    The shape of the fish gave it away....It looks like the "frozen portion" shaped cod from a supermarket freezer, you know the ones. It certainly does not look like the side fillet of a piece of cod. Elementary my dear Dr Watson......

    $51.26.....as a Yorkshire man I fell off my chair at those prices.😳😳😳😳 and yes the fish was undercooked you could see how runny it was. Get back to Murgatroyds.👍🏻

    Guys, I'm an Expat from Bradford, and YES, Haddock is king. I live just outside Philadelphia and have visited a salt and battery many times, after seeing your visit and what you were served upset me. I contacted the owner over email, linked your review. He was shocked, told me the 2 people are new and left out ingredients in the batter. I told him you are still in New York, maybe he will reach out to give you a second review. It's a difficult time for all restaurants, service establishment s with COVID etc. Would be great to see if you get chance for another review. Cheers, Nick

    September 2019 we were in New York for our wedding anniversary. Went to Macy's for lunch. It was expensive as expected. Great service, nice surroundings and proper crockery and cutlery. Lovely waitress. With the tip, $65 for two meals. Fish, chips, peas, coffees. As good as you get here. About £25 each. Huge portions, if we had known we could have bought one between two.
    Incidentally, for best value in daytime head to the low level at Grand Central Station. There are numerous food outlets, freshly cooked and it's all good. Get there and order before noon whilst it's quiet because it soon gets chocker with office workers.

    That's a real shame I went to Salt & Battery in 2012 and it blew my socks off it was so good, The guy was from Blackburn really knew his stuff . I wonder if the owners have changed used to be a lady from Hackney she owned the tea rooms and grocery store next door as well

    It makes a difference how hungry you are. I noted you wanted to share before entering.

    Had a Chinese takeaway recently and ordered a pineapple fritter . The batter slid off it !

    Hey andother great video by the MacMaster, It is a shame that a place you go to for years is a good place to go and has good memories for that person then to find out it has changed hands and the service and food had gone down hill that much that is that the food is that bad you are unable to eat it, But like I said before its good to review places as they change and also educates others to go or not. Like you get the owners to talk at good food places it be also good if you spoken to the plces that have gone down hill to see if you can tell them about their food and to see how to inprove things rather than just keep serving bad food and service, this would help business that arnt aware of their business being bad. I would like to thank both of you and please keep safe....

    Hey Lee!
    Was watching channel “UA Eats”
    He does the food rating as well
    He went to “A Salt and Battery” the same place you went with the Silver Fox.
    His video was today
    UA rated the food pretty good
    But, we all know you’re the “expert for “Fish and Chips.
    So, I can’t go by UA Eats since you didn’t rate it well.

    Prices are a joke, £3.70 for a battered mars bar, £4.45 for chips and £11 for a bit of cod. Best fish and chips from a chippy I had were in Whitby, though usually go for something regional like pudding in Lancs and Haggis in Scotland

  • @mrdavid9302
    @mrdavid9302 3 года назад

    What a rip off. Approx. £40-00. My local chip shop in the UK serves a giant portion of fish and chips for £5-50. There tag line is "The home of the jumbo cod" and it is big and very tasty.
    The shape of the fish did look like packet frozen fish from the supermarket and the curry sauce looked too brown.
    Mind you the "Rate my Takeaway" guy would have said those fish and chips were fantastic, 10 out of 10, as he says that about the food in every place he visits.
    It is so nice to see genuine food reviews on this channel. I do watch both each day. R.M.T. for the comedy value and The Macmaster for genuine food reviews.
