In any event, there are two great options in NY - A Salt and Battery in Greenwich Village and The Chipshop in Park Slope, Brooklyn. Both offer classic fish & chips - battered haddock is my favorite, and deliciously plump chips.
To be honest I think both are very comparable which is why I wanted to mention them here - for me I just think it's great one is located in Manhattan and one is in Brooklyn - more the merrier for everyone!
A Salt and Battery is a tiny shop - not much seating, save for few precious counter seats or if you are lucky and score the bench outside.Next door to its sibling Tea & Sympathy, A Salt and Battery serves up fried haddock, sole, cod and scallops and shrimps too.
While I love scallops and fried shrimp - in my opinion its the haddock that gets me good. Perfectly light and flaky paired with the homemade tartar sauce - mmm.
Don't be afraid of the oil marks it leaves behind - I mean what do you expect from fish & chips?
For dessert - gotta try to deep fried mars bar right? Well, maybe share it with a friend...it's quite rich and maybe too much of a good thing can be bad...yep.
Here I would also go for the fried haddock or cod and chips - I mean that is why you are going right?
Oh, never mind - maybe you are going for the fried macaroni and cheese!
That's why I keep coming back. Imagine your childhood favorite mac'n'cheese - deep fried! Deliciously decadent...so bad yet so good. Maybe limit it to once a quarter. For dessert if you are still going - do the fried twinkie. You won't be sorry. Indestructible!
