If you’re this side of town and want a fishy supper (for fishy, see tasting like fish should do as opposed to smelly or suspicious!) then fishmonger’s Steve Hatt is the place to go. Chefs, foodies and trendy Islingtonites swear by the fresh, top quality produce that this family business has been supplying for four generations. No fancy advertising campaigns here; Steve Hatt’s reputation precedes him by good old-fashioned word of mouth. The selection of wet fish (try wild salmon or swordfish), smoked fish (haddock from their own smoke house) and shellfish (lobster, mussels, crab and more) will leave you spoilt for choice and, if you’re something of a whizz in the kitchen, you’ll be getting excited about the gourmet feast you can prepare. Word has already got out north of the River about Steve Hatt’s fabulous fish counter but it's worth getting in line; as one happy shopper so aptly put it, Steve Hatt makes Waitrose look line Captain Birdseye!
