Ideal For The Best Fish & Chips in Bristol: Salt & Malt

The collection of cargo-container restaurants housed in a far corner of Bristol’s hip, harbourside Wapping Wharf quarter has become one of the city’s key culinary focal points, and it’s here that you’ll find Salt and Malt.

The brainchild of chef Josh Eggleton, a former Michelin-star holder who has appeared on BBC’s Great British Menu, Salt and Malt specialises in gluten free fish and chips alongside an ever-changing cast of carefully composed seafood small plates. With views over Bristol’s Floating Harbour (watch out for seagulls!), there are few more suitable settings to sample Britain’s most iconic dish.

But it’s away from the ‘classics’ side of the menu that things get interesting, with the monkfish ragu – rich, keenly seasoned, and spooned over toasted sourdough – a particular favourite in the IDEAL office. Similarly, the haddock Milanese (essentially a flattened fillet given the schnitzel treatment), served with an assertive anchovy butter, is a very satisfying plate for ichthyophiles, indeed.

All of this pairs perfectly with a can of Bristol Beer Factory’s Southville Hop; the ideal foil to the restaurant’s namesake chippy seasoning. Might just order a second, actually…

Address: Cargo 2, Gaol Ferry Steps, Bristol BS1 6WD
