The Catch - Cornwall,Isles of Scilly

Visited today with my family ....on entering noticed 1 other family of 3 sat at table and no one waiting for take away .....ordered cod and chips x 2 , battered sausage and chips , kids sausage and chips , chips and gravy and 5 soft drinks ...Bill came to £49 ....sat at table that needed wiping with serviette ...waited about 10 minutes for food to be ready which was OK but heard other people who ordered after us get their food first .....considering restaurant is right near a fresh fish outlet this was not reflected in the fish meals we had ....and even though we ordered cod neither my partner or I thought it tasted like cod my partner who is a fisherman said it was more likely to be whiting ...the batter was really crispy and hard in places and alot of the chips were raw in the middle .....whilst we appreciate that if busy having time to wipe tables and change bins takes a back seat , this definitely wasn't the case today , not busy at all ...

Lovely greeting asked if could eat in, guy said yes with a smile, tables were grubby, cleaned ourselves with a napkin! Bin was overflowing, place was empty so 2 guys could of come out from behind counter and cleaned up! FISH and CHIPS though were excellent, crispy chips, fish white with nice thin crispy batter, mushy peas were yuk, tartar sauce not homemade! Would I go back YES just cleanup a bit!!!

The fish was not fresh as I would expect at it is right next door to Looe’s fish auction. The chips were not cooked enough and were soggy and not crispy like they should be. Anyway it was a real shame as I know they want you to come back again and again.

We have been here many times over the years and it is still the best chip shop in Looe. The fish tastes beautiful and the batter is perfect,all freshly cooked on ordering. The curry sauce is the best we've ever tasted. Dogs are allowed inside. Definitely recommend

Terrible, tasteless fish dry spongy chips. We ordered 2 large haddock 1 large chips. We expected lovely fresh fish chips. The premises is next to the fish market on the quay. We got the opposite. The fish was without doubt frozen. It cost £26 and ended up in the bin. We won’t be back. Avoid at all costs.
