London Best Fish & Chip

I hadn't eaten yet that day and I still had a 45 minute drive home so I stopped in Placerville for a bite to eat. I saw the McDonald's and, just admit it, who doesn't love a quarter pounder deluxe now and then but ... wanted something a little healthier. I spotted this fish and chip place directly behind McDonald's. I ordered the 2 piece cod fish and chips with the chips (aka fries). It was beyond delicious. The fish was perfectly fried in a light crispy batter, the cod tasted like the fish was caught earlier in the day and the fries were the kind I love which must be ... perfectly crisp on outside, not greasy, salty but not tooooo salty, and actually seemed like it was recently a real potato. I only have one complaint and that is the portions were too generous. I took my leftovers home since I only ate one. My nephew was visiting and he ate that within 40 seconds. He also liked it so much that the next day he went home the highway 50 route so he could eat something too and yep, you guessed it, get another chance at that delightful fish and chips place. Overall: I might just order again Saturday since I'll be in Placerville.

Finding fresh fish around the foothills of the Sierra Nevada mountains is sometimes challenging. We tried London Best The fried Cod and the Fried Calamari. Wow! The Calamari was fresh, soft & delicious! The Cod was outstanding! The service was great with a nice Ambiance. If you haven't tried this great little place, I highly recommend it!

This was an unexpected stop for us. Driving back from Tahoe, we got hungry and looked on Yelp for a quick bite to eat that wasn't fast food. Fish and chips sounded really good, so we decided to give this place a try due to the good reviews on Yelp.This is a small place with maybe 10 tables inside and a couple outside. It looks run by the owners - I only saw two people working and basically doing everything that needed to be done in the restaurant, from taking orders, cooking, serving, refilling the ice machine and putting out utensils and napkins. Super nice people and clearly very busy!My wife had the basic fish and chips whereas I had the combo fish/oyster and chips. The food was served with ketchup and tartar sauce. It would have been nice to have a lemon available. The fish was wonderful and the fries needed lots of salt. The oysters were just ok. About half were really small and covered in thick batter, making them appear larger than they really were. And then the thick batter itself made it hard to bite into.Overall a pretty good place - I just will avoid the oysters and stick with the fish.For my first time, really a 3.5 star experience, but rounding up to 4 stars because I will come back for the fish!

Fantastic fish and shrimp! This is NOT fast food. It's fresh made to order so don't expect it to be quick but it's well worth the few minutes extra. Without question the best in town.

Chicken was overcooked. Fish ok. Not enough salt on fries. My SO wanted a extra malt vinegar and it was kinda hard to get it from the gentleman. But he got the malt vinegar. Foods were...meh

Customer Service was friendly and warm. The Fish is absolutely delicious! I was told about this place and it did not disappoint. During certain times it can get busy so be patient it's worth the wait. It's a charming place with a variety of seafood with sides and soft drinks. This place is definitely now one of my guilty pleasures. This place has the ambiance and vibe that is unique and enjoyable!

7/14/2023: I inhaled oysters & scallops this visit. As always, the restaurant's tables were full . . . Meanwhile, the outside temperature was escalating into the upper 88°F equating, the kitchen temperature must have been around 105°F!Fifteen minutes later, my order arrived:1. The oysters were perfectly breaded and fried.2. The scallops were breaded, moist, and tender.Furthermore, the fries were moist and tender despite, being fried as well. Overall, I enjoyed my lunch selection; I shall return!

This was our first time visiting the restaurant, and I had read several reviews mentioning service issues. From what I gathered, the restaurant seems to be run by a husband and wife in their 50s or 60s. However, I didn't notice anything wrong during our visit. In fact, the husband was very kind and guided us in choosing the right meals, while his wife was busy cooking in the back. They make a great team and run their small business exceptionally well. Most of the time, we came too late, and the restaurant has already closed early. But this time, we came earlier. We both ordered the cod meal with shrimp. The cod was incredibly fresh and didn't fall apart at all. The first bite had a delicious garlic butter flavor. The shrimp were a decent size and very tasty. I love fish and chips, and not all restaurants get it right, but this one does. I think they make the best fish and chips I've had so far. The fries were not the typical commercial pre-cut kind--they were excellent as well. Next time, I'll try the pollock and the zucchini.

My husband and I love this place. The owner and his wife are just wonderful people. The food is very well prepared and delicious! We absolutely LOVE the calamari fries!

As a Brit living stateside, I'm always on the hunt for as authentic as possible English fish and chips. This place hit the spot. Thank you!!
