The Sea Cow London Reviews


Totally Overrated - The Sea Cow is a ‘posh’ fish and chip shop. By this I mean you can eat in, seated in the pleasing modern and minimal surroundings, you can choose your own fish fillet at the wet fish counter, you can drink wine with your meal and you will be charged around 4 times as much for the privilege. Now all this would be wonderful if the food were any good, but it isn’t.

Having said that, our whitebait starter (which we shared) was nice; crispy and meaty although nothing special. We were disappointed to find the tartare sauce to be shop bought, but gobbled everything down hungrily anyway. The main courses were so disappointing though. I had crab cakes, which were patties of reddish-brown mush in which I couldn’t identify any individual flavours; certainly not crab. They had then been deep fried until just this side of burnt. My dining partner opted for haddock and chips but the chips were soggy and limp and the haddock left a pool (yes, a pool) of grease on the plate. This came with mushy peas, described as ‘freshly minted’ and they were – someone had added some mint to a tin of mushy peas! To top it all, the waitress took our entire order while gazing absent-mindedly out of the window.

Strangely, I've heard good things about the Sea Cow, which make me think perhaps we just caught them on a ‘bad day'. It is possible I suppose, but then the place was half empty on a Saturday lunchtime....
