Pisces Fish Kitchen
Inside Pisces Fish Kitchen
Pisces Fish Kitchen is a compact fish and chips spot tucked on Richmond Road in Kingston upon Thames, carving out its own identity beyond the typical takeaway experience. This is the kind of place where the focus is firmly on freshness and straightforward quality rather than frills.
The interior is modest and relatively small, making it ideal for a quick, satisfying meal rather than a lengthy sit-down. You’ll find the atmosphere unpretentious and friendly — the owner, Sam, is known locally for his warm welcome and hands-on approach, often chatting with customers and ensuring each order is cooked fresh to the minute.
Pisces excels if you’re craving classic fish and chips that aren’t weighed down by soggy batter or tired oil. The batter crisps up nicely, holding its crunch without being greasy. Cod and haddock both sit around £9.40, and other options include plaice, skate, and more imaginative seafood items like calamari and king prawns, giving a little variety to the usual lineup. For those avoiding gluten, grilled cod is a thoughtful alternative here — the kitchen understands dietary needs and is transparent about cross-contamination risks.
This spot is best suited for locals or visitors looking for a no-nonsense, authentic take on fish and chips away from busier high streets. Lunchtimes or early evenings see steady streams of regulars, attracted by the quick service and the atmosphere shaped by genuine care rather than aesthetics.
It’s also a good choice if you appreciate someone behind the counter who really knows their craft and is happy to accommodate special requests — whether that’s adding a fresh salad as a side or explaining the nuances of their frying oil. The chips come in generous portions, often given with a friendly extra, reinforcing that community feel.
In short, Pisces Fish Kitchen offers a straightforward, reliably tasty fish and chips experience framed by local friendliness rather than flashiness, fitting neatly into the casual dining scene of Kingston upon Thames.
