Dar Filettaro a Santa Barbara

As the name suggests, Dar Filettaro a Santa Barbara is specialized in "Filetti di Baccalà": battered and fried cod fillets, a ritual for the Romans. The fish fillets, which literally melt in the mouth, are presented wrapped in paper, and you eat them with your fingers rather than with a knife and fork. A few selection of antipasto dishes, salads (including a Roman favourite of "puntarelle" with an anchovy and garlic dressing) and desserts are also available. You can satisfy moderate hunger and thirst for around 6.00 to 9.00 euro.

What others said about it:

The epitome of the frugal eaters' temple is Dar Filettaro a Santa Barbara, whose signature — and only — main dish is cod fillets coated with a thin batter and pulled sizzling and crispy out of a bubbling fryer you can hear from the dining room. People in the Campo de' Fiori neighborhood come in, line up at the counter and walk out munching steaming fillets, as Americans would a pretzel or hot dog. You're not paying for ambience here. Tablecloth and napkins are butcher paper. Simplicity is a good watchword for the frugal buongustaio.
There is a small menu listing salads, and I had a great giardiniera, along with the fillets.
