I tried the £37 Fish & Chips at Harrods in London, and I was quite blown away by it, but would I pay for it again? When I heard that there was a twist on this classic British dish to justify such a steep price, I was immediately sceptical. How can you charge that much for something I usually get in my favourite chip shop for under a tenner? But curiosity got the better of me, and I had to find out why this has become a thing.

I love what I get in my usual chippy and it's hard to mess it up. Fresh fish, perfectly cooked chips, and a generous side of mushy peas aren't hard to come by in the UK. However, something must set this one apart to justify a price tag of £37. Apprehension aside, I was excited to try it, largely down to the fact that I let myself become quite hungry beforehand.

Tom Kerridge is responsible for the luxury take on Fish & Chips. When a renowned chef tackles a classic like this, I expect great things. Part of me prepared myself to be disappointed, but my dinner was followed by a slice of humble pie.

Walking into Harrods, I knew I was in for a treat. If you've ever been to this London department store, you know that it is on the more expensive end of the scale.

I was shown to my seat quite quickly and given a menu, on which there was the £37 fish of the day, which was served with chips and a selection of three sauces: curry sauce, tartar sauce and pease pudding. It wasn't long until my order was taken and my food eventually arrived.

One of my main concerns before I arrived was portion size. For £37, I wanted to leave full. A massive portion of fish, along with eight chunky chips stacked like a Jenga tower, arrived along with a flight of the three sauces and the minted peas I had ordered (because mushy peas were not on the menu).

Of course, the fish, which was haddock that day, was the first thing I tried after squeezing over some lemon. The only way to describe this was abundantly fresh. The flavour was simple yet delicious, with no frills and a perfectly crispy batter.

When it came to the chips, they were fluffy on the inside and crunchy on the outside. I have to admit, they were ten times better than what I would get in my local chippy. The minted peas were a delight, and the portion was pretty large, much more than what I was expecting. All in all, it was a slap-up meal.

That, paired with the ambient setting, made for something quite luxurious. While the fish of the day with the chips was £37, it was an extra £8.50 for the peas.

The fish and chips alone were filling, and the real star of the show was the curry sauce. I scraped that little pot clean.

A shout-out to the staff who made the experience more than comfortable and enjoyable, talking me through the menu and making sure everything was as good as it could be while I was dining.

The only sting was when the bill arrived. With the food, a £1 cover charge and the service fee, the total came to a whopping. £52.19.

It's an experience I thoroughly enjoyed, and I am glad to have tried it. But would I pay that again? I think I'll stick to my regular fish and chip shop going forward. But I have to say, the dish was the best Fish & Chips I have had. I can understand why it is priced the way it is, and it is truly an elevation of the British classic. But my local chippy has my heart, not only for its pricing but for the consistent quality I get every time.

If I were to return, I would try other items on the menu. If my Fish & Chips were that good, what are they doing to the £27 Fish Finger Sandwich and the £23 Prawn Cocktail on the menu?

I was blown away by the chips. Even though there were only eight on my plate, they were hefty and filling, and cooked to perfection. It is the main thing that, for me, made this experience worth it.
