The experience was like a quick trip to the UK for about $30 instead of a $300 flight. The tiny place reminded me of a traditional chip shop somewhere in Greenwich or Romford neighborhoods in London, where I used to stay. My order was fish and chips with mushy peas on the side and a bubbled Dandelion and Burdock drink. The chips came with a flavorful savory sauce. The fish was cooked very well, and my overall experience was very positive.

Highly recommend this spot to any brit that is now in the area or travelling. It was a dearly missed taste of home. The chips were propper chippy chips, the potato fritters were amazing. (They call them potato dabs) I suppose it's a regional thing south vs. north Britain. Also the curry sauce was excellent as was the very friendly staff. Great customer service. Will absolutely go back next time im in NYC.

Has to be the best fish & chips in town! The batter was so light and crispy, and the fish (we tried Cod, Haddock & Sole) was fresh and flaky. The chips were golden and perfectly cooked — though you’ll want to salt them to your taste. And that tartar sauce? Tangy, garlicky, and made just right 👌. Honestly felt like having proper British fish & chips. Pro tip: a splash of malt vinegar takes it over the top!

​If you're looking for a taste of the UK, A Salt & Battery is the real deal. Forget everything you know about American-style fish and chips—this is the very definition of a traditional British chippy. ​The food is delicious, with the fish being a standout. It's incredibly soft and flaky, not at all chewy, encased in a perfectly crisp batter. It's clear they've mastered the art of frying. The chips are thick-cut and savory, just as you'd expect. ​While it's not a spot for a large group dinner, it's a fantastic place for a quick bite or a casual hang out in the neighborhood. The service is also wonderful—very friendly and welcoming.

Great fish and amazing home like chips, hearty fried meal would definitely check this place out again, haddock is flaky and juicy, the malt vinegar cuts through the fatty crispy exterior and adds a new depth of flavour. Cordial staff, clean and quiet atmosphere.

The batter was crispy and well cooked. Fish itself tasted great and was very tender. The tartar sauce was amazing as well. The chips (fries) were okay definitely need salt but were perfectly cooked. Would come here again and they had a lunch special which was decently priced.

The picture shown is the small plate, such a big portion, and I did get the haddock over the cod, with chips. The tartar sauce has a little bit of a Brown mustard taste to it. It’s counter seating with about seven seats, if you go out a busy time, there won’t be any word to sit. So delicious and I must try!

I love that this place is in a row of British shops. It’s nice that they have a bench outside too because the indoor seating is minimal—definitely more of a to-go place. The food was really good and it was exactly like you’d get it in the UK, but the prices are fairly steep. The portions are good and my dad and I were able to split a large fish (cod) and chips but it was still like over $35. The cashier was actually British though so that’s always an auspicious sign!

What a great little fish and chip shop! They serve tasty food and everything is just like I used to have it as a kid in Australia. I’d love to have some nice high quality tomato sauce to go with the chips but all in all this is a great shop.

Ordered the lunch special which includes regular haddock, fries, and bottled water. The haddock was the smallest I have had there, maybe 4” by 5”, thin at the front end, and very thin at the tail end such that the last half inch was so thin as to be indistinguishable from the batter. Chips were plentiful, generally small, and not very crispy. I requested hot sauce for the fries and rather than bring given the Cholula bottle at the front counter, that I was told was “For us,” and which I had used during a previous visit, I was given a small cup poured from an almost empty generic quart bottle in the back. I certainly did not get my money’s ($16.60) worth. The piece of haddock should have been used for their fish bites, not as a filet for lunch.

I had such high hopes for this place because the fish and chips look like the ones I had in London, I was not impressed. It was not bad, but I guess my expectations were too high. The fish was not the most crispy and the batter was falling off as I was eating it. The highlight was the tartar sauce, it was great! And the people who work there were lovely. They also have fried mars bars for those who want to try it. That being said I don't think I'll be back.

I love fish and chips but I didn't like this. The fish didn't have much flavor and the chips were tiny pieces. The fish also didn't stay in the batter and felt mushy when eating it. I preferred the fish and chips in times square. We were very disappointed after hearing this place was so good but it didn't live up to what we were expecting. They also do not carry lemon or fountain drinks.

Brits in New York looking to get our authentic F&C fix, The chips were pretty good, but the fish was inedible! it was watery, mushy and yellow, and it just slid right out of the batter. It tasted genuinely awful. Liquid literally pour out of the batter when we cut into it. Such a shame as the batter was nice and crispy. The tartare sauce was not like any I'd had before, it almost tasted like hummus. Sorry I don't like writing bad reviews but it was such a disappointment.

The service is great and the guy behind the counter is really chill so for that I'll give them 5 stars. But the food does not stand up to the hype. I got the Cod and it was mushy & tasteless inside and out. the house sauce really didn't have any flavor. The fries didn't look or taste like real coated double-fried chips. In fact, they are just regular French Fries. The coleslaw was unbelievably without any flavor too and had more mayo than cabbage. Tables were dirty and sticky i wasn't eating in so im not going to say much about that. Again.... the staff is really nice and I appreciate them but I would never return. Please visit at your own discretion

A Salt & Battery was just okay. The fish had a nice crispy coating but lacked seasoning, so it felt a bit bland. The garlic sauce was the highlight, adding much-needed flavor. Their $16 lunch combo (fish, chips, and water) is a decent deal, but overall, the food didn’t stand out. It’s an alright spot if you’re in the mood for fish and chips, but I wouldn’t go out of my way for it.

the gummiest batter… like hard stale rubbery cake on top of fish. was such a chore to chew my jaws hurt. isnt seasoned doesnt taste like anything either. just over cooked and too much flour. over mixed fryer not hot enough fish wasnt salted or wiped off before. same thing with the onion rings. tried one of every fish option too. crazy how this is the one thing you should know how to do well and you cant.
