We opened this site with a simple idea: buy brilliant fish, cook it correct, pour great wines and make people feel at bit like they are on holiday. A momentary escape from the hustle and bustle of London life.

Two AA Rosettes feels like a pretty nice nod that we're on the right track.

Massive congratulations to @fed_rico and the whole team who graft every day to make London Shell Co. what it is. The menu goes from strength to strength. You have all worked super hard chefs!

Thank you to everyone who's joined us along the way. Onwards. 🌹🌹 taken in Swain's Lane by @londonshellco

Last weekend we landed a whopper of a review in @thetimes. Today we've finally resurfaced and come back up for air. Our fish shop on Swain's Lane is a little more than a year old, but it feels like home for us now.

Congratulations to our incredibly talented team, the "Three Graces" (@emc.rog, @g.bryson, @sistashuck) and everyone else that has supported and helped us over the eight years we have been in business. You all know who you are.

Finally, mad love to @gilescoren for popping in for Oysters, coming back, enjoying it and bigging us up so much. taken in Swain's Lane by @londonshellco

Lobster and Secreto Iberico Pie.

As the nights draw in and our days become a little cold, comforting curiosities like this start to appear on our menu. A contrast of textures, flavours and ingredients. A pie that is nostalgic and contemporary at once.

Russian Salad with pickled herring. Inspired by our latest jaunt to San Sebastian. An elegant nostalgia trip, familiar faded glamour, indulgent yet light at a mid summers lunch. Within in a couple of tastes, you'll be reaching for the rose. taken in Swain's Lane by @londonshellco

Tuna Empanada Galician Stylie. Today's lunch special sliced straight from the pie. Better consumed off the plate rather than on the hoof.

Perfect pre footie dinner seeing these two @winey_thespian and @jac_and_forth at @londonshellco ! Outside tables and an overdue visit. The last time I saw co-owner Harry Lobek was 5 years ago when London Shell was still a floating restaurant at Regent's Canal with legends @bertblaize @doggandbeaune @wieteket - Harry could even remember what we all drank 🤯.

That's an indication he's not just a restauranteur and seafood guy. (They've already had @gilescoren give them a plug on IG so go check it out). 🍽️ 🐟

Now a neighbour place in Highgate which triples as fishmonger, restaurant and wine shop it is safely said to have a love of wine. Single bottle list of top producers (spotted Cotat, Bruyere Houillon, Des Tours, Commando G plus plus) and the standard list they have done themselves giving it individuality full of their own discoveries of wines that give bang for their buck and bottles they can speak about passionately. 🥂🍷

Top dish the Ajo Verde, Devon Lobster and Melon - a twist using pistachio and so tasty. 🦞

Go and hang here for a lunch or dinner. It's a must.
