Cousins Fish Shop and Restaurant is a relatively new fish and chip shop in Wimbledon and after walking past a few times since we moved last November, Steve and I finally managed to visit. The menu is surprisingly large with an array of starters, different fish and sides. There's even a healthy section consisting of grilled fish and new potatoes.
I don't drink fizzy pop that often but when I do Fanta orange is my all time favourite, it's perfect for a fish supper.
We decided to get a mixed platter with 4 choices in order to try a range of starters. First of all this plate was huge, a lot bigger than I expected it to be and definitely something which can be shared amongst many people. The scampi was my favourite with a good fish to batter ratio. The calamari was a little bland and the fish cake had an unusual taste about it. The tempura prawns were nice and crispy and the sweet chilli dipping sauce was a tasty addition. The chips were lovely, proper chippie chips with a fluffy centre.
We also ordered a small cod and chip, the fish was very fresh and the batter had a nice crunch and not at all greasy. Again, very nice chips.
Mushy peas, my favourite. This portion was delicious.
Cousins is a lovely little fish shop and somewhere I'd like to visit again. They do 10% discount for local businesses and you can get a take away if you don't fancy eating in. The food scene in Wimbledon is pretty poor so it's nice to see an independent restaurant so close to home.

Maybe we can get a takeaway next time I visit!
