"Sadly, after many years of visiting this establishment, our visit on 11th November 2023 was shocking. This was our first visit since the Coronavirus Pandemic, we arrived at 9.41pm after travelling a long distance for what has always been a monthly treat (pre Pandemic). The people serving were not at all pleased to see us, we placed our order including a fishcake on it 's own (I have a receipt to prove it) the lady who took our order was asked to confirm our order by the chef, he shout angrily and aggressively at her No Fishcake . She then came to us and said, sorry no fishcakes but you can have anything else , we reluctantly ordered a portion of Calamari. The woman who appeared to be in charge was hostile and rude to the lady that was serving us and demanded that she go down stairs to get Tartare sauce. She was not at all pleasant to us neither, it was very clear they wanted to close up, all be it there was a good 15 mins before closing at 10pm. Unfortunately, to add to this hostile reception, the food was awful, the fish and calamari was tasteless despite being freshly fried for us, the mushy peas and tartare sauce were equally as tasteless, the chips, although freshly fried were a little undercooked. All in all our £40.50 meal we travelled miles across London to enjoy after several years of not being here was truly disappointing. As a resident of Maida Vale in the 80 's and 90 's, we have been patrons of Seashell since the days when Princess Diana and her children frequented this establishment. I 'm without a doubt this establishment is no longer run by the previous owners, as the level of service and the quality of food is no comparison. Needless to say I will no be recommending Seashell or visiting again."

I went here for lunch. It wasn't too bad actually. I had the fish and chips which were average. Would still recommend.

Whitebait starter was somewhat greasy. Main of haddock chips was excellent. Service by Alina, a new waitress, was top class.

A dreadful disappointment! After our long awaited reservation, the anemic chips, soggy fish, ghastly mushy peas, etc., we will never return to the abhorrent Seashell!! View menu

Travelled a long way with high hopes, only for them to be dashed by soggy chips. Fresh fish, although the batter was soggy. We would rate it a 6/10 (at a push). If you want to have 9.9/10 fish and chips then try number 5 on the “Time Out” list.

What a shame! This used to be THE fish chip shop we used to hold events there as it’s reputation was amazing but my, how it’s changed. Wrong order, twice, waiting time horrendous, and the food was awful. We don’t even think the cod was cod thin tilapia more like. Very disappointing indeed.

Much better than the last couple of visits. Hard working staff and much better quality of food. Still looks a tad sad compared to the days when it was more buoyant and with a least two sittings. Still find it odd how they still think that chilling a bottle of wine entails plonking it on top of some ice. View menu

Stopped off for an early dinner around 6:30pm. Ordered sausage and chips and mushy peas. Sausage old and flabby, chips tasteless, mushy peas OK. Shambolic service, three staff just hanging about aimlessly, had to wait a good while for the food after paying even though only a few customers and the chips and sausage were ready, just nobody arsed to serve it! Shocking how bad this place has become as it used to be the best. Better off to go to The Golden Hind in Marylebone Lane which is far superior.

Curious place. I had some fish and chips with mushed peas. I think that the fish was crispy and the chips had a satisfying potato flavour. However, despite the seemingly high-quality ingredients, this did not jive with me. Maybe fish and chips simply is a dish that doesn't lend itself to excellent culinary experiences? Maybe it's just me who can't appreciate an otherwise terrific dish? Either way, I would hesitate to eat here again, especially when taking the steep price into consideration. The mushed peas were not good. They tasted like overboiled peas that were mushed coarsely without seasoning or additives. At least it lived up to its name.
