Flickr user digitalkatieA Salt & Battery: British cuisine isn't exactly known for being healthy, and at this Greenwich Village fish & chips shop you'll be hard pressed to find anything green on the menu. They'll fry just about any fish they can find, as well as beets, scallops and sausage, but the real jackpot is their desserts. The deep fried Toffee Crisp bar is the perfect mix of sweet and salty, crunchy and melt-y. And at $4 you can afford to treat yourself all the time! Though that might not be a good thing.112 Greenwich Avenue, (212) 691-2713

Think of your favorite food. Now think of what would happen if your favorite food were deep fried. It would probably taste better, wouldn't it? Save for a few leafy greens, we can't think of anything that doesn't taste delicious after it's been coated in flour and dropped in hot oil. So for those of you who don't have the room for a deep-fryer (or just don't want to risk burning your house down), here's a list of some of the city's best places for fried food, from candy bars to burgers (by clicking the links here, you hereby absolve Gothamist LLC of all coronary-related liability). Where are your favorite fried food joints?
