Which dish is Britain’s finest gastronomical invention and intended to make you feel greasy, unhealthy and fabulously guilty? Fish ‘n’ chips of course. Now Michelin-starred chef Tom Aikens (another of UK’s many celebrity chefs) has decided to give the dish a “feel-good”-lift.
In February Tom Aikens opened an eco-friendly fish 'n' chips restaurant named Tom’s Place on Cale Street in Chelsea, just around the corner from his other two restaurants.

The restaurant has been designed using recycled materials wherever possible and it only serves fish from sustainable sources (mostly the fishes are line-caught from small, family-run day boats in Southern England). Expect also the menu to include a few fish you won't find in traditional chippies, such as red gurnard, ling and megrim sole.
A portion of fish ‘n’ chips at Tom’s Place isn’t particular cheap. Price tag for a cod is around €16, but then it hasn’t got a bitter after-taste of guilt and bad conscience.
