Haven't been there in a while, but i used to like the fish&chips at St.Dymphna's on St.Marks, near Ave.A
in the avoid category: i recently had the fish and chips at the Half King on 23rd St...i remember liking the fish there in the past, but this time it was truly wretched: incredibly tough, like soggy breaded rawhide...

You're going to an Irish Pub today and expect to be able to get food!? Please report back. Molly's is fantastic and they pour a mean Guinness as well.

You cannot get food at Mollys today. In fact you cant get in the front door.

yeah really what was i thinking lol...couldn't even get in the front door as princeofpork said...maybe if we had gone earlier. but i do know they were serving them, and i bet they were about $15. man, the prices of food get so jacked up, unless that's how much they normally are. i know shepherd's pie was almost $20! anyway, if you wanna laugh, my friend and i ended up at bbq down in the village, and it actually wasnt too bad. i had the shrimp platter, and it was decent for $10, w/ a decent serving of fries and a nice dos equis to wash it down (the cornbread was pretty unmemorable though). oh well, guess ill have to hit molly's another time!

I love the cod fish and chips at Assault and Battery. I like that place better than St. Dymphnas

Too bad the A Salt and Battery in the East Village closed down years ago.

Oh no! But do they still have the store in Greenwich st?

Yes! My favorite fish & chips in Manhattan, hands down. Most are sad excuses for real fish & chips (anywhere that serves it with tartar sauce, for instance.)

If memory serves me, A Salt and Battery serve a tartar sauce.

Yes, but the OP was asking for f&c's in the East Village Stuytown area.

I really enjoyed the Fish & Chips at Butcher Bay. They were not greasy at all, but I couldn't tell you if they were beer battered.
