My friend has been raving about this place and I'm so glad that I finally got to try it. If you ever have a craving for seafood, Slapfish is definitely the spot. The Irvine location did a great job of modifying the space to encourage social distancing. There are stickers on the ground to indicate where to stand and a table is in front of the cashier for physical distancing and keeping everyone safe.
Food:
Chowder Fries - It was exactly as expected! Delicious chowder ontop of fresh, crispy fries. If your food comes with fries already, I would recommend getting a side of Chowder rather than an entire order of Chowder Fries. It seems like the individual portion of Chowder is also more than the amount that comes with the Chowder Fries.
Lobster Taquitos - Honestly, this appetizer blew me away. From looking at photos, it looked like it would be overly greasy and tough. The taquito was honestly so light and the punchy sauces helped brighten it up. Would definitely get this again!
Fish and Chips - The fish batter had such a satisfying crunch! The portion of fish is so big and satisfying. Their tartar sauce was okay; it was a bit too watery for my preference. Also, the container the sauce came in was comically small compared to the fish.
Clobster Grilled Cheese - The portion of filling to bread was on-point. I also enjoyed how soft the bread was. I opted for the side salad and I was not sure if they forgot the vinaigrette or if it was just lightly dressed. The salad was a refreshing side for the heaviness that was the grilled cheese.
PS: Ask for some extra Old Bay on the side.
Some great fish taco for sure! Had a lunch with what the chef recommended and ended up with a fish taco and some fries. It was maybe a bit too much food for a lunch for me, but it was indeed great.
The taco had some amazing flavours and the fish itself was perfectly cooked! Great spot for a meal if you're in central Camden!
Pretty new to Camden - I only noticed them today after a night out with friends after work a couple of does down from Camden Town station. Because it was after 8, I was lucky to get the fish taco for just £4.95. two big tacos, really fresh and tasty. I'll definitely be back to try out what else is on the menu... Especially if I've been out drinking!!!!
