H. Salt Esquire

From WikiMD's Wellness Encyclopedia

H. Salt Esquire is a British-style fish and chip shop chain in the United States. The chain was named after its founder, Harold Salt, who was a British immigrant to the U.S. The first H. Salt Esquire shop was opened in Sausalito, California in 1965.

History[edit | edit source]

Harold Salt was a British immigrant who moved to the U.S. in the early 20th century. He opened the first H. Salt Esquire shop in Sausalito, California in 1965. The shop was designed to resemble a traditional British fish and chip shop, with a menu that included fish and chips, shrimp, and other seafood items.

The chain quickly expanded, with locations opening across the U.S. At its peak, there were over 200 H. Salt Esquire shops in the country. However, the chain began to decline in the late 20th century, and by the early 21st century, only a handful of locations remained.

Menu[edit | edit source]

The menu at H. Salt Esquire is centered around fish and chips, a traditional British dish. The fish is typically cod or haddock, and is served with thick-cut chips. Other menu items include shrimp, scallops, and clam strips.

In addition to seafood, H. Salt Esquire also offers a variety of side dishes, including coleslaw, baked beans, and mushy peas. The chain is also known for its tartar sauce, which is made in-house.

Legacy[edit | edit source]

Despite its decline, H. Salt Esquire has left a lasting impact on the American fast food landscape. It was one of the first chains to introduce British-style fish and chips to the U.S., and its influence can still be seen in the many fish and chip shops that exist in the country today.
