"The menu has a good mix of classic and quirky seafood dishes which are always nicely prepared and well executed."
"The gluten free batter coating the fresh cod was delicious."
"I had fish soup which wasn't exceptional but it was tasty and fresh."
"Hands down to the best fish and chips in town! Their homemade tartare sauce is to die for!"
"For my bf, he ordered a large cod fish with chips. Its really super crispy and its reallly LARGE, which is out of expectation."
"The Cod and Chips and mush peas were absolutely fantastic, the batter on the fish was great and crispy, the fish was so tasty."
"The best battered cod I’ve ever had. The batter was lovely and crispy and not at all greasy."
Cons:
"The large cod would be a small one anywhere else and although they now have a battered veggie sausage it is a vegetable sausage and not a soya or pea protein one."
"The food well cooked, the half smashed garden peas with garlic butter different, we had large cod and chips and also fishcakes. Fishcakes were good size and tasty with a nice texture."
"The haddock is extremely dry, very small portion and your famous triple fried chips is under cooked (soggy)."
"Fish and chips, chips not crispy and the fish is bit small even I ordered the large size. Taste average."
"The batter and fries were cooked perfectly but it had a taste that something else was cooked in the same oil."
"Fish and chips might be a British thing - but you can’t beat New Zealand or France at this game."
"Food is absolutley awful. It is disgusting and doesn’t taste normal. The chips are average and could get just as nice ones for a pound."
"Horrible woman, with no manners serving. The food was very average - they even leave the skin on the fish and then add the batter. Very vile…"
Service
Pros:
"The staff are friendly and welcoming."
"Staff is super friendly and accomodating! The view on the harbour is great."
"Staff were friendly and food was delicious."
"Service is good and staff are nice."
"Amazing food here and great service! Good value for money and would definitely return :)"
"We popped in to Bristol on a day trip from Somerset and found this restaurant. The Cod and Chips and mush peas were absolutely fantastic, the batter on the fish was great and crispy, the fish was so tasty."
"Probably the best fish and chips I've had traveling around the UK! The server recommended that I get the haddock instead of the cod and it was a great recommendation."
"The best fish and chips ever! Probably. Everything seems to taste incredible from here and the menu is varied enough to please most people."
Cons:
"Used to be our favourite place to eat but although the food is nice their portions/prices are terrible."
"The waiter that took the order had a facial expression that suggested surprise or disappointment for the order made which could have been avoided."
"A nice setting to sit outside by the quayside to have something to eat, but the service left a lot to desire for as the are not the best."
"Salt and Malt (wapping wharf) has really gone downhill. Had held off submitting a review the last few times, as had put it down to the surly female server and her awful customer service."
"We visited this restaurant based on some ratings claiming it was an award-winning establishment. However, we found it to be overpriced, with the large cod portion priced at £16, and an additional 10% service charge."
"Too expensive for what you get. The cod size was very small, the flavour was very mediocre for both the chips and the fish and they didn't even give us a lime or anything as they always do in any other fish and chips restaurant."
"The worst part is that even though the price is expensive, when we came back to get the fish and chips, and we asked them if they had some ketchup, they asked us to pay 20 p on top for every Heinz bag of ketchup. The tables outside were disgusting to even sit there."
"Service was shocking ! Staff not attentive interested and even took 20 mins to get the bill and had to go chase them."
Ambience
Pros:
"Outdoor seating is under some stairs so it can feel like you’re eating in the middle of a thoroughfare."
"The view on the harbour is great and we’re next to the M Shed museum."
"A nice setting to sit outside by the quayside to have something to eat."
"Best fish and chips we had in Bristol and very reasonably priced. Around £12 for dine in and £8 for takeaway, comes with chips and peas."
"In a fish bowl surrounded by big cars smells of salt and malt and a herb garden, expensive tasty fish n chips n smashed peas."
"Really decent. Excellent batter on the fish, mushy peas were some of the best I've ever had, nice chips."
"Next level fish and chips 🔥🔥🔥 the best battered cod I’ve ever had. The batter was lovely and crispy and not at all greasy."
"This is a lovely chipper for a sunny evening on the harbour side. We wanted to sit outside so just ordered from the takeaway."
Cons:
"Many flies everywhere, fruit flies, which make me worried about food quality."
"Overly expensive, not worth it for the price, but an interesting experience."
"Also a little pricey at £12 for fish and chips."
"Nice young staff in atmospheric location. Terrible food."
"Ambience was pleasant, good decorations but also too many flies for November."
"After passing this place countless times for years, we went on a sunny day for fish and chips on the harbour."
"We have always used Salt and Malt when visiting Bristol or Chew Valley. The last three times has been disappointing."
"I would give zero stars if I could. As we entered we were asked whether we wanted to sit in or take out by a surly older female server."
