Stopped by A Salt & Battery and really enjoyed it. The fish was very good fresh, crispy, and cooked perfectly. The chips were just as good, super flavorful and not bland at all. The staff was very friendly and welcoming, and the food came out quickly, which was a nice bonus. Solid spot if you’re craving classic fish and chips.

it was yummy! i ordered the cod and a side of chips to-go but ended up eating there. the food came in a paper tray wrapped in a large sheet of paper which felt interesting and a bit unique.
the batter on the fish was super crunchy, and the cod itself was moist and flaky. the tartar sauce was just okay, not quite what I’m used to. everything is fried to order, so it comes out piping hot. the chips are ordered separately but plated together. they have vinegar and salt on the side for you to add.
a little pricey, but overall solid fish and chips that satisfied the craving. service was okay, and the shop itself is cute. just beware if you sit inside the shop, you will end up smelling like oil!

Such a fun little fish & chips spot! The cod was the star of the show, super flavorful and crispy in the best way. The hardock was okay, not really my thing, but still worth a try. Everything came out hot, crunchy, and super satisfying. They also have fun soda drinks to try out too. Great portions, good vibes, and definitely a spot I’d hit again when I’m craving fish & chips.

Outside of Southwark London, these are the best fish and chips we’ve had. It’s a no frills place with a diner feel similar to many small places in England. The curry sauce was also a perfect pairing. The chips were fried perfectly and to the right crisp.
Recommended with enthusiasm.

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.

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!

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

Salt & Battery was an excellent experience. The food was outstanding — fresh, flavorful, and exactly what you expect when you come for proper fish and chips. Everything was cooked perfectly and tasted amazing.
The place is small, but that actually makes the experience feel more personal. The person who takes your order also brings the food to your table, which adds a nice, attentive touch.
Overall, excellent food and excellent service. I would definitely come back and highly recommend it.

In the top 3 fish & chip places I’ve experienced in the USA. Small inside but just like a lot of “chippies” back home.
If you’re visiting NYC and want a taste of home, try it

Lovely hole in the wall serving authentic UK fish and chips. Multiple fish options available; I went with haddock and it was excellent. The chips are hand-cut and delicious. Absolutely the best tartar sauce I’ve ever had! Atmosphere is a simple, clean, no-nonsense Brit-punk vibe. The proprietor is very pleasant and service is quick.
