I still think for the price it's well worth it. The large is massive and the serving of chips is generous. This feels quite authentic to what I'd get across the pond. I love the option of both curry or mushy peas. The server was attentive, made sure we were comfortable and had everything we needed and even offered extra tartar sauce. I'm a big cod fan - that's the way to go but haddock is also good. read more

cute and cozy store for long time. they'll make a French one Infront of you. After I had dishes inside, all over from top to bottoms smells - very oily :( I don't recommend wait/ eat inside. because of the store is so tiny and kitchen is right next to the cashier..... eat outside benches or go to the park right around the corner. Food quality is excellent! read more

I really liked it here! Got the smaller size cod, and it was still a pretty big portion - and soooo crunchy!!!!! Also loved the chips - soft and crispy all at once. You might leave smelling like oil, but it's worth it. Sitting there even convinced me I need to go back to London this summer LOL. I also am curious about the shrimp - next time! read more

A Salt & Battery - Cod and chips - Fish & Chips Near Me - New York, New York

Used to be great, now not so much. The batter is dense, thick and chewy - the exact opposite of what you want a fish supper to be. Chips and coleslaw were nice, but that's not why you come here. Disappointing read more

A Salt & Battery - Haddock, chips. - Fish & Chips Near Me - New York, New York

One of the best fried fish I've ever had for fish and chips! MUST ORDER COD!!! I really enjoyed the Cod which is more of the softer slider vs the haddock (firmer). I get sick of fried food easily so 4 oz is good for me. Tartar sauce is sooo good! It comes with the fish. You have to order the chips separately but nothing extraordinary. The individual fry size is a bit on the larger side and I prefer thin fries. read more

I honestly wanted to like this place. I visited with my family, since my dad just came back from visiting his birth home, England and he wanted to have some more fish and chips. We had the cod and it was mushy and the batter was so dense. I honestly only enjoyed the chips and beer. The staff were cool. Definitely gave London vibes. I wish the food was better to give it 5 stars. The shop next door was nice to visit as it had all of the British regalia and exports. read more

Cuisine: 2 Service: 6 Decor: 4 Value: 5 Overall: 3 I've been coming here for decades. Due to healthier eating, I probably only visit once a year at best nowadays. Over the weekend, I stopped by while in the neighborhood to grab a snack with my family. Walking into the dimly lit restaurant, you get hit in the face with fumes of oil infested air. I'm use to that, so didn't bother me much. However, what came next was a shocker. We ordered one piece of Fried Haddock ($16) and another piece of Fried Cod ($17). I don't know what happened, but it feels like they have completely forgotten how to fry fish. We started with the Haddock, and it was bland as can be. The batter and fish had no taste of salt. It was also not very crispy and flimsy when you pick it up. Is this the same quality of fried fish I have had for decades? I certainly do not believe so. Moving onto the Fried Cod, we found the same problems. The fish itself was more tender due to the difference in variety of fish, but a total lack of seasoning and a barely crispy batter made it only semi-edible. This is my usual order, so more than a little disappointed is how I would describe my feelings. What's up? I'm so lost. Btw, the tartar sauce was always watery and never been very good. Yet, they still charge extra for each additional one you request. Skip it and use the malt vinegar and salt. I never thought A Salt & Battery had the best fish & chips, but it was always decent. Compared to the amazing Fried Cod (Friday special) I had at Butcher Block just a few weeks ago for half the price, this was a major letdown. Read my review of Butcher Block if you care to see the difference. I hate to say that I will never be back again. It's like saying goodbye to a longtime girlfriend after one bad argument. However, she has a lot to prove the next time we meet. Till then, I'll need some space. read more

Not a bad spot! Was recommended by a buddy to come here for some fish & chips! It's a rather smaller spot with a few stools for order and dine-in. My UK buddy who came with us recommended we tried his favorite mushy peas and canned beans. Definitely interesting take. The fish and chips were decent, nothing extraordinarily special about it in my opinion. Pricewise was a bit more than I'd expected to pay, but nevertheless not too bad. read more

A cashier has bad mouth. I understand he's from GB but he's not talking to friends. While we were sitting, he started to close around 8:20pm. (They close at 9pm) he took all in the back plastic utensils/ ketchup and vinegar we wanted more! Without asking. he's also started to spray to other counter and we smelled so BADLY because we were sitting near by. It's not healthy at all so Don't spray!!! I wonder what's the rush? While other customers were inside. Since he's acting like that although food is ok I won't go back here. If he's not caring to the customers, we say no thanks! While we were waiting for food inside wired old customers talked us and had conversations LOL read more

Great place. Been around forever. Haddock tastes like Cod but smaller chunks/flakes and slightly less mild. Sole is a flat fish, so small flakes, more condensed, meatier and more fish flavor. Even then, they were both very similar. Not sure what whiting would taste like. Very nice staff. Ginger glasses dude. The fish looked and tasted great. Price isn't bad. Their tartar sauce is good. read more

Traditional English fish and chips. Limited seating so it's a grab and go but worth it

After a hiatus of over one year+, I went for my favorite friend fish. It appears there are new owners and they changed the batter and tarter sauce. Did not like the fried fish at all. I preferred the "old". Will not ge returning. Very disappointed. Cannot understnad why new owners felt the need to change the batter. read more

I have been a customer since 2005 when they had a eastside location. Would drop in whenever in New York. The fish was always fresh, nice portions, hot and well seasoned with lots of flavors. Today , 2/14,2026 stopped in for my usual cod and chips. The place felt different. To my surprise and disappointment the fish was very bland, no seasoning at all. What happen to that great British taste? New owners maybe? What a waste of money. Dont think I will go back. Its very sad. This place rate a different "10" now only a "3" What Happen read more

from my visit on 1/29/26 The person at the register at first ignored me then glanced up from his phone only for a second to ask me what I wanted. while I was giving him my order he was back to looking at his phone. after I paid, he said he will bring the food out to me. as I was walking to my seat, I looked back and noticed him with his finger up his nose. This really turned my stomach and I was unable to enjoy my dinner. Horrible experience. Next day and I'm still nauseous when thinking about it. never going back. discussing! read more

FOOD STELLAR! Gordon Ramsey, with all due respect, THIS PLACE is superior to your fish and chips spot on 42nd street. Service good its a casual place to eat. I always get the Haddock and chips. The Crust is crispy and flaky NOT OILY. The fish (one piece) is thick and filling, guarantee you will feel satisfied and fulfilled after eating here. P.S. Try to get there before 7pm if you want to dine in, They want to go home too after making fish and chips all day, its a boutique (small) establishment. read more

For $12? Sure, once in a while. For $18? Absolutely not, there are many better options. For $28.50? This is bloody awful. Watery, bland, obviously-frozen cod with breading that didn't conform to the meat at all. Would prefer Gordon Ramsay's Fish & Chips, or Oscar's Place in the West Village, which doesn't try to pull off the crazy up-charge of separating the fish from the chips. Cashier was friendly and the tartare sauce was divine. The price for an 8oz cod filet (post-breading, certainly), chips, and a water is lunacy. read more

Great quick fish and chips. I tried the cod and would get it again. For $18 (a super large size that will also be lunch the following day), it's a steal in the neighborhood. The crust was crunchy but not overly thick. I preferred the taste with malt vinegar vs the more traditional tartar. read more

I love a good fish and chips and this one I recommend trying this one out by yourself or with a friend. When I arrived it was quiet and with two other customers finishing up their meal. But after placing my order it got busy and lively with all the seats getting taken. So it can instantly shift from a slow pace to a busy one. Do be mindful that it takes time for your order to be made since I heard the fryer going on the multiple orders placed. My order was the regular sized Cod and Chips. It was the ideal size because it was a quite filling for me. If you are hungry or want to share, get a large and some chips. Great location since it is a good walking distant to West 4th or The Meatpacking District. Great service with the cashier/server who brought my order to where I was seated. And overall, delicious fish and chips read more

An authentic feeling UK chippy, we had the cod with curry sauce, it was just ok, I mean it was decent, we did come in late at 8pm & felt like we were getting the last of the day bits & pieces - a few more high top tables would go far in there, it was raining & we ate in, the staff was sweet & quick to respond, my wife's English & she enjoyed it, so we will go back, it definitely can feed a craving for Fish&Chips read more

If you're craving top notch fish and chips, this is the place to go! The batter is light, crispy, and golden brown, none of that greasy, soggy stuff you get at lesser spots. The fish inside is flaky and fresh, and the chips were cooked with just the right amount of crunch. The portions are generous, and they offer great dipping sauces (highly recommend tartar sauce). Service was friendly and quick, even during the busy lunch rush. The atmosphere is cozy and casual with some outdoor seating as well. read more

Tiny fish & chips shop with very limited seating (few stools inside and 2 benches outside). The inside is pretty simple and the menu is easy to navigate. My go to is the fish and shrimp combo or the cod; definitely get a side of chips. There's tartar sauce, ketchup, salt and vinegar available but I always get the curry sauce as well - it's great for dipping! Service is quick and efficient. There's no tap water, you can buy bottled water or bring your own. Overall classic fish and chips with consistent quality that hits the spot. Just wish there was more room for seating! read more

British food isn't something we seek out, but for real fish & chips, we'll make an exception. Small shop with counter seating, offering made to order fish & chips. We opted for haddock and cod. Both were perfectly cooked and served tongue blistering hot. Shared a large chip and small mushy peas. Authentically British, so food needed a few shakes of salt. Their in house tartar sauce isn't grandma's mayo & sweet pickle goop. A Salt's tartar sauce almost had Mexican crema base to it. I don't do tartar sauce, but their's was a pleasant surprise. NYU college kid working the counter was friendly and efficient. Greeted us and chatted briefly, checked on us often. read more

I ordered a 4oz Haddock with a side of chips and mushy peas and WOW! Literally so delicious. The fish was fried to perfection and the fries were the perfect texture. It reminded me of my time visiting London. To tie it all together, the service was stellar. There was a nice man at the counter with glasses who was so sweet and friendly; although the space is on the smaller side the hospitality made it feel like a large bustling restaurant. I highly recommend you give this spot a try. I plan to visit frequently as I did spot a very affordable lunch special. read more

Located right next to where we were staying at a friend's house. The space is small inside, maybe enough to seat 4-5 people but the food was very good. We shared fish + chips + mushy peas and definitely enjoyed it. Price: - Chips ($6): it was A LOT of fries lol, we couldn't even finish them - Homemade mushy peas ($4.50): soooo good. The flavors were great and complimented the fish well - Large haddock 8 oz ($14.95): fried as one giant piece. The tartar sauce with it was also good. The fish is moist and crispy on the outside, comes out piping hot! read more

Came on a Friday afternoon for a late afternoon bite. The space itself is small, maybe about six seats inside. It wasn't busy at the time, so I was able to dine in. Ordered regular sized fish bites and chips. The cashier told is the fish bites were cod. The fish was okay. The portion was huge though. I wasn't expecting to get four fish bites and for each of them to be around five-six inches. The fish itself was pretty good. It was tender. However, the batter wasn't crispy. The fish could've been fried better. The chips were good. The fries were really crispy, and again, the portion was huge. Easily split between two people and be a satisfying meal. For the area, the price wasn't bad. There's a credit card fee. I don't think there's a debit fee, but we paid in cash just in case. read more

The best Fish & chips spot in NYC for us. I was partly brought up in London, so it's kind of my soul food, and I've always been on the lookout for a good one. My husband got Haddock & I had Cod. We also shared chips. The cod was delicious-fresh & not fishy at all. The batter was as excellent as it gets--crispy yet fluffy. My husband's haddock wasn't quite my cup of tea but he really loved it. The chips were good too, yes, proper chips, not French fries. The place was very small so we needed to share the space & the condiments (Of course, the vinegar & ketchup) but it wasn't an issue at all. The guy with the eyeglasses behind the counter was nice & funny too. The only question was about the tartar sauce. It said "$8" on the menu but we might've been able to have a little bit for free. We weren't sure of it so next time we'll definitely ask. Also, we needed salt for the Fish & chips (it was probably just our personal taste, though). Those are the reasons I gave 4 stars instead of 5 but we'll definitely be back soon. Thanks! read more

Small place but the food is fresh, hot, and delicious. The cod was fried to perfection and was so flaky. We doused our fish and chips in vinegar and we were obsessed. We also got to try their mushy peas. We've never had peas like that before and it was an interesting texture, almost aldente? Not bad by any means, it was just new/different to us. We were able to snag some seats inside and they brought our food out to us, which was nice. Overall we love this place (and its name lol) and cannot wait to return to try their other fishes! read more

I had my fair share of decadent fish 'n' chips when I lived in London. The Fish Bits here were fine but not memorable. No seasoning in the batter, so you're relying on pure tartar Points to "A Salt..." for the English-only staff. Minus 1,000 points to Slytherin for frying these in a fan-less, A/C-less, grease-filled room that I can only imagine is the 11th circle of hell. How anyone could dine in here in the summer is beyond me. Plus 500 points to Hufflepuff for the owner giving us extra "Bits", just cuz. read more

I had a heinous fish and chips craving on May 6th so I stopped by A Salt & Battery. I mean it was not bad. And I didn't have diarrhea afterwards so that's a plus. But it was not the best fish and chips ever. I hope I can try more in the city and come back with a comparison bc Ireland is hard for anyone in NY to beat, but I wouldn't not recommend it. I was honestly just grateful there was a shop and it was in West Village. 5.5/10 read more
