Cheese and Biscuits: Masters Super Fish, Waterloo
food
It's a cliché, and one you will hear often repeated by Northern expats around these parts, that you can't get a decent Fish and Chips in London.
Given that, in the interests of my pocket and my pulmonary artery, I'm not about to try every chippy I come across in the capital just in case it turns out to be good, I did a bit of research and last Saturday turned up at Masters Superfish in Waterloo at the very 'Northern Chippy' time of 5:30pm.
Lovely crunchy chips in all sorts of sizes, and a healthy slab of flaky white fish covered in a dark, dense batter.
If I'm going to be picky, the fish was probably slightly overcooked - the extra crunchy batter wasn't to everyone's tastes, and the fish was just a smidgen on the dry side - but these were minor quibbles and I'd be lying if I said I didn't enjoy my plate of food.
I'd be happy to call Masters Superfish my local chippy, and once you add in the London markup it wasn't too expensive either.

and I am introduced to a new part of town or a street I never knew existed.Just like last night.HP was having to do what he does to pay bills and I agreed to meet him for a drink after work before heading off to Waterloo to try Master’s Superfish, an old haunt of his and the original destination for our meal last week when we got sidetracked by the whiff of beef at The Anchor & Hope.HP, suggested meeting at The Royal Oak on Tabard St. The where?
Anyway, Google map to the rescue showed Tabard St just South of Borough and The Royal Oak turned out to be a hugely agreeable old school pub which served Harvey’s beer from Sussex.A couple of pints of mild there and HP said “let’s have another at The King’s Arms on Roupell St. The where?
That is just as it was the last time HP visited and so apparently is the décor.We began with three starters, some stunning, fresh whitebait which was not over fried and left the meatiness of the small fish to speak for itself.
Huge fillets in a crunchy batter with not a trace of oiliness, inside, moist flaky fish which let off a breath of steam ( as it should ) once the batter was pierced, and perfect double fried chips.Best of all though, the pickles.
A beautiful view of St Paul’s and another great place for Fish & Chips.

COD AND CHIPS | MASTERS SUPERFISH | £8 — LONDON ...
food value
Tucked away just five minutes from Waterloo station, is an unassuming fish and chip shop with a big reputation.
It has regulars by the dozen, cabbies parked up in rows, and tourists flocking through the doors to sample what many claim to be some of the best fish and chips in London.
Fresh cod is perfectly battered, fried and served with classic chunky chips, gherkins and in-house pickled onions, with sauce boats of ketchup and tartare sauce left at your disposal.
Forget the days of greasy fish and chips with that lingering deep-fried aroma; Masters Superfish is the complete opposite.
Fresh fish is delivered from Billingsgate Market every morning, the service is friendly and quick, and they sell beer and wine for a decent price.

Michael Davies' Top 5 London Dishes He Can't Pass By
food
Michael Davies, head chef at The Camberwell Arms, shared the five dishes in London that he just can’t pass by.
Michael says, ‘For me the best fish and chips in London, the Masters Special, is essentially a large cod and chips.
Michael says, ‘This is by no means a salubrious dining location, but the fried chicken (Padak is a version with an onion and mustard dressing and vast spring onions) at times calls to me from almost anywhere in South London.’
Michael says, ‘A pizza dough sandwich.
Michael says, ‘The paneer roll is essentially a fried pancake stuffed with a spicy paneer and tomato curry, where the samosas are crisp and fiery, served with a little pot of tamarind sauce for dipping.’

Cabbies love it, fish is brought in daily from Billingsgate, and service is so no-nonsense it’s entertaining – Masters ticks a lot of ‘London institution’ boxes.
Starters showcased the fruits of the fryer, from spring rolls to whitebait and battered mussels, but we stuck to the complimentary bread and cold prawn.
A wide range of fish comes either battered or grilled (generally pricier).
Classic cod was generously sized and delivered quick-sharp from the fryer, its soft flesh suggesting freshness.
Grilled tuna had the thickness of two T-bone steaks and showed good grill-bar charring, though its dryness needed the rich tartare sauce and free juicy pickles to provide lubrication.
