This City Island seafood spot, closed for the first week of Lent but open thereafter Thursdays through Sundays, has been around since the 1960s. It serves up affordable fried fish and french fries, ordered at a counter, along with dense milkshakes. The outdoor space at Johnny’s Reef has plenty of picnic tables that overlook the Long Island Sound.

Devin’s was founded 22 years ago at the foot of Sugar Hill. Whiting is the favorite fish, and steamed vegetables can be had in lieu of french fries — though you’ll be missing some of the best fries in Harlem.

This British gastropub on the Upper East Side is named after a forest that occupied the space in the mid-19th century, and it serves classic English pub fare in an appropriately dank atmosphere among labyrinthine rooms, which just so happens to include an excellent rendition of fish and chips, comprised of beer-battered cod and triple-cooked spuds.

Forget the standard one or two fish options. This dependable British takeout spot in the West Village, from the same owners as Tea & Sympathy next door, serves some great fish and chips. There are four different choices — cod, haddock, sole, or whiting — served in two different sizes, and portions are pretty generous. The large size is big enough for two. Order chips separately, or mix it up with another quintessential English side, mushy peas or battered beets.

Dame began life as a summer pop-up in the first year of the pandemic, focusing on fish and chips cooked to perfection with a crunchy beer batter. The permanent restaurant in the same location is tougher to get into, but its fried hake and thick-cut fries are worth the trouble if you do.

Bed-Stuy’s Shipwreck Seafood Boutique is popular for a reason: In the summer, customers huddle over greasy tables out front, dragging limp but serviceable fries tossed in Old Bay seasoning through side cups of tartar sauce and ketchup. A paper menu posted to the door lists whiting, catfish, cod, and other fish available for frying, and portions are generous for the price.

At this stylish seafood spot decorated with flotsam and jetsam in Gowanus, expect gussied-up takes on Northeastern clam-shack fare, including New England-style fish and chips served with Old Bay-seasoned fries, house pickles, and slaw.

Head to this fish fry in Prospect-Lefferts Gardens for fried or grilled seafood that strays somewhat from traditional New England takes on the dish. Fish and chips here can consist of battered tilapia, topped with a generous handful of chopped herbs, and served with a big pile of sweet potato fries.
