    My girlfriend and I have gone here several times over the years and we ABSOLUTELY LOVE the food here

    Fish and chips
    Natalie T.

    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.

    For the large fish & chips around $29... the battered fish was very delicious with the tartar sauce but to me the fries was soso kinda soggy to me but other that then the battered fish was good with their tartar sauce!

    Cod and chips
    Julia J.

    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!

    Cod (softer fish) so good! Must order!
    Dalena D.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    Haddock
    Brian S.

    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.

    Haddock, chips.
    Darren R.

    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

    Great customer service
    John G.

    Best fish and chips in nyc. Great customer service and big portion. Will be back for sure. Lunch special is a big portion

    Curry Sauce
    Aine V.

    went on good friday and it was not surprisingly packed! got haddock and chips and a side of curry sauce. quick service and hit the spot. curry sauce was insanely good, just like a chippy in ireland. satisfied!!!

    Nice surprise as I was driving on Greenwich toward 8th. Had the haddock and chips, small, nice portion. Super fresh, super tasty with vinegar & very tasty sauce.

    Been there at least three times this summer. Soggy fish. Limp chips. I prefer Gordon Ramsey's but it's closedown.

    Ask the Community - A Salt & Battery

    Is there still a shop next door where one can get British products?

    Yes there's a small shop where you can buy Brits products and next door to that is the Tea and Sympathy restaurant serving British food.

    Is the fish and chips beer battered?

    We do not use beer batter! And in regards to the below response, the temperature of the oil removes any existing alcohol from beer batter. And we do not have minors working. Hope this helps!

    Can you make a reservation?

    I couldn't find an answer for this. Anyone know?

    When do you serve scones?

    They make them every morning and they are really good.

    When was this restaurant established?

    Hello. We opened A Salt & Battery in October 1999, having worked for almost a year to get the batter and potatoes just right.

    Is this a cafe style restaurant, or sit down with a waiter/waitress?

    You order at the counter and there is limited seating.

    Does the fried fish have any dairy (milk or butter) in it?

    No

    Wow, this little shop is unassuming, it definitely catches the eye, especially for someone like me…read morewho loves Asian pastries. I've never tried a Japanese cheesecake before and was extremely excited to be able to pick up some treats for my coworkers as well as my partner's birthday cake from Keki. Ordering is fairly straightforward and done with a simple machine outfront. Once your order is ready one of the staff members hands it to you through a window; there is no inside area accessible to customers but our food came quickly and we took it back to the office. The cheesecake was fantastic. I read a bit about the background of the shop online and how the owner really cares about using high-quality ingredients, specifically dairy. It was justas described, light and bouncy. I enjoyed how it was not overly sweet and found that it was all too easy to devour the entire cake over the course of two days. Despite it not having much weight to it, it traveled surprisingly well as I took it home on my three train commute! Similar to what others have said, the real highlight of the shop, in my opinion, are their cream puffs. I'm not sure what I was expecting, but the outer layer was thin yet had a nice little crunch to it. We tried the classic milk, cookies & cream pistachio and ube flavors. Our favorite was the pistachio by far, which had such a unique yet decadent flavor and our second favorite was the milk cream puff. There's not much else I can say other than you really have to go here and try the desserts yourself. If you're a fan of Japanese desserts that are rich yet not too sweet, you'll be a fan of Keki.

    Just got some tarts here so my review isn't reflecting what they're known for or typically have. I…read moreliked these ok because it was creamy and light, not too sweet either, but it may be the crust part that I wasn't as much of a fan of. There are lots of other tart places that do something sinilar and didn't really think these were that memorable. But read this keeping in mind I didn't try to cake items so that product may be better if all you're looking for is a light fluffy dessert that's not too sweet. Try something else here! Just did take out option here so not much to ambiance or service from my experience to speak on.

We worked with Eric via email and he was great managing and making sure everything was settled ahead of the event. On the day of our lunch, we arrived around 20 minutes early and the table was already set up. We had two servers throughout the meal and they were lovely. They made sure everything was set up and we had everything we needed. For a large group reservation, they have a $60 minimum and you order everything ahead of time. (The afternoon tea set is mandatory for everyone to get). We had the afternoon tea set, caprese tarts and strawberry parfait for all attendees. The food was filling and tasty. Tea is always so good as well (I always get my Rose Lovers Milk Tea!) All in all, a great option for a group reservation in the city!

We got the Ube Crepe Cake and Chocolate Lava Cake. The size of both were the perfect amount since we just wanted something small to end the night. The ube crepe cake was really light and creamy. The ube flavor was pretty subtle, and I mostly tasted the cream. It's a perfect light dessert, but I would've liked the ube flavor to be stronger. The chocolate lava cake was super rich and decadent but also really delicious. I feel like it kinda battled with the ube crepe cake since they're total opposites. The staff were friendly. The interior was really cute and had a relaxing type of atmosphere that made it great for a nice place to sit, chat, and have dessert.
