Where the Locals Eat Rating
Best Fish and Chips
Top 100 Restaurant, New York City
"New York's only truly authentic Fish 'n Chip shop."
– A Salt & Battery website
"Better than decent fish and chips, as well as working-class British shockers like batter-fried sausage, deep-fried Mars bars and chip butties (french-fry sandwiches and pride of the English midlands)."
—The New York Times
"Aside from the main attraction, properly wrapped in British newspaper, there are mushy peas, pickled onions, English baked beans, and the improbably edible deep-fried Mars Bars. Between orders, a relentlessly cheery staff spouts cockney slang."
—New York magazine
"...about as authentic as any non-U.K. fish-and-chips joint could be: The batter is light and crispy, the cod tender, and the chips Brit-style soggy (even before you douse them with vinegar)."
—Time Out New York
"There's not much room in the place – only a counter with a few seats – but you can take your fish out and find a spot in one of the neighborhood parks or walk over to the river and eat on the waterfront."
