A Salt And Battery

Nothing else to say but...... Y U M. This is officially my favourite classic fish and chips joint, and I am very happy about it! The fish is perfectly battered and instantly melts in your mouth. Also love how you can opt for sweet potato fries! Can’t get enough will be back again and again and again

So, the menu in the photos on this website are old, fish prices have gone up by $3-5 depending on what you get, Barra was $12 which was a suuuuuper nice surprise to find when I picked up my order, would highly recommend picking up a menu flyer or taking your own photos, I may do so later on.<br/ <br/ If I paid the price that was listed? Absolute banger of a fish and chips place, no doubt. At $18 for a Barra and Chips? Eh. It isn’t your deeply flowered, almost pancake batter fish batter so you don’t feel like a piece of trash after half of the piece, but the chip serving, although good, was definitely too light for its price, I know we’re somewhat far away from the seaside here, but fish isn’t that expensive when you account for all the business expenses, and if you’re gonna charge that much, throw another handful of chips in there, ever if it’s just for moral support.<br/ <br/ I would visit again, but if I did It would be with a group of people to make it financially viable, and we’d all have to want fish and chips specifically, not just cheap food.<br/ <br/

I love coming here for the fried fish and chips! The batter is always crisp, the meet is never greasy, and the chips are battered making them the best in Brisbane. Everything is made fresh and food comes out of the kitchen pretty quickly. <br/ <br/ The tartare sauce isn’t the greatest, but that’s a small knock as everything else is spot on.

I have been to A Salt and Battery a few times, the atmosphere's relaxed, the service is good and always friendly and the food delicious. Just one tip I would give to future diners: ask to see the piece of fish that you are buying. Sometimes the portion sizes are tiny (especially if you order snapper apparently). I suspect they cut a good sized fillet into small, thin bits to make more money. They shouldn't have to at $23 for fish chips and salad.

Had Sunday lunch bere after seeing the high rating and tried the calamari chips salad meal for $16. Opted for the Greek salad which was super fresh and the calamari was great too, perfect sized meal at a good price.
