If you're tempted by the seafood bounty of Borough Market, stop in to this excellent fishmonger with a cafe-restaurant attached: all manner of fresher-than-fresh fish and shellfish dishes feature on the ever-changing chalkboard. And if nothing takes your fancy on the menu, the chef will happily cook the fish of your choice from the counter.
The takeaway stand outside does garlic prawns and cajun fish for a very reasonable £6.
