Fish & Chips Restaurants in Brooklyn, NY

“Service was fantastic - highly attentive to the smallest details. Great food - recommended 👍👍“

“I recently stumbled upon this restaurant while exploring the neighborhood, and after seeing its high ratings, I was eager to give it a try. Unfortunately, it was closed that day, but fate had other plans—on my second attempt, I found it open.
At first glance, the place didn’t seem overly impressive; it had the charm of a family business that’s still finding its footing. However, the moment we stepped inside, we were greeted by Chocolate, a lovely and attentive staff member who kept the place clean and welcoming.
Since they didn’t have soul food available that day, we decided to order the Basa with fries. Let me tell you, it was one of the best fried fish dishes I’ve ever had! The fish was incredibly fresh, with a perfectly crispy exterior and tender, soft inside. The seasoning was spot on, and the mild spicy pickled onions with carrots on the side were a fantastic touch—definitely a flavor explosion!
The fries were also quite good, but the star of the meal was undoubtedly the Basa. We ended up ordering the whiting fish as well, and it did not disappoint—just as excellent!
Overall, I’m glad I decided to give this place a shot. I’ll definitely be back, and I highly recommend you check it out. Don’t let the first impression fool you; this hidden gem is worth a visit!“

“the food is so good im writing my first restaurant review. that was actually the best fried shrimp ive ever had, found this place by accident and v grateful for it. they had sorrel that tasted like my granny made it so im definitely going back
(i do wish the fries were seasoned tho)“

“I used to pass here all the time saying I have to try this place out,, so one day iam passing and I said iam going in, I ordered the Whiting and chips, oh my it was soo good, and the guy at the window was so friendly, and professional, the fish was so delicious, and they give you damn near a whole bag of fries,, mind you, this was a year ago I've been there about three times then“

“Thank you. I needed this today.“

“The food was delicious, I can't wait to visit again. Keep up the great standard guys..One love!!!“

“I was visiting Brooklyn and needed food, I looked up fish on yelp. It was like ennie mennie minnie moe. I chose Soul of the Sea after I viewed the menu. I called first to see if they are open because a lot of businesses closed due to COVID-19. Someone answered immediately and did in fact confirm that they were open. I informed them that I was coming but. When I arrived I announced that I called and placed my order. The person that took my order was very kind, friendly, and courteous. His customer service was fantastic. I ordered the fish sandwich and asked what kind of fish was on the sandwich, he directed me to the menu and said, whiting, do you see it under section of fish sandwich. I did conquer. He told me the price and asked if that price was fine. I said yes and then ordered a carrot cake. His attitude compelled me to buy something as I was eager to support a mom and pop style restaurant. I told the person taking my order that I was passing through and needed to eat. He thanked me for stopping in. The interaction was wonderfully pleasant, the store clean and the staff was attentive. The person that came to the front of the business to sweep, greeted me and thanked me for stopping in. This is an A class, 5 star service restaurant when it comes to serving the customer. Enough about the interaction and now the food. The sandwich was proportioned with a decent amount that was not too filling. I'm used to pieces of fish that were too long for the bread. I am also very pleased that they gave me wheat bread instead of white. The carrot cake was surprisingly not too sweet as I didn't want nothing sweet sweet. Bravo guy's“

“Alright, let me tell you why I had to check out Baby’s vegan bucket. As someone who’s been vegan for over 17 years, I still get those pangs of nostalgia for the crunchy, savory bites of KFC or Popeyes I grew up with. Let’s face it, we all crave a taste of the past, and brands like Baby’s are genius for recreating those iconic food moments—only now, they’ve gone plant-based.

So, here’s the deal: I grabbed their famed “chicken” bucket. I’ll admit, the inclusion of sticky rice had me skeptical—sticky rice and fried “chicken”? It felt like a curveball I wasn’t ready for, especially since I couldn’t swap it for anything else. But hey, I’m all about stepping outside my comfort zone.

The verdict? The batter was crispy perfection. That satisfying crunch, combined with the juicy, umami-packed mushroom “chicken,” hit all the right notes. The French fries were… interesting. The seasoning was a little unconventional—let’s call it “unique.” But when I paired a bite of the fries with the mushroom and the fresh salad on the side, it all came together beautifully. And the sauce? Sweet, savory, and an unexpected star of the show. Pro tip: drizzle it generously over the bucket’s contents, mix it up, and boom—you’ve got a flavor explosion.

Now, let’s talk about the sticky rice. It wasn’t the worst pairing, but it felt a bit like the odd man out. Freshly microwaved sticky rice alongside fried delights just didn’t click for me. Would I skip it next time? Probably.

At the end of the day, this wasn’t just a nostalgic trip to fast food heaven; it was a fresh take on what comfort food can be in the vegan era. Baby’s vegan bucket was good enough to get me back in line for round two—sticky rice or not. Bravo, Baby’s. Keep reinventing the game!

This is a beautiful spot!!! The atmosphere is absolutely magical and has the most incredible view of the Manhattan skyline!!! The food and drinks were so delicious!!! This is a 10 out of 5!!! A must go to for all!!!“

“My wife and I stopped by to grab a quick bite since we were in the area. We were greeted by the host with open arms. Our intentions were to take the food home but the host was very friendly so we stayed for well over an hour. We even ordered food for the next day and it tasted as if it was just make. This is definitely a place to visit and enjoy some good food.“

“I ordered lobster roll. Delivery was fast. Roll was delicious!! I would certainly order again. Owner was friendly and polite Eat healthy! Eat fish!“

“Good day to you all ... I was in a few days ago and gotta say, we had a wonderful time with a well balance atmosphere, food, drinks and service. I believe our waitress was Jessica which she enhanced everything even more with her charm and caring self by going out of her way to make me a drink that fit my liking.. thank you all for such a great time... can wait to come back soon.“

“While strolling around Fulton Mall in Brooklyn, I happened upon this place. The line was nearly out the door so I anticipated that the food would be good or people in Brooklyn are just very hungry! People may be hungry, but the food was really good. I don’t trust everybody’s potato salad, but their potato salad was absolutely delicious. I didn’t give it five stars because I ordered fried whiting and many of the pieces that I received were just the skin, no real meat inside. But I would go back and try a different option.“

“We walked in for dinner without any inkling if the food would be authentic as is often the case with asian restaurants overseas.
We were wowed by the food. It is authentic, delicious, and so well put together.
This restaurant rivals even the best in Bangkok.“

“Food 🥘 was excellent , seasoned very well“

“Great place to watch football. Nondescript sports bar on the lower level of Seamore's in a great location across from Time Out Market. They play all the NFL games and have the sound on for the game on the large projector. The crowd is great, and The Hull team (Andrew!) is exceptional. We plan to come back for more football Sundays.“

“I found this gem of a restaurant 5 years ago. This is the ONLY place I go to for brown stew snapper. Mikey is a PHENOMENAL chef!!! If you don't live this side of Brooklyn, it's worth it to take a drive to get some of the absolute BEST food you will ever have ??. Blessings “

“I’ve been a customer at DUNCAN’S for many, many years. It used to be on the corner of Vanderbilt and Myrtle Avenues it was good then and it’s even better now.“

“I always walk past by this fast food joint. The halal sign made me intrigued to come in and try something different. I ordered hot wings and it tasted no different than any other place so don’t let that be a deterrent. It was salty, spicy and tasty. Would recommend it!“

“The Whiting fish with fries is my quick go to in a pinch. Staff is to busy to be polite. That's probably my only issue. Otherwise let's not let that take away the fact that it's an alternative to super fast food. Overall it is a location that's easily accessible and they appear to get it just right everytime. Just be prepared to be very patient and dont expect to be greeted. That's my review. I hope it was helpful to someone.“

“I have been enjoying FRESH & STEAMED food from Lem's for about 6 months. *Food is always SCRUMPTIOUS and DELICIOUS !!! *Customer Service A+++ *Black owned establishment !!! *Price - Affordable $$$ They definitely give you a huge portion of food.“

“I discovered Brooklyn Chckn ‘N’ Lbstr as a perfect place to have dinner with friends in a casual setting. The place has an intimate and soothing atmosphere, ideal for an evening hangout. I ordered the lobster mac and cheese that was highly creamy and filled with lobster pieces. The serving was quite big, and it was worth every coin! My buddies settled for different varieties of chicken dishes and were equally impressed by the taste. The staff did all they could to be of help and were quite warm. I would recommend it to anyone looking for nice cuisine in an easy going environment.“

“I've been supporting Bed-Stuy Fish fry for years. I wonder why they cut back on giving white rice. I was really disappointed about that today. For 20 dollars I really wish I could've gotten atleast a scoop and a half of rice. The server kept saying that's the portion size. It's seems minor, but to me it wasn't , I just came from work and school and it was my first meal of the day by 3 p.m. There is no where to sit inside so I to sit and eat in my car. Therefore, you really can't see how much you're getting in a real plate. I need to cook my own food from now on.“
