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......

You know it's bad when the silver fox shakes his head and mutters 'the batter, it's not good, Lee'.

$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.👍🏻

Whitby today announced celebrations after moving into second place in the worlds worst Fish N Chips rankings!

Looked like a fish supper i had in a Blackpool amusements arcade once...made me sick for 3 days and i am not lying when i say i could have squirted through the eye of a needle! seeing yours actually brought back the memories and made me feel ill again. Hope you're enjoying yourself ;-)

So far, I’ve seen nothing in your vlogs to make me want to go to New York

New exchange rate..tizer 55p converts to 3 dollars 😳

Oil not hot enough!!!! But enjoying all these New York street scenes with Uncle Mac!

Your reviews are getting better and better…proof practice makes perfect

Cheers , saves me a visit , keep up,the great work

Prices for EVERYTHING in NYC are an absolute liberty Statue of liberty would be proud

Nice One Guys . "Great Vlog " .Thanks For The Heads Up

I was in Woodhall Spa some years ago, great spot and the fish and chips were good.

55p on the can but sold for 3 dollars? Something feels wrong

What’s your favourite curry sauce? Mines the bachelors one with fruit bits in it

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

Fish & chips aside, plastic forks & knives and polystyrene containers tell me all I need to know. Clueless. Forget A Salt and Battery; it's more like GBH!

You just pissed on the owners chips 😂😂😂😂 his food is shite!!

Manky soggy batter, no thank you 🤮

I laughed at your mates face when he was trying to eat that disgusting looking Fish. Seriously 😐 Lee, I have NEVER EVER seen Fish looking so proper RANK. Five and a half dollars 💵 for Curry sauce, what’s that all about. The most you would pay in the UK 🇬🇧 is around a pound. You guys need some well deserved luck, at your next destination. Dave

I wish you would put a link on where The Silver Fox got his Stones t-shirt. That is awesome!

Martin’s face at 11.50 said it all. What an absolute rip off price for crap food!

If you want proper fish and chips get yourself to the Anstruther fish bar in the East Neuk of Fife... Best you'll find anywhere.

Looked like the dreaded "Frozen FORMED fish pieces" from supermarkets, and even the batter looked like the fake batter stuff they're coated in. That was absolutely shocking.

Hi Mac. Any chance in the next video could you explain how tipping works in America? And do you HAVE to tip? That Chip Shop and bad diner did not look like they deserved a tip at all lol

Really appreciate the videos, chaps, thanks for sure. Just that usually more than half the video is over before you have a bite. Funny and entertaining but too long. All the best.

Hi there I am for West Midlands and I have haddock for my fish and chips some of my family don’t like either they have cod instead but I prefer haddock I don’t like mushy peas much but I like curry sauce but no gravy on mine I know some people love gravy on the fish and chips but I don’t👌

Bloody gravy in fish should be an instant death penalty or life in the tower of London giving tours to tourists.

As an American who's lived abroad and LOVES fish and chips i want y'all to know we all don't think this shit is good. Watching this i was like, "wtf" lol greasy and pale, bland looking batter. Flat too. Just saying, lol don't think all us Yanks are clueless to good food! Keep up the good work too! Love your channel. Much love from North Carolina 🤗

Also ,, what did they use for batter ?? looks like it might have been left over pancake batter ??

...and the thick end of £40...!!! You are kidding me, Are you sure the fish was not frozen as well pfft

Much better to get stuck into New York's diverse food offering, rather than weeing into the wind with stuff that's more than likely going to disappoint..?

Hi. We went to Withernsea for a week 7 years ago. Asked for Cod and chips. Told they don't do Cod. I think we had Haddock. Went to Scarborough a couple of days later, and had Cod and chips in a restaurant 🙂

Oooh that’s embarrassing for the chippie! Batter, shocking!!!!!! 🧐

I like the fact that they are selling Poppies for Remembrance.

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.

Absolutely grim when your fish dribbled onto your plate 😱 "I'm going to quickly eat this and mark it outside" was clearly code for 'this is piss poor' 😂

Speaking as a Yorkshireman it’s cod every time! That fish looked horrible.🤮

You guys deserve a medal for trying that the fish looked scary 👻💀👻 something tells me you wouldn’t be rushing back 😵‍💫

Alright Maclad, what kind of hairdryer did they cook that fish with?

Deary goodness! What a minging plate of (so called English) fish n chips 😬 Martin’s face when he saw the batter made me laugh! I’m bothered about what the Americans think that we would like that! The man from Bedford needs to come back home for a bit as I think he’s lost the plot lol. I’m going for a big fat zero!!! Another great vlog xx

£5 for curry sauces mate that a rip off

Cod almighty!! That looked well undercooked and a soggy mess!! Always thought Yarrkshire is the Mecca for fish n chip aficionados and usually it’s Haddock n chips over there that’s the best!! Good to see the ups n downs of eating in the big apple and loving the funny outtakes at the end!! Keep it up guys!!

Went there many years ago not that long after it opened and it was very good....what happened?

Badly Drawn Boy (UK recording artist) did a small tour of UK and every evening meal was takeaway fish and chips. They asked him (on morning TV prog) where was best. He recommended The Magnet, in Bristol, SW UK.

50 Bucks for battered fish what the.. how much is it, if we just kicked in the balls ?

That’s looks well Pony 😂😂😂 , love my fish n chips but that’s a disgrace .

It makes a difference how hungry you are. I noted you wanted to share before entering. The chips and peas looked nice. Its not only over there you get sloppy batter. Ive had it in uk. Had a Chinese takeaway recently and ordered a pineapple fritter . The batter slid off it !

Wtf that looked disgusting , no frozen fish in fish and chips and soggy batter disgusting When I went to New York they all raved on about biscuits and gravy (which is like a scone in some disgusting white sauce) absolutely horrible, We have the best grub in the UK , Good video 👍 stay safe

Lee I was thinking why don't you go to the diner where the cast of the sopranos used to eat,I remember you saying you used to see them there x

These dishes are ironically a form of ASSAULT AND BATTERY.

The batter on the fish looked awful. Great vlog guys!

Gosh the batter definitely failed" the crisp test" .Hopefully you will find some better dining options soon. I am looking forward to a special blog of Martin's Bloopers🤣🤣🤣

Has it changed owners? It was pretty good about 8 years ago when I ate there/

Oil not hot enough? Not a 9.5 for this one. Soggy batter kills it 3/10

Makes me want to go to the Kingfisher in Keswick. Or out to my local fish and chip shop in Sidney, BC where you can sit outside on the pier and eat freshly caught fish and chips and have a cup of tea and a toke (sativa or indica usually) :)

The batter looked pale and undercooked and the fish was not plump enough. Maybe it had been in the freezer too long. Yorkshire Lass.

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....

51 dollars and you shared chips!? Wtf lol get that for 15 quid in England mental

Scotland has haddock Lee as you know, rare to find cod fish supper only seen at Anstruther. Can't get cheese and onion fryit either. When I lived in Whitby was mainly cod on menu as preferred by locals. Haddock to order.

almost cheaper to get on a plane and come to UK to buy it. That was so expensive

Having a beer with me nephew on my birthday watching ya videos top night Mac .

Food in America are prepared differently, so don't expect anything that is prepared in another country to even resemble it.

i dunno i'm from wakefield and everyones goto is cod.

The Spuds n Fish must be imported from UK at that price? Soon as you cut into the fish the batter looked a bit rubbery

Ahaha making me laugh again.. adult n battery hahaha... omg.. life's banquet, don't starve ohh how ironic.. All serious tho that was NOT English fish n chips.. How can a English man cook that! Nooooo haha. Looking forward to next video guys. Better luck next time 😆

Agree!! Fish n chips in USA is awful!!!! I dont even eat it

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

Oh no fish looked frozen no crispy batter. They deffo assaulted that fish and chips 🍟🤣🤣🤣

Never been new york and from what I've seen so far while you've been there I would struggle to eat most of that food there, its not cheap either so be a no no for me to go new york, alot of noise and busy lol

Question for you Lee. What's was the hardest. Keeping the fish and chips down or keeping the scores down. Lol. Being an expat from Yorkshire does Martin remember the saying. Yorkshire men are so tight they can peel oranges in their pockets. Will definitely avoid being battered by this fish and chip shop. It doesnt seem like my "plaice"

Lee, you're gaining 100 subs a day!. USA Series is/was an inspired decision. I can see you returning early 2022,.... hope so! God Bless and keep up the great work.

That was so disgusting! Chips were scraps and that uncooked batter inside the fish made me baulk.

I used to live within walking distance of this place and I never rated it. The english grocery shop was good but on my last visit there that too seemed poorer. I think that the shop was the centre piece of the three establishments and now, through the large internet providers, its not difficult to get english stuff anymore in the US. That and rising rents must have made it difficult for them. As for pub fish and chips its a completely different style to UK fish and chip shops.

That looked like a bigger and more expensive version of something you'd buy from Farmfoods or Iceland Presumably if you hadn't been doing a Vlog it'd gone straight back. Maybe the Whitby one wasn't that bad after all!😄

It's getting harder to find decent fish & chips in Britain. Let alone the United States. No that did not look appetising. Even Captain Birdseye frozen cod looks better what that did.

I would love to do that one day. I am English and a perfectionist when it comes to "Fish and Chips" like all the rest on here i suppose. I could imagine Canadian Fish and Chips being pretty damn good with cold atlantic fresh fish on your doorstep. I have never been over the pond, the closest i came to that was Sears offered me a job 20 years ago as i was in a unique position at the time being and the only DBA for 2 specific systems, and they were using 1 and being sold the other. I was used as a reference. I always wondered how that would have panned out. If i ever head over the pond Canada will be my port of call, not the USA.

Gruesome looking that was, and the price for it! Cheers Lee, onwards.

That fish looked tragic. I thought the batter I had in the Lake District was bad, but this takes the ✅

Hello, Chris & Martin $51.00 for Fish and Chips 🤣🤣🤣Even the Batter on the Fish Looked Awful.💩😒👎 I will Score it a 1/10 😢 😥 😪 😓 😭👍

Scarborough North Bay Fisheries best ever from a true chippy connoisseur.

Oh dear..!! They looked awful. I am a Yorkshire lass living in Sydney and I crave good fish and chips. I will have to look for a vlog in a Yorkshire chippy now, I expect you have done some.. 😄

If they were imported it would make sense but IDK where they got them from.

40+ dollars seems a bit steep. Got to agree though, had some amazing fish and chips in leeds market hall (the fisherman's wife), for under £10.
