Islington Fish restaurant meets Fishmonger: London's hidden gem
Prawn on the Lawn is the surprise toast of Islington, a fishmonger that opened with the intention of serving a little food as a side venture that has exploded in popularity. On its tiny premises, founder Rick Toogood serves tapas-style seafood dishes, inventively presented on hanging hooks to save space.
Secret Oyster Bar London: one of the best restaurants in Islington?
What they lack in square footage they are more than making up for in flavour, due in part to the freshness of their produce, which they state goes from the sea in Padstow to your plate in only 12 hours.

All the dishes are served cold, as Prawn on the Lawn doesn’t have a kitchen on site, but this hasn’t stopped the restaurant garnering near-universal praise, particularly for the eponymous dish: chilli prawns served on avocado and soda bread. For a table in their newly converted cellar dining room, booking is essential, as walk-in spaces at the Islington fishmongers are few and far between. It's certainly a contender for the best seafood restaurants Islington has to offer.
