Etta's Seafood Kitchen

I can not say enough about the extraordinary lunch we had at Etta's Seafood Kitchen.Every!morsel of the house salad,vegetables in coconut sauce,her fish fry and lightly fried calamari were all sensational!!It's not just the food but Etta's presence and attention to detail are unmatched with any other dining experience I've had in London!Go there and be healed by the delicious cuisine and be inspired by the professional and highly skilled Chef/Owner,Etta!! Yes,go NOW!!!

Came here for lunch on the off chance as we were walking through brixton village and I'm so glad we decided to stop. I had the brown stew fish, calamari and mac and cheese. All were really tasty especially the brown stew fish it's been a while since I had some authentic cooking. One thing I will say is if you are in a rush it's perhaps not the spot for you (I suspect its all cooked fresh which is perfect for me) but if not soak up the atmosphere and enjoy the rum punch or sorrel while you wait (which was yum)...can't wait to go back. :-)

I had the brown stew fish with lovely rice n gungu peas included. Good to have gungu for a change and compliment to the main instead of it obscuring the subtle flavour of the fish. Delicious al denté veg too although I’d have preferred the tough bits of the cabbage removed for ease of eating. I’d called ahead to clarify whether the main came with sides which I was pleased did. I was also informed by the lovely host that all the food was made to order at which point I asked for scotch bonnet the size of a fingernail tip to warm the dish and not overpower it rendering it inedible to me . She did very well although I suspect she had long nails or extensions because it was a tad hot for me. Nevertheless, I enjoyed my meal and studied their menu again, looking forward to trying other dishes on the menu in future. Good job Etta . You cook beautiful food.

Four of us ate at Etta’s yesterday and I have to say that this place is amazing. What a wonderful lady - so friendly and funny and and a great chef. The food was excellent - no fuss, just great tasty food. I had the fish - possibly the best I’ve eaten for a long time. We also had the fish platter which was equally good. Our only issue was that we had to rush our meal as we had somewhere else to go - next time we will make sure we stay at this great place much longer to enjoy this fun place. Thank you.

Staff were immediately welcoming - it felt like being welcomed into the home of distant family member. Food was cooked fresh and served beautifully. Great selection of *authentic* Jamaican dishes. Colourful and romantic decor. Walked past ‘Fish, Wings & Tings’ on the way through the arcade - those staff had no idea what ackee & saltfish was and just showed me a menu to check if it was there *facepalm*. I will certainly be coming back and recommending to my nearest and dearest. We had the fried snapper, ackee & salt fish, festivals, plantain and sorrel - all wonderful!
