Quick info
About Fish Plaice
Fish Plaice is a fish and chips shop at 32 Museum St in London, two minutes' walk from the British Museum. The menu pairs traditional British fish and chips with Korean fried chicken, so one counter covers two styles of fried food. The fish comes as cod, haddock or plaice, and coleslaw is ordered as a side. The chicken is available boneless, including a sweet soy garlic version, and gloves are provided for eating it. Orders are placed at the counter, with seating inside for those who stay. The shop is run by Koreans.

“The fish and chips were delicious, but the calamari was absolutely amazing! Highly recommend trying both if you visit.”

“Great food and nice service. We ordered the Haddock Fish and Chips, Fried dumplings and Cheese sticks and they are freshly made. Friendly staff and comfy space with both traditional fish and chips plus korean fried chicken. It’s a friendly option for family with kids.”

“Crispy and not too salty, which made the fish and chips really enjoyable for me. The staff were welcoming. Compared to other fish and chips places, the price was quite reasonable, and the quality was great. If you’re looking to try fish and chips in London, I would definitely recommend this place!”

“My table was served by Binu and he was such a nice person. Shared some recommendations about what can I choose and at the end I was very satisfied with the quality and the taste. The portion was good and the coke served with Ice. I totally recommend the place. The toilet entrance was very tiny though.”
- Thomas Kang
“I had the cod fish and chips with cole slaw as a side. Everything was delicious, and the service was friendly and courteous, with several waitstaff coming by to make sure I was happy with my meal. It's a great place to go after checking out the British Museum - just two minutes walking distance.”

Customer Review Summary
Reviewers most often return for the haddock and cod fish and chips, which several describe as fresh, crispy and not too salty, with generous portions and fair prices. Korean fried chicken comes close behind, with the sweet soy garlic boneless version and a pairing of fish and chips with chicken singled out as a favorite combination. Coleslaw, fried dumplings, cheese sticks and calamari get a mention as sides, and one reviewer calls the calamari the standout. Spring rolls were only average to one diner. Staff are repeatedly described as friendly and welcoming, and a few mention the location near the British Museum and the suitability for families with kids. The main complaints are about space and seasoning: several find the tables close together or cramped, one says the toilet entrance is very tiny, and one wished the fish came seasoned instead of leaving diners to season it themselves. The same reviewer found the Korean fried chicken a bit salty, though it arrived with gloves for eating it.
