What people say, in short
Most people recommend Cockney Kings for fish and chips, and one diner says the cod and chips made a Brit forget they were abroad. Cockney Kings has more than one outlet; this listing is the Cornwall Avenue one in Kitsilano, which three commenters name, while one names a Main Street outlet. Several people feel the chips fall short of classic British ones, while one finds them fluffy and custardy. One diner says the malt vinegar barely registers, and another calls the seafood soup unremarkable.
