Share the fish & shrimp combo with chips with your date and split the fried Mars Bar to finish. Wash it all down with a Samuel Smiths Oatmeal Stout.

Attempt the challenge: 1 pound fish, 1½ pounds chips, 2 sauces tartar, a chip butty (it’s a sandwich of fries), mushy peas, and a coke. Finish in 15 minutes: eternal fame and it’s free. Fail: $35.

The seafood is wonderfully fresh, with a selection that runs to whiting, halibut, cod, cod roe, squid, scallops, and;our fave;rock salmon. Read more

Winner of Best Fish and Chips in the Village Voice 2011 Best Of issue! Get the mushy peas as a side - far more delicious than the name would suggest.

Fish and tips: haddock's always fresh. Never leave without eating a fried Mars Bar! Don't forget a visit to Tea and Sympathy to complete the British diaspora experience.
Robert AccetturaApril 30, 2015
Very authentic. The fish is freshly fried and awesome. Batter is slightly on the blander side, but still good. Chips were a little soft/soggy than what you'd find in most of the U.S.

Britannia Rules! This addition to the Tea & Sympathy empire is a replica fish-and-chips shop that strives for perfection in every detail, even wrapping the product in English newspapers. Read more

Not only are the fish and chips top notch, this is one of only a few places in USA where you can find Lucozade, Irn Bru, and deep fried Mars Bars!

Get the fish & shrimp combo with chips. Enjoy your meal with a deep fried Mars bar!
Christina LouiseAugust 3, 2020
A definite must if you’re British! Imported condiments. Check out the grocery store too for British things you miss!
Martin S.January 14, 2015
Authentic fish and chips spot. The fish could use a little seasoning, the tartar sauce is finger-licking good. There is also a wide variety British beverages.
Soo KimAugust 16, 2014
This British restaurant has the best fish & chips in the city! Must get the haddock + chips! During the summer, enjoy your food outside on their bench out front.
Brittany GoodwynAugust 16, 2014
This was definitely a traditional English fish and chips place. The fried shrimp are good and very large.
Jacob FordMay 9, 2018
The larges are QUITE large (2 fishes). You probably want medium, hungry boy. If it’s lunchtime you want the lunch special. Lunchtime is 11:30am to 3:00pm.

Best place for fish and chips in NYC. Only missing newspaper but that’s ok. The fish and batter are great.
Andrew OstranderAugust 25, 2013
If you go with 2-3 ppl just get one order of fries. They are MASSIVE and the fish fills you up big time so you just eat a few chips anyway.
Ann LemonJuly 3, 2013
The fish is top notch. Battered after you order. Fried in vegetable oil. Piping hot with no detectable salt added. Best tartar sauce I've ever tasted.
The Corcoran GroupJuly 19, 2013
Come here for the best, most authentic fish & chips around, and be sure to dip them in lots and lots of tartar sauce.
John TeoMarch 26, 2013
They serve tartare sauce with their fish - a travesty! But the guy at the counter had a cockney accent so extra points for authenticity.

Nicky Perry’s popular fish-and-chips spot combines surprises such as deep-fried Cadbury creme eggs with more traditional fresh-from-the oven chicken and mushroom pies.
C FJanuary 14, 2018
Haddock and scallops tasted great. Also sells this British lemonade that is super refreshing
Emiliano ViscarraNovember 19, 2014
If you like fish and chips this place is perfect. Served super hot and with a huge amount of fries.

I have to look at this place every time I walk out of the gym. Delicious, crispy greasy fish and chips after a workout. Ain't nothin better.
CherylJuly 28, 2012
Really good, authentic English fish & chips. I was with a Brit & she said so. Service was slow but friendly . (3 of 4 petals via Fondu) Read more

4oz cod. Single chips. Smother in malt vinegar and a lil extra salt. Enjoy! So good on a frozen day.
Serious EatsJuly 16, 2013
New York's top fish and chip shop.
Justin OrdovezaNovember 15, 2014
Great fish and chips. Be warned the line can be long sometimes.
natalie kayOctober 15, 2017
Cod is perfect. Regular is enough for one and split fries!
Andrew FurmanJuly 2, 2015
Amazing fish and chips. I went with the cod and have no regrets.
Marco KMarch 28, 2012
Don't forget to order a small tub of batter scraps with your meal. A real taste of home. Yum!
Greg TaggartAugust 6, 2014
Best fish & chips I've ever had. Never hurts to have an awesome name too!

Try the Haddock And Chips - Great chips on top of even better haddock. Works well with a Boddingtons.

Come for the fluffily fried fish, stay for the quaint pan-British accents of the staff.

Fish bites are the best thing on the menu... oh, and ask for lots of tartar sauce.
Sam SaundersDecember 15, 2012
The shrimp is the sleeper on this menu. Plump, plentiful and delicious.

Try the Haddock And Chips - Perfect. And I grabbed a seat tonight.
Sean SmithFebruary 18, 2016
Fish and chips as they should be. Deceptively filling.
Leitha MatzFebruary 25, 2013
The Guinness is an excellent pairing. Lovely pies as well.
Jessica PerryJune 3, 2011
David B. said it below, but it bears repeating: DEEP FRIED MARS BAR WITH A PINCH OF SALT. It's good alone, but the salt transcends it into something truly extraordinary. A must-try.
DOctober 19, 2013
Good for New York standards but average if you come from a place where fish & chips is common. They don't have fresh lemons either.
