Prawn on the Lawn

North London


This B&W-tiled establishment both sells the freshest of fish and shellfish as a fishmonger's and serves it as a restaurant. Consult the ever-changing blackboard for the likes of Padstow crab salad, Szechuan prawns, taramasalata, and seafood stew not unlike Italian brodetto. Watch the briny critters be transported from their mountains of ice into the fire of the open kitchen.
