Great food. Fast delivery. Nice delivery man. What more do you want?

Ok, so if you've seen it on Throwdown with Bobby Flay and it's peeked your interest and you want to try it, go ahead, I did. The place is very small with minimal room to sit. Wh...

Satisfies a Craving 11/8/2004

When you're craving fish and chips, this place definitely hits the spot. It will probably run about $12 but this is NY (and whoever stated that a portion of fish and chips in England runs about $2 is certianly not eating in London). It's actually less greasy than most fish and chip shops, although its certainly not very nutritious, and the fish is fairly fresh for a chippie. So every once in a while, enjoy! Pros: food, service, British radio more

England in New York 7/14/2004

I love London and I love this place. The fish and chips are the best this side of the Atlantic. The cod is crunchy and flaky. I just wish the portions were a little bigger. To complete the mood, they have a good selection of English sodas and drinks to go with your meal. Food is kinda pricey but much cheaper than an airline ticket to England. Pros: Good Food, Beverage selection Cons: , Small Portions more

Helppp!!! I've just been assaulted!!! 6/8/2004

From all the other reviews posted you can prolly get a good read of the place. On the downside: the food can be a bit pricey (an order of cod and chips will run you $7), the portions are 'merely adequate', the food is greasy as they come, the fries are 'chips' not 'pommes frites' meaning they are soggy (though i suppose some people like that sort of thing), the place can't seat more than 5 people, and the air reaks of grease. I know that sides like a lot of negatives but if you put up with all that you'll be treated to some pretty good fried fish and the closest thing to authentic British fish and chips the city has to offer. And that's definitely worth a try at least once. Pros: the fish, british appeal Cons: , pricey, soggy fries more

Hmmm ... 5/19/2004

Want to love the place ... but hate going there as you come out STINKING of frying. (Extractor fan?). Extremely expensive too - a 400% premium over Beale's Plaice on Eastenders for example! Have always had decent service at least. Pros: Fish and Chips Cons: , Way overpriced, Can't sit down really more

An Insult and Badfood! 1/25/2003

Plain english......SUCKED, SUCKED, AND SUCKED! You're better off fishing in the East river and frying fish than hitting up this hell hole or buying a fish o let value meal from Mickey D's! To sum it up OverPRICED, deceiving employees, and plain old crappy food. The employees need to take a class in 101 'Customer Friendliness.' more

Speedy Delivery 10/22/2002

Dying for some fish and chips one night, my boyfriend and I called in a delivery to this place. I swear the bell rung as we were hanging up the phone. This alone impressed me so much that I would definitely order from A Salt and Battery again and again. Beware, though, that you could literally squeeze out a gallon of grease from the fried goodies, but, boy, is it worth it! more

A+Rated Chip Shop 10/4/2002

One of the best places in the city for fish and chips that's served to you as it should taste. The fish always tastes fresh, and the chips are tasty. Appreciate their bow to American tastes with the serving of tartar sauce in addition to the bottles of malt vinegar about. Wish the Greenwich street location had more seating like their 2nd Ave location, because one invariably leaves it smelling of grease. Cons: Lack of SeatingThe fi more

bloody terrible 10/3/2002

Being a brit in NYC I was happy to hear that chip shop was opening, alas A Salt and Battery did not live up to my hopes. The chips were terrible, I had a saveloy that was deep fried (??), and it was just generally bad. Its also a little pricey for some fried potatos. (Note to anyone non-English who has this as their first chip shop experience, a portion of chips in the Uk typically costs around $2, and you get more then what you get here) I understand that 'Englishness' is seen as a novel thing here, but lets not exploit that by having a very poor excuse for a fine British tradition. . Cons: bad food, expensive more

The Dog's Bollocks! 9/24/2002

Fresh fried Cod! Deep Fried Mars Bar! Boddington's Ale! It's simply the best in fast-food British cuisine. The prices aren't cheap, but the food is delicious. more

A Fried Lover's Paradise 9/16/2002

Oh boy what a GREAT hangover spot. This place is FRIED HEAVEN. Try the cod and chips...the basic, but it's delish. Especially doused with salt and vinegar. Order the side of curry and it's even better. Mmmmm!!!! Pros: fried fried fried Cons: overstuffed belly more

Mmmmm... fattening... 8/15/2002

In a word: excellent. I think the best fish and chips I've had in the city, or maybe tied with Telephone Bar & Grill. Excellent English atmosphere, and good clean food. Pricey, but come on, this is New York. What were you expecting? more

Flying Fish 8/9/2002

Fresh from the fryer, juicey & moist. This also includes the chips. Overall a top gaff. Don't listen to the whiners, going on about the price, & even worse, comparing it to English prices. Get real i live in a shoe box, & that costs me more in 6 months than my 1st house cost me in England, this is New York!. I've got a good appitite, but i had to admit defeat, i think the fish was related to Jaws, & a good portion of real chips to go with it. So get real & get down there!!! more

Something's fishy here 7/18/2002

I've always loved fish and chips and when I saw that A Salt and Battery opened a branch in the East Village, I decided to check it out. What a disappointment! The prices were obnoxiously high and the fish had an ammonia smell and taste. Now I don't know if they prefer their fish in England on the rotting side but here in America, fish is NOT supposed to have an ammonia smell/taste. It means that the fish is old and better thrown out! For the price and quality, you are better off making fish and chips at home! Cons: expensive, poor quality more

yum 5/27/2002

Yes it is pricy but its the best fish and chips I've found in the states. The ONLY place I've ever tried that gets it right. Makes me feel like I'm back in London. As for the complaints about no tables...Its a CHIP SHOP! Not a five * restaurant. Its supposed to be take out. more

Fish Fest 5/8/2002

Great for takeout fried fish and big old fries. A wide variety of seafood (and other things) available, battered and fried. Service is on the slow side for takeout, but more than made up for by the staff's friendliness and the chipshop ambience. Pros: Fun alt-fast food, Fresh fish Cons: Can be slowish more
