17 Spectacular Seafood Spots in NYC

"Forget the standard one or two fish options. This dependable British takeout spot in the West Village, from the same owners as Tea & Sympathy next door, serves some great fish and chips. There are four different choices — cod, haddock, sole, or whiting — served in two different sizes, and portions are pretty generous. The large size is big enough for two. Order chips separately, or mix it up with another quintessential English side, mushy peas or battered beets." - Eater Staff

Three Contenders for the Best Fish and Chips in Manhattan - Eater NY

"The West Village counter-service spot A Salt & Battery was founded well over a decade ago, and makes some of the most celebrated British-style fish and chips in the city. It is a facsimile of a British “chippy,” with a high counter, a stainless steel shelf running along the circumference of the shop seating eight or so, green tiles with a fish motif, and behind the counter, three massive bubbling vats of fat. The selection of seafood runs to cod, haddock, whiting, sole, shrimp, and scallops, but the traditional cod is the favorite (small $8.95, large $14.95), and the shop sells 80 to 90 pounds of it per day. Feeling peckish I ordered the large size, along with chips ($6 extra). My lunch came in a paper boat, with the chips underneath and a filet of cod so big it flopped across the top. Cod is a big fish, so the filets are often gigantic. The fish benefited from a battered coating of medium thickness — definitely thinner than found in pubs. It also had a slightly rubbery quality, and it was a challenge to keep the coarse-grained and slippery white fish inside its coat. Nevertheless, the fish sported a briny flavor, and the fries — excuse me, chips — were some of the best in the West Village, runty, not greasy, and tasting slightly earthy." - Robert Sietsema

Fish is sold separately from the chips and the cod itself was very mushy as if it was cooked too long, the chips were acceptable but flavor wise I think you’ll have to add some salt on top perhaps. The tartar sauce was good with the fish but it was very vinegary and the garlic was STRONG, wait time wasn’t too bad and service was nice with the cashier coming to the table!

It’s a bit expensive from what I used to pay in the past but it still tastes good. They include a lot of chips, even if it is quite expensive and additional cost (Around $20 for fish & chips and soda). Got the cod and it was nice and flaky. The staff were really nice though!

Overall amazing fish and chips. Got the small shrimp & cod combo and with chips it was definitely enough food for 2 meals. Not a huge fan of having to pay for extra for chips ($7). Onion rings were also incredible.

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.

The fish was decent but not exceptional. It feels overpriced at over $15 for just a large fish, especially since chips are not included. You have to pay an additional $7 for chips. I'll have to say the winner in this meal is the tartar sauce. It was absolutely delicious and made everything else taste good

My daughter and I shared the cod & chips. The portion was a decent size for the price. The fish was crispy, however both the fish and batter were heavily under-seasoned and the batter did not stay on the fish. If not for the tartar sauce and vinegar, the fish wouldn’t have had any taste. Nonetheless, the staff were lovely. Bathrooms available at the next door shop (same owner).

This is more about Tea & Sympathy next door to Asalt and Battery. Love the food if you are into British foods. Note you cannot just have tea. You must order food as well.

i found myself craving fish and chips and i was lucky i remembered how perfectly A Salt and Battery makes this traditional dish. the side of mushy peas was divine

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.

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.

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.

The best Fish & chips spot in NYC for us. I was partly brought up in London, so it's kind of my soul food, and I've always been on the lookout for a good one. My husband got Haddock & I had Cod. We also shared chips. The cod was delicious-fresh & not fishy at all. The batter was as excellent as it gets--crispy yet fluffy. My husband's haddock wasn't quite my cup of tea but he really loved it. The chips were good too, yes, proper chips, not French fries. The place was very small so we needed to share the space & the condiments (Of course, the vinegar & ketchup) but it wasn't an issue at all. The guy with the eyeglasses behind the counter was nice & funny too. The only question was about the tartar sauce. It said "$8" on the menu but we might've been able to have a little bit for free. We weren't sure of it so next time we'll definitely ask. Also, we needed salt for the Fish & chips (it was probably just our personal taste, though). Those are the reasons I gave 4 stars instead of 5 but we'll definitely be back soon. Thanks!

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!

FOOD STELLAR! Gordon Ramsey, with all due respect, THIS PLACE is superior to your fish and chips spot on 42nd street. Service good its a casual place to eat. I always get the Haddock and chips. The Crust is crispy and flaky NOT OILY. The fish (one piece) is thick and filling, guarantee you will feel satisfied and fulfilled after eating here. P.S. Try to get there before 7pm if you want to dine in, They want to go home too after making fish and chips all day, its a boutique (small) establishment.

An authentic feeling UK chippy, we had the cod with curry sauce, it was just ok, I mean it was decent, we did come in late at 8pm & felt like we were getting the last of the day bits & pieces - a few more high top tables would go far in there, it was raining & we ate in, the staff was sweet & quick to respond, my wife's English & she enjoyed it, so we will go back, it definitely can feed a craving for Fish&Chips

For $12? Sure, once in a while. For $18? Absolutely not, there are many better options. For $28.50? This is bloody awful. Watery, bland, obviously-frozen cod with breading that didn't conform to the meat at all. Would prefer Gordon Ramsay's Fish & Chips, or Oscar's Place in the West Village, which doesn't try to pull off the crazy up-charge of separating the fish from the chips. Cashier was friendly and the tartare sauce was divine. The price for an 8oz cod filet (post-breading, certainly), chips, and a water is lunacy.

If you're craving top notch fish and chips, this is the place to go! The batter is light, crispy, and golden brown, none of that greasy, soggy stuff you get at lesser spots. The fish inside is flaky and fresh, and the chips were cooked with just the right amount of crunch. The portions are generous, and they offer great dipping sauces (highly recommend tartar sauce). Service was friendly and quick, even during the busy lunch rush. The atmosphere is cozy and casual with some outdoor seating as well.

Great quick fish and chips. I tried the cod and would get it again. For $18 (a super large size that will also be lunch the following day), it's a steal in the neighborhood. The crust was crunchy but not overly thick. I preferred the taste with malt vinegar vs the more traditional tartar.

It been a while, and they still make one of the better fish and chips, freshly made with their in house tartar sauce. The staff very friendly and courteous. The establishment is tight for seating, however if the weather is nice you can have your meal outside.

Tiny fish & chips shop with very limited seating (few stools inside and 2 benches outside). The inside is pretty simple and the menu is easy to navigate. My go to is the fish and shrimp combo or the cod; definitely get a side of chips. There's tartar sauce, ketchup, salt and vinegar available but I always get the curry sauce as well - it's great for dipping! Service is quick and efficient. There's no tap water, you can buy bottled water or bring your own. Overall classic fish and chips with consistent quality that hits the spot. Just wish there was more room for seating!

I love a good fish and chips and this one I recommend trying this one out by yourself or with a friend. When I arrived it was quiet and with two other customers finishing up their meal. But after placing my order it got busy and lively with all the seats getting taken. So it can instantly shift from a slow pace to a busy one. Do be mindful that it takes time for your order to be made since I heard the fryer going on the multiple orders placed. My order was the regular sized Cod and Chips. It was the ideal size because it was a quite filling for me. If you are hungry or want to share, get a large and some chips. Great location since it is a good walking distant to West 4th or The Meatpacking District. Great service with the cashier/server who brought my order to where I was seated. And overall, delicious fish and chips

Came on a Friday afternoon for a late afternoon bite. The space itself is small, maybe about six seats inside. It wasn't busy at the time, so I was able to dine in. Ordered regular sized fish bites and chips. The cashier told is the fish bites were cod. The fish was okay. The portion was huge though. I wasn't expecting to get four fish bites and for each of them to be around five-six inches. The fish itself was pretty good. It was tender. However, the batter wasn't crispy. The fish could've been fried better. The chips were good. The fries were really crispy, and again, the portion was huge. Easily split between two people and be a satisfying meal. For the area, the price wasn't bad. There's a credit card fee. I don't think there's a debit fee, but we paid in cash just in case.

I had a heinous fish and chips craving on May 6th so I stopped by A Salt & Battery. I mean it was not bad. And I didn't have diarrhea afterwards so that's a plus. But it was not the best fish and chips ever. I hope I can try more in the city and come back with a comparison bc Ireland is hard for anyone in NY to beat, but I wouldn't not recommend it. I was honestly just grateful there was a shop and it was in West Village. 5.5/10

Small place but the food is fresh, hot, and delicious. The cod was fried to perfection and was so flaky. We doused our fish and chips in vinegar and we were obsessed. We also got to try their mushy peas. We've never had peas like that before and it was an interesting texture, almost aldente? Not bad by any means, it was just new/different to us. We were able to snag some seats inside and they brought our food out to us, which was nice. Overall we love this place (and its name lol) and cannot wait to return to try their other fishes!

I've been here before and it was really good. I came today and it was tasteless, mushy and beyond bland. Like eating wet cardboard. Not to mention they wrapped my order while scorching hot and so tightly that within seconds it was just mush. No salt. No lemon. Just tasteless mush for 20 dollars which I feel was a totally waste of money. Even the batter.....entirely devoid of flavor. I am so disappointed. ​​​

British food isn't something we seek out, but for real fish & chips, we'll make an exception. Small shop with counter seating, offering made to order fish & chips. We opted for haddock and cod. Both were perfectly cooked and served tongue blistering hot. Shared a large chip and small mushy peas. Authentically British, so food needed a few shakes of salt. Their in house tartar sauce isn't grandma's mayo & sweet pickle goop. A Salt's tartar sauce almost had Mexican crema base to it. I don't do tartar sauce, but their's was a pleasant surprise. NYU college kid working the counter was friendly and efficient. Greeted us and chatted briefly, checked on us often.

The place is a quaint little shop with a few seats to dine in. Loved the chips, they were exactly like fish n chip shops growing up. I found the batter on the fish a bit heavy. Friendly service.

I was looking for a fish spot... this wasn't it. Not to take away from the spot. It serves its purpose, I was just disappointed in what I got. It was just full of fried batter and i wasn't digging that at all. No real flavor with anything, just deep fried battered seafood. Like I said, not to away anything away from them, I'm just not digging this at all. Staff were really cool and serving, I like that about the place.

More like Assault & Battery on my tastebuds. Despite having bad teeth, I'm not British so I'm not exactly an authority in Fish n Chips, but last I checked the breading on the fish is supposed to be crispy, not chewy; the chips should be crispy, not soggy. The only half-save was the excellent tartar sauce. Hard meh!

Yelp
Not sure if some of the other people ate the same things I did, but the fish and chips here are legit. The fish was perfectly fried - not chewy or soggy as some have said. Maybe they came on an off day. We ordered: large cod - extremely tender and breaks apart easily large haddock - meatier than the cod, but still very tender curry sauce - yes $5 for curry sauce is insane, but it goes so well with the chips and the fish, I'd recommend getting it! mushy peas - it's good to try for the first time, but it's nothing out of the this world chips - okay, I like that they are not overly fried, and they give you a ton, but it's pretty standard

Located right next to where we were staying at a friend's house. The space is small inside, maybe enough to seat 4-5 people but the food was very good. We shared fish + chips + mushy peas and definitely enjoyed it. Price: - Chips ($6): it was A LOT of fries lol, we couldn't even finish them - Homemade mushy peas ($4.50): soooo good. The flavors were great and complimented the fish well - Large haddock 8 oz ($14.95): fried as one giant piece. The tartar sauce with it was also good. The fish is moist and crispy on the outside, comes out piping hot!

I had my fair share of decadent fish 'n' chips when I lived in London. The Fish Bits here were fine but not memorable. No seasoning in the batter, so you're relying on pure tartar Points to "A Salt..." for the English-only staff. Minus 1,000 points to Slytherin for frying these in a fan-less, A/C-less, grease-filled room that I can only imagine is the 11th circle of hell. How anyone could dine in here in the summer is beyond me. Plus 500 points to Hufflepuff for the owner giving us extra "Bits", just cuz.

I tried this place out today after seeing it on Youtube and got to say it hits the spot on a cold winter day. Its a small place but that's NYC real estate for you. The food was excellent and was reasonably priced i spent about $22. The service was good and the staff friendly. This is defiantly one of my favorite spots in the city. The whiting with Tarter sauce was great. will try the cod next time i am over there.

A fish and chips joint in Manhattan? Say it ain't so! I really wanted to like this. I really did. Friendly staff, a unique concept, great location, nice portions (more on that in a bit), how can I criticize this? Right, I can. And I will. While I think the food is decent here, it could be so much better if they follow my rules. -Serve the meal on old newspaper. Authentic fish and chips are served on newspaper and not on parchment paper. -Offer samples of mushy peas. Most Americans do not know what these are, and might be disgusted by the concept. But by the strength of John Bull, they are good. -With that, serve it with the fish. It is a must. The most authentic fish and chips joints do that, even if you charge me more, I will pay it. -Chips should not be a separate price. I should have it all. -Sauces should be free. I was scared to ask for extra tartar sauce (excellent by the way), because I knew I would be charged for it. -Offer me more fish. I will gladly pay more for an extra fillet or two, especially since the fish is good. The fish they serve it with is the *right* fish. No tilapia here! -The batter is good, but it needs more of a crisp factor. It is so close to being great, but it falls short. If they followed any of these simple practices, you are looking at a 4 or even a 5 star review. The fact that Brits were coming here and eating the food shows they have the idea down. Now they just have to apply themselves and make it better.

l orders cod fish and chips to go which cost almost $20. l was terribly disappointed in the fish and the chips. The batter was not good and fir $7 many of the fries was small small and recooked too many times. Granted l have been in a few years but the quality of the food preparation has fallen. l can not recommend it. l shall not return again. David Lopez

Stopped by here for "an appetizer" while we waited for a table at the place next door. And I'm so glad I did! The guy behind the counter was very friendly and helpful and the place was clean with a couple of seats to eat there. We got the fish and shrimp combo with chips. The fish was very flaky and the batter tasty. Although I'm not a fan of fries, these were one of the better ones I've had. We got the order to go and got plenty of salt, ketchup, vinegar, and 2 packs of tartar sauce. The tartar was so good I wished we asked for more. The 2 was not enough, well for me anyways hah.

You can get fish and chips as arranged by way of a combo on the menu or, heads up, if you just order one of the fish options, it doesn't come with chips; they're extra. That said, you get a TON of fish in an order. We went with the Fish Combo, which is fried shrimp and haddock combined (a large order) with a side of chips. We split it between two of us, barely, but really could've split it among 3 people comfortably. It's a boatload of fish. The shrimp were anything but shrimpy; mammoth in their own right. The chips were piled high in a basket and they too, were plentiful. Tying it all together was the dipping sauce, which was sort of a cross between tartar sauce, dill ranch and jalapeño cream. Pretty amazing stuff. All was super fresh, not overly oily and cooked perfectly. Friendly service and ample outdoor seating with a few indoor stools available as well.

If you're into classic fish & chips, this spot is a hitter. We had the fish 'n chips, the chicken chunks, and the pineapple fritter. All were on point and fully satisfying for our group of 4. Richard was behind the counter delivering not only some stellar service with a warm and sincere smile, but he also provided his personally curated playlist which was packed with eclectic classics. Oh ya, it was a rainy day, so that made the whole English vibe even more dialed up. We stopped by their shop next door to get some loose leaf tea and crackers. Heading home to enjoy those now. Cheers!

It's the same as English fish and chips. I'm Irish, my parents owned multiple fish and chip shops in Ireland so I know a good F&C! They use oil and lard, its the best - probably 80/20, not greasy! I did not get the chips - I got a serving of battered fish, fabulous and they have proper chip shop vinegar (Chip mate vinegar is better but whatever). The curry sauce is mcdonnells - iykyk. 10/10 Pricy would be the only downfall. Worth it though ever once in a while! They don't do sit in but it's a takeaway so obviously - only writing this for other ppl reading this, don't be surprised. It's a takeaway! They have high stools inside but it's always busy so don't bank on getting a seat.

I love fish and chips. After watching a few You Tube reviews I had high hopes for this place. They were soundly dashed. While the actual cod was OK, the coating was overcooked and flavorless. Chips were meh. I binned half my food. Disappointed is the name of their fish and chips game. Bummer!

The fish was good, but I gotta tell you the portions small I know half a dozen restaurants in New York City where $19 you can get a proper fish and chips a nice beautiful portion of flaky fish with malt vinegar and truffle fries I mean I get it. You're charging nine dollars but it's a small piece of fish. I'd rather pay twice as much for a nice fish and chips

I saw this place on The Best Thing I ever ate and so had to try. The fish and chips with regular cod was not the best thing J ever ate. It was not crispy enough. It is served hot but overall nothing memorable. Not bad but not the best I have had. If you add vinegar it was much better. No frills spot so it fits the traditional fish and chip shops. The portion size was good as well. 3.5 stars.

Delicious fish and chips. Five stars, best I've had in NYC. The tarter sauce was perfect. It wasn't a tasteless mayonnaise that I've had at other places. The to go package was nicely put together. They didn't put napkins in though. They also didn't say pack it in inky newspaper. Instead they used a white paper that gave the same authentic feel. Despite me giving it 5 stars, I agree with other reviews on some points. I would prefer the sauces didn't cost extra. I also would prefer if the fish and chips didn't have an extra separate charge to get the chips. The batter was good. But it could be crispier. I'd come back and do the exact same thing. There was no outdoor seating.

"A Salt and Battery" real clever name, just had to stop by. Never had fish and chips before so the experience was new to me just like my playthrough with Everspace 2. I was greeted by a handsome man whom was very polite and spoke with a British accent. I never knew they were this far west. I got the lunch special which consists of cod and chips and a Tango orange. The fish was very substantial and batter crispy. Tango orange was an interesting drink, similar to Fanta. Overall the food was great so were the staff. It made me realize the kids across the pond aren't so different after all.

I should have posted this over 2 years ago. Not sure how I forgot to press "Post Review" I hope this establishment improved since the pandemic. The washed out sign should have been a hint. $50.00 for Fish and Chips for 3 people. 3 pieces of fish and a few soggy bits of potato under each persons 1 piece of fish. The chips were not chips at all but a few meager slithers of soggy potatoes. Not at all the British Chips that normally accompany an order of fish and chips. We weren't even told that we would be charged separately for our soggy slithers of potato. Since when do you charge separately for chips? What a rip off. I think someone needs to travel back across the pond to the East End and take a refresher course on making proper Chips. The fresh taste, texture, and consistency of the batter were excellent but my review went down to one star for being accompanied by soggy slithers of potato. They potatoes weren't the hand cut wedges I know as "Chips". When do you charge a person close to $13.00 for one piece of fish without the chips, you should have given at least 2 pieces of fish for the nearly $13.00 single piece of fish. Then you charged each of us $5.00 each for the soggy potatoes. This is not how it's done in England! My immigrated British family drove over 200 miles in the U.S., East Coast for a taste of your soggy Fish and Chips, at my suggestion! I'm embarrassed for mentioning this place to my family! Feeling disappointed, embarrassed (for suggesting this place) ripped off!!! Did we just pay for the zip code of the establishment?

Tiny shop that you easily miss. Big pieces of fish. The fish batter is very bread-y and dough-y. Not bad but a little thick. Can't really taste the difference between the fishes. The chips are fair. Can never go wrong with extra tartar sauce.

Do not trust this establishment I paid here took a photo of the signed receipt and kept a copy for myself yet they submitted a far higher tip - Be warned check your credit card bills very carefully. Also they have plenty of rules here not done by the staff but the owners supposedly. Anyhow avoid this place at all costs and the bangers and mash tasted pretty disgusting and I felt sick afterwards. The default tips they put on there are 30%, 25% and the lowest 20%. With the service this place is at best 15% I wrote in the amount and marked the total also. They chose to steal and make their own version of what my tip was - my bank has been notified with a copy of the receipt. I always make it a point to keep a copy in case establishments try to defraud you - this establishment does - avoid them - it's fraud. Frankly it's theft. And I want to make sure they are called out on this.

I just spent $25 on large fish bites and chips, got home all the way to Harlem and found the fish smells of ammonia!! This is not only disappointing but disgustingly do. Had to bin the whole lot. If I could deduct all the stars I would. Never again.

I have loved this place since I moved to VYC. And even after I left, I still find an excuse to visit when I am in state. Great food and ambience.

Ordered from this place today in person not over the phone or online, ordered 2 battered bangers 2 fish and 2 chips and curry sauce, it came to $58, crazy price but that's not even the worst part I don't mind paying that money once I actually get my full order, they forgot both my fish, 1 order of chips and the curry sauce which was $6 alone, FOR A SIDE OF SAUCE. They literally left out half my order, either due to incompetence, stupidity or not caring. avoid at all costs.
