Profile

The folks from Tea & Sympathy have expanded their British empire with a fish-and-chips shop that literally reeks of authenticity. 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. — Rob Patronite and Robin Raisfeld

Recommended Dishes

Fish combo, $11.99; mushy peas, $3; pickled onion, $3; English baked beans, $3.25; deep-fried Mars bar, $3.25

The Best Fish and Chips

I first heard of A Salt & Battery on Bobby Flay's show, Throwdown. Their fish and chips are authentic and utterly fantastic. The crust of the fish is thin and crunchy, not thick and soggy like most. The homemade tartar sauce is the perfect accompaniment and the best that I've ever had. The chips are good too, not mushy or soggy, but perfectly cooked with a nice texture. This place has a lot of personality. Just as a heads up, there's not a lot of seating.

Not in our name.....

As an ex-pat, desperatly missing his Fish and Chips, we undertook the journey to A Salt and Battery after checking out the website. Instead of the bright shop front and sprightly looking interior which we saw on the website. We were greeted by a dark, dingy little place, which looked more at home in London during the blitz. However we ordered Fish and Chips x 4 plus 1 sausage, and had a wait of nearly 30 minutes, despite the shop being empty when the order was placed. Indeed when we finally received our food, the place was packed with diners all waiting for their orders such was the backlog. The fare itself was ok, the fish was good, however the chips tasted like they had been left out all night and just re-heated in oil. The sausage was nice but at nearly $6 a pop it should be. As a customer I felt disappointed and although I may go back in the future, I would not recommend taking a special trip there at this point in time.
