In the mood for fish? Try one of these fabulous London restaurants.

1. Bentley’s Oyster Bar & Grill:

Since it’s opening in 1916, Bentley’s has served everyone from the flappers of the 1920s, to the rock and roll stars of the 1960s, to today’s chic Londoners. The restaurant has maintained its old charm by remaining in the same building, with the same Italian gothic architectural style. There is no minimum spend, so go, enjoy, and take a bite out of London’s history.

2. Chamberlain’s:

Chamberlain’s is located in Leadenhall covered market, once a meat and poultry market that was the heart of Roman London. Their seafood is of the highest quality and sourced from Chamberlain and Thelwell. The restaurant is over three floors and has an balcony terrace with a stunning view. Go and savour their incredible shellfish and some of the country’s best catches.

3. J Sheeky’s Restaurant and Oyster Bar:

J Sheeky’s is located on the quiet St. Martin’s Court between Charing Cross Road and St. Martin’s Lane. With a multitude of famous London play and opera houses surrounding it, J Sheeky’s is the perfect place to dine before or after an evening at the theatre. Moreover, it is surrounded by the buzz and excitement of Covent Garden and Soho.

4. Pescatori Italian and Seafood Restaurants:

Located in Fitzrovia and Mayfair, these family-run restaurants offer the best of both culinary worlds- world class seafood, and delicious Italian goodness. Their menu is seasonal, so even regulars can enjoy a wide selection of dishes. Crabs are sent directly from a family farm in Cornwall, while the other fish is bought fresh every morning from Billingsgate Fish Market. Yum.

5. Wright Brothers:

The Wright Brothers have a few restaurants in England, including one in Soho, London, another in Borough Market, London, and one in Cornwall. Their oysters come from an ancient private fishery, located on the Helford River in South West Cornwall. Clearly, the Wright Brothers are serious about their oysters.

6. Scott’s:

Located in Mayfair, Scott’s offers some of the city’s most delicious oysters, fish and crustaceans. Included in their a la carte menu are also some delicious meat and game dishes, so no matter what your culinary taste their will be something for you to enjoy. The tables look onto a beautiful oyster and champagne bar.

The English love their fish, so it’s no surprise that the country’s capital would have some of the most delicious seafood restaurants one could find.

You need to find a specialty coffee for a friend or that one, specific type of olive oil that a favorite recipe calls for. Do you trek down to your local grocery store, cross your fingers and hope they’ve started stocking gourmet foods right alongside the Heinz ketchup? Or do you crack open the laptop and start clicking?

Here’s why you should be buying your gourmet foods online instead of off:

Bigger Selection

Big city or small town, your local grocery stores aren’t going to have everything and they’re certainly not going to have it all in one place. What’s more likely to happen is that you’ll spend an afternoon driving from specialty store to specialty store looking for each and every specific gourmet food item you need. At the end of a long day, you may or may not have everything you need or you’ve been forced to settle for inferior ingredients.

By doing your gourmet food shopping online, you have access to a wider selection of products all in one place. Instead of motoring around town, you can do all your food shopping from your desk. It’s convenient, fast and you don’t have to leave the house.

Easy to Find

Stop wandering the aisles aimlessly trying to find that perfect box of chocolates. When you’re online shopping, you just type in what you’re looking for, hit the search button and you’re off to the races. Instead of hunting and scouring the bottom shelves of a grocery store, you can find gourmet food items fast.

Better Prices

For the most part, you’re going to find better prices buying gourmet foods online as opposed to specialty stores. Instead of paying for the overhead costs associated with running an actual store, online gourmet food sellers can pass those savings on to you, the consumer. Yes, you’ll pay for shipping, but those costs are often comparable or lower than what you’d spend on gas and time hunting down these products yourself.

Ship Directly to Gift Recipients

A good portion of gourmet food purchases are intended as gift items (if they make it that long). So, what’s easier? Driving across town, hunting down a selection of sauces, olive oils and marinades, packaging them so they won’t break and then mailing them out to a friend or simply clicking “Buy” on a website, entering your recipient’s mailing address and calling it a day?
