un peu trop souvent. Les chips sont croustillantes et peu grasses. Comptez environ 15 £ par personne.

I was seriously impressed after my visit to Hook. Extremely reasonable prices– fancy fish and chips for £10! I tried the jerk panko haddock and it was cooked to perfection. The selection of sauces are great too! Very unpretentious and relaxed atmosphere and great tunes! I’ll defo be back.

Excellent fish&chips parfait en sortant de regent’s park
Poisson frais et très tendre, les frites généreuses
Et un service au top !

Woah. I’m totally hooked.
(see what I did there?)
This is the best fish and chips in London. Seriously, it is sooo good.
You can choose traditional fish and chips OR go with some of their gorgeous sounding (and super tasty) more original flavours. Both fish were good naked, but were *amazing* once you add their sauces.
We chose one panko, and one tempura:
— Lemon & Fennel Panko Hake with Seaweed Salted Chips & Lemon & Basil Sauce (£10)
— Lime, Mint & Wasabi Tempura of Seabream with Seaweed Salted Chips & Basil Chilli Sauce (£12)
* We both liked the tempura version more than the panko (it wasn’t really panko… it was just normal breadcrumbs — I guess they want to sound more posh!?)
* The chips were sooo good. I love using nori for seasoning… and there were so many that it is impossible to finish a whole portion.
* They use lots of different types of sustainable fish — so you can keep trying now types and discover that you love them ALL!
* I looooved their sauces.
* The home-​made lemonade was delicious too (I tried lime and mint)
I’ll definitely go back, and you should go and try it too!

Finally a decent FnC in my local area!!!
There are a few others that are ok, but this place really impressed me, I love the different flavours they have used for the fish and the selection that they have, I’m not an eco warrior but I thought that the sustainable fish idea was in tune with the local area (whole foods and organic green grocers down the street) the chips were crunchy and well seasoned, more importantly they aren’t mean with the servings of chips either (my pet hate)
The bar menu is really cool, a decent selection of ales and largess which include local breweries such as Camden Hells (very good!)
The restaurants has a decent amount of seats, and take away option is available.
More importantly the price is really affordable! Under a £tenner each which you can’t argue with in this part of town!

Amazing and innovative fish and chips with the usual classics and new takes on fish and chips. The fish is fresh and the ingredients were high quality. They had a nice selection of Belgian beers too.
