Chelsea Fishmonger

These guys know their stuff. The fish is superb - a great variety of fish every day of fantastic quality - and Matt and Lee will always find time to respond to any questions/help you need.

In the States I have caught lobsters, bass, snook, trout, blue crabs, snapper, salmon, you name it. Always eaten on the same day caught. I have been in London for 3 years and was eating meat until I met the boys at the Chelsea Fishmonger. It doesn't take much to cook a great fish meal. The fish just needs to be fresh. Easier said than done. The guys at Chelsea Fishmonger have opened my eyes to how good the fish can be. I have eaten my best salmon (by far the best ever, including in restaurants), monkfish (I usually put it in a Brazilian moqueca), turbot, lemon sole, not to mention oysters.

Too bad it took me 3 years to find these guys. Easily London's - and perhaps Europe's - best spot for fresh fish.

The most brilliant fish shop in London. Fantastic quality, outstanding freshness and extraordinary knowledge of all things fishy. I love this shop!

Just a great shop in a super little location. I’ve been shopping here since Rex took it over three and a half years ago, and it goes from strength to strength. I live locally, but always there are people there who have travelled from far to buy fish. The other day I met a Croatian lady who had moved to Hampstead Heath but who still travels every week across London. I guess that says it all. Keep it up lads, you are unique.

Fabulous fishmongers, offers the freshest and best fish. Service is second to none. I won't go anywhere else.

I am a chef and have been buying fish for 27 years. It doesn't get better than this. Plus, the new veg stand looks cool.

I agree with all the reviews. Great fish, service and chat at every visit. Plus lovely clean shop. Well worth a trip.

Always fresh, high quality fish, and excellent, skilled and friendly staff. A pleasure to shop at the Chelsea Fishmonger.

An exceptional fishmonger. The quality of their fare is a testament to the standards that Rex must demand of his suppliers. On top of that, the knowledge of the guys behind the counter is above and beyond the call of duty.

Categorically the best fishmonger in London. Frankly, what Matt does not know about fish conservation and sustainability is not worth knowing. Despite its size this shop has a wealth of choice (I doubt there are many places in London that can offer you frogs' legs to line-caught sea bass on the same day). The chat from Lee and Matt makes my Saturday mornings and I have never found anything other than the freshest of fish and the tastiest of accompaniments.

I have been going to Chelsea Fishmonger for over 3 years now and have never been disappointed with the variety, freshness and great customer service. I highly recommend it.

I have been buying fish in London for the last 15 years and have never found a fishmonger that provides such consistently stiff fresh product. Not only that, but you get excellent value for money and intelligent, humourous and knowledgeable service.

Love this place. Wouldn't think twice about recommending it. Fresh fish that melts in your mouth, unbeatable service, and good chat! What more could you want? Next time you're in the neighbourhood, definitely stop by.

The best fishmonger in London, without doubt. Friendly, knowledgeable, and I know they'll always have something new for me to try, whether it's an exotic fish or a recipe. Highly recommended.

I love this unique little shop. There is a genuine consistency about their quality and they're not too expensive either, considering the area. You do get what you pay for with fish though, so it's worth every penny. Putting aside the excellent fish, which is available elsewhere in London if searched for, this shop has other amazing attributes. Every time I visit, the customers and staff are happy and enjoying their shopping experience and each others' company. Additionally, the two lads who work there seem to know absolutely everything about fish - not only cooking and preparing, but fishing techniques, biology, environmental issues, everything! My trip to this shop always turns into an educational excursion. Keep it up lads - shops like this make us all happy.

Simply the finest fishmonger in London! The knowledge of their produce and its source, ability to offer recipe ideas and their friendly service are things that must be sampled by all!

If you are looking for the freshest fish, great customer service and an always much needed smile, you should definitely stop by this fantastic shop! The store is tiny, but the service, fish quality and selection is superb. Well worth a visit.

Chelsea Fishmonger offers the best variety and highest standards of fish, and a wealth of knowledge and the friendliest of service from Matt, Lee, Rex and the rest of the gang!

Quality and variety of fish is even better than in the photos. Whenever I come into London, I'll always go out of my way to drop by for some superb fish and great hospitable service.
