This place no longer exists. The street is a little divey. We ended up at a pub that looked like an American look-alike.

Man, they are FAST! Placed an online order for a rush burrito and it was ready about 5 minutes later. The burrito itself was a good size and well-built. Tasty but nothing better than what I've had in SoCal. But because there aren't too many places around here that offer a solid fish burrito, I have to give it to HOOK. I'll be back to try their tacos.

The fish and chips were okay here.  My husband was a little surprised because it was made out of "real" fish lol.  The fish came from fillet where they kept the skin on the fish before it was battered.  We appreciated the freshness of the fish.  The chips were also good.  I liked the shop, it was nicely decorated.  It wasn't too far from Camden market either.  

The bathroom is kind of cool.  I just remember that it had some what of an industrial historic feel.  

The staff was pleasant and efficient.

THIS is THE place for fish and chips in London! 

I ate dinner here for the second time during my most recent trip to London. Hook is located in Camden conveniently close to the tube stop - very easy to get to. The ambiance is hip and slightly modern. 

Hook takes the classic fish and chips and elevates it with a creative twist. Of course, if you are looking for a classic fish and chips, you can get that here. But you will also find a variety of alternative fish and chips on the menu - cajun, lemon basil tempura, and a few specials of the day, all of which come with a fun homemade sauce that's not just your average tartar sauce. 

I came here with my boyfriend and sister. We ordered the cajun, curry spice, and squid ink fish and chips (the latter two were specials that day). All were great, we couldn't agree on a favorite. Across all the dishes the fish was super flaky and the outside was crispy. The chips are also some of the best but lacked a little salt. 

At £13-£14 a dish, Hook isn't cheap. But the fish is sustainably sourced and the flavors are fantastic -  rest assured you will be getting some great fish and chips if you dine at Hook!

So glad we stopped at this fish and chip.  My son who doesn't eat seafood or very much fish came to London and fell in love with fish and chips.  We have been to Poppies and a couple of other places but Hook is his favorite!!!  Definitely try the sea bream...

I ordered the classic panko fish and chips and the calamari small plate to share. The fish and chips were tasty and fresh. Service was a little slow, but there were only two people serving a full room. Decor inside is cute and clean!

The best fish and chips we had in England! We were exploring Camden Lock Market and decided to walk over here instead of eating the the market and are SO glad we did.The food is delicious, the service is good, and the prices are reasonable. 

We got the lemon and basil tempura fish and chips and the malaysian curry panko fish and chips. The fish was fresh and perfectly cooked and the chips were amazing. I love that they work with sustainable fisheries and tell you about the catches of the day.

We will definitely be back. Thank you for a great meal!

Never in my life have I had fish and chips with more attention to detail. Don't let the paper-lined basket fool you -- it's there for the charm -- this place is as gourmet as they come. Every element of the bream I ordered was meticulously planned, and it showed. The fish was outstandingly fresh, the batter light enough to eat but chock full of herby and lemony flavors. The chips were well seasoned, little half moons instead of proper wedges or fries, but just the perfect thickness, and so hot and crisp they could only have been made fresh. Malt vinegar was available, but absolutely unnecessary because everything was already so well balanced. Even the lemon wedge was huge and juicy.
Now, I've seen some reviews claiming that what really makes HOOK special is their sauces. While the garlicy mayo I had was indeed exceptional, it was a totally optional component of the dish. The fish and chips stood strong on its own, without any condiments.
The young Italian woman tending to customers was absolutely charming, and was extremely accommodating, giving the whole restaurant a very friendly vibe. 
The price is a bit premium, but for the service and attention to detail, HOOK is more than worth it, and should be on the short list for any visitor to London.

I got your basic panko breaded haddock with tartar sauce and chips. My husband got lemon basil fish with garlic truffle mayo, a side of calamari rings, a raspberry lemonade with vodka, and an Epic Saison. When the order came to the table (quickly, I might add) I thought there was no way we could finish it all - but we did. And it was ALL delish. 

Nice interior, cheerful service, decent prices for the portion sizes. My husband would pass on the beer, though - don't read the copy on the bottle!

So I'm pretty disappointed in this place after being really excited to try it because of all the unique flavor choices.
I think if you have obvious first time customers, and from the US mind you.. 
that you should mention that if they're ordering the fish & chips and it's not cod or haddock
which all fish & chips tend to be just about anywhere in the World... . Please INFORM THEM. 
I ordered this lemon/basil fish & chips and it was not at all  good. 
They used a fish called Sea Bream I believe after reading the reviews. I felt so sorry for myself that I didn't read the reviews previous to ordering this. 
That's not my job though. 
It's the servers responsibility to tell me since it's not at all listed anywhere on the latest menu they're giving out. 
It was fishy, still had the skin attached which was gross to me because of the fishiness it was already giving. 
This in particular fish is NOT GOOD for frying. It soaked up way too much oil because of its more meaty texture that In my opinion is only good for grilling, baking, broiling or WHATEVER else in the World besides frying. 
I know this place is probably good because I watched the people next to me tearing the shit up out of their fish which from looking at it was Panko crusted nice & flaky. PROBABLY THE COD OR HADDOCK. They were nodding their heads and looking at each other like .. mm, good right?! Yeah thumbs up. Yum! Yum! Lol oh my god. Sigh.
What a damn shame. 
Giving 2 stars because the fries were delicious and I liked sitting by the door on those comfortable booths people watching, but my fish really sucked and I came all the way on the tube from St John's Wood to Camden Town just to try this place. Thats 3 lines, 2 changes and 11 stops. #TUBEWORLDPROBLEMS
