Would not recommend. Batter was oily, chips were soggy, fish was ok but small, and we were charged a 10% surcharge. Nowhere in sight was there any mention of a public holiday surcharge. Nor was it mentioned before paying. read more

Disappointing! Living in Fitzroy our normal go toos tonight advised they had no fresh fish so we phoned Catch n Co to ask if they had Fresh (not frozen) fish, they advised their gurnard was fresh tonight so we placed the order and drove across town to eat our fresh fish n chips on Ngamuto beach. We asked again on pickup that this fish was definitely fresh, not frozen which they assured us it was. It was absolutely awful and 100% been frozen, it smelt and was tough. We  took the meal back and spoke to the owner/manager who then advised it was "his back up fish" and that today he did not have fresh gurnard! What!  Extremely annoying after asking many times for fresh Not Frozen fish. Will Never go back. At least both our Fitzroy go toos were honest when asked so good on them read more

Not your usual fast food! Situated at the seafront , this restaurant slash takeaway boasts of the freshest seafood and vegetables. My salad tasted like homemade one, lemon fish was custom cooked in tempura, panko crumbs and pan fried for three of us. And you can always judge the fast food outlet by the quality of chips. Those were not greasy, but light with a pleasant crunchy surface and soft soul. Extremely attentive staff that made rad coffee for our very demanding group: "large naked cappuccino" and "large latte with half shot coffee". And they nailed it! Thank you. read more

Catch & Co - Seafood Near Me - New Plymouth, TKI

I think you are going to think that all I give is 5's when more accurately I research where I go and prefer that good places get good reviews, and other places get little. Certainly there are a variety of takeaway joints in town, those that would seem a bit more dive-y, although for me, having quality ingredients well prepared chef-style is certainly more appealing. Catch & Co. delivers on this. There is a selection of batters, a selection of the fresh catches, a selection of chip styles, and all is á la carte, although I can understand why a place would be this way. The ambience is clean, reminiscent of a waterside joint without frills, parking is adequate, and the Apple GPS found it easily. The quality of the ingredients is what makes this experience worthwhile. So fresh, so well prepared, without greasiness. Just a perfect fish and chips. When you crave local food in a local fashion, don't look back, move forward and to here read more

We were in New Plymouth and found this place near the water. They have an extensive menu so fish Tacos was the choice. It came in a short time and it was very good with some nice fried fish inside. The service was good and they had room inside at several tables. They also have tables outside for nice weather. read more

On a recent catch up with my Mum, we were down at the port hanging out in bright sunshine and salt air, which had piqued our appetite. We ambled over to the Bach, which has a reputation for good vegetarian nosh....but, was uninspiring with dated and stodgy cafe fare. Then, something sparked in the grey matter and we remembered that Catch and Co do a great battered brocollini...something that may alarm regular fish and chip shop goers...but delighted me the last time I tried it. Also, they are cheaper than the Bach ( pricier than the regular chip shop), but have impeccably fresh fish and are worth paying a little extra for the detail and choices they provide. So we decided on Catch and Co for lunch. 'Deep fried food for lunch!', you exclaim in horror?!? My general rule-of-thumb is that any reasonably healthy, self-respecting glutton can get away with a deep-fried 'blow-out' every once in a while and that week, we had some grease credits to spare. One of the best things about this eatery is that you have so many scenic choices to take your hot butcher-papered packages to eat. Plus, a brisk march down the coast walkway or up Paritutu Rock if any guilt or biliousness kicks in. We waited in line to order at the counter after quite a few other patrons and were finally, politely greeted. I interrogated the friendly, portly server about a beet and haloumi burger on offer and satisfied, we ordered that, the brocollini, a half scoop, battered gurnard and coffees. Well, and with a sheepish grin... a treat that has obsessed me since childhood, an order of potato fritters. By now you will be aware that I am blissfully ignorant of concerns about hefty carbs smothered in fat, if it is the RIGHT dish. For anyone who scoffs and sneers at the humble potato fritter, (think of your liver, the calories etc) I can only describe the following delightful gustatory experience- as you wait for the pocky thing to cool down, you start to imagine it's revelations: First, the crunch of golden brown batter, like a bumpy, glistening reef of crunch, with flecks of sea salt balancing the fat load...then, the batter under it's crust, moist, savoury, slightly gummy with an addictive al dente resistance...finally, the sunny slice of potato itself...steamed to an essence of potato-ness....like the interior of a perfect baked potato....but naughtier...which is always nice. Add a squeeze of lemon and you have got yourself quite a dangerously good bite. After the imagining...the reality! And with more than a speck of irish blood I am defenceless against the many manifestations of potato... Paid up, we then perched in the comfy exterior waiting area. Our flat whites arrived quickly, were suitable and sucked down with gusto. New Plymouth locals provided a nod to karma and entertainment as another waiting boffin we nicknamed 'Oil Baron' (Oh, bully to YOU sir, we are so, so impressed by how you make millions working for an evil, environment-despoiling corporation...) boasted endlessly about his world travels and was then loudly told off by unimpressed wifey for neglecting his elderly Mum, waiting in the car. Shortly after, our packages arrived and we decamped to the sparkling and working-class Ngamotu Beach foreshore...for a bench seat under a shading pohutukawa and vistas of paddlers and seagulls. I love the scent of sea air and hot chips steaming through paper as you settle in a spot. Every bite was perfect. Mum inhaled her fish and she does not suffer anything less than excellent in that department. I can taste the crisp brocollini with its vegetal succulence, dipped in generous garlicky aioli, now! My one complaint and only one, was that the sogginess of the beet burger defeated it's soft sesame bun, which dissolved slowly into the load of coleslaw. Maybe a nice brioche or something with a crust would hold up better? But there you go, wetness did not deter me and I was happy to shove wads of it in my gob as it deteriorated, regardless. Sweet and sour beet with salty halloumi is quite, quite good. Thanks mightily Catch and Co, I look forward thumbing nutrition in the eye and stuffing myself again, next visit! read more
