My favourite dishes from one of my favourite fish restaurants

My favourite dishes from one of my favourite fish restaurants * Rick Stein *J Sheekey is a lovely fish restaurant: the service is second to none, and if I want to have a great night, that’s where I’ll go * Angela Hartnett *For the secrets of London’s most venerable fish restaurant look no further than J Sheekey Fish. From pollock to potted shrimps, crab to Cornish fish stew – here are dishes beloved of Sheekey’s fashionable clientele since the 1890s. Add some interesting vegetable ideas, and a slew of puddings – either rib-sticking or airily light – and you have a compelling kitchen companion. * Stella, Sunday Telegraph *A pearl. If you’re looking for a slice of the high life, at very reasonable cost, seek out this beautiful (intimate and Deco-ish) annex to Theatreland’s old-school fish favourite, where divine oysters head up a sophisticated light-bites menu * Hardens 2011 *J Sheekey Fish – 320 pages of fishy, crabby, scallopy, lobstery, shellfishy, haddocky loveliness – John Walsh * The Indpendent *Full of wonderful recipes * The Telegraph Magazine *Classic fish dishes from posh (lobster thermidor) to proletarian (deep-fried haddock and chips) from a venerable restaurant in London’s West End popular with the likes of Helen Mirren and Cate Blanchett. * YOU magazine, Mail on Sunday *Sheekey’s is a slick show and still one of the hottest tickets in town * Time Out 2011 *Today the freshness and availability of all J Sheekey restaurant ingredients mean that they have no restaurant set menu, wonderful fresh selection of dishes of the day, and no sittings, make Sheekeys one of London’s finest. * Best London Restauarants 2010 *Celeb haunt J Sheekey brings its fishy know-how to the page in 120 recipes, from shellfish to salads. Useful ‘how to’ sections demonstrate prep skills, and a fish chart helps you tell your haddock from your hake. * Squaremeal *
