Getting fresh with fish

Marina O'Loughlin10 April 2012

The Great British fish and chip has been one of the few dining out concepts to have remained untouched by fashion or evolution - until now.

Fishbar, recently opened in Maida Vale, brings design to the decor - a playful take on the British seaside with blue and white awnings, tiles and tongue and groove - and a contemporary approach to the food.

Sure, you can still have the traditional fried haddock, plaice and 'real fish fingers', but you can also order fish 'en papillote', grilled or with sauces including aioli, salsa verde or spiced Puy lentils.

Or what about shrimp and tarragon mash, minted pea puree or scalloped potatoes to jazz up your swordfish sandwich? There's a wet fish shop called, erm, Fishshop, next door should you feel the desire to cook.
