Hands down the best fish and chips I’ve ever had!! Above Ground DC ruined me for all others! The batter was impossibly crisp without being greasy and the fish flaked apart like butter. You can tell it’s fresh and cooked with real care. The fries were golden and seasoned just right and that house-made tartar sauce? Unreal!! You can taste the chef’s love for good food in every bite. Whether you’re a local or just wandering through the market, this spot is an absolute must!!!

The fish and chips here is unbeatable! Great little spot! The malt vinegar for the chips just makes it even better!

Great fish - crispy - fresh - tasty ( got the tartar and curry mayo ). Chips were a bit of a let down in comparison to the fish -
