The Catch Wanaka

The Catch is a fast n cheap fish n chip joint. A no frills, pay for extra sauce kind of place. I swapped $13 NZD for a bit of fish, fries and tarter sauce, had it in hand in under five minutes, then tossed some chicken salt on the fries, walked 30 meters to the beach, and ate it all to the greedy envy of a large assortment of beach birds. No need to get into details here, the fish and fries were piping hot, crispy and tasty. This is not award winning fare but also doesn't pretend to be. Temper your expectations and you'll enjoy it even more. I'd go tease the birds a second time.

Looks like the portion sizes have changed for the better. This was one piece each of the whiting, gurnard, and deep-sea cod, which was plenty for the two of us.

Looked really appetising and i really wanted to enjoy this because staff was really friendly but unfortunately my fish was not cooked properly as I bit into raw batter. The calamari rings were a solid 5/5, chips were 3/5 portion was good, blue cod was 1/5: bones and uncooked batter and it was still a bit cold in the middle (idk like didnt taste hot like the rest of it), crab stick (not pictured) was burnt (2/5) . Again, I really wanted to enjoy this place because the staff was so nice but it did make my partner and i’s stomach unwell for the rest of the day

Food was so fresh. Had the battered whiting, a large chip & coleslaw and a bottle of Pepsi all for less than $40 (for x2 ppl)

I was lucky enough to have the blue cod burger today. 10/10! The fish was delightfully fresh, super light and full of flavour. Salads were perfect and the bun was lovely too! Definitely give this one a go!

10/10 - highly recommend. The staff here are so lovely and they LOVE their customers! We visited to get some fish and chips while in Wanaka and the staff were so friendly. Food was absolutely delicious. Had the Blue cod and medium chips.🤩🤩🤩

Fish and chips were okay. Servings were good. The only problem we had was the chicken tenders were quite burnt and tasted bitter like the oil used hasnt been changed for years. Only a few tables. Best to eat it by the lake

I ordered a Blue Cod and a Fried chicken + chips. So my review is based on these 2 items I ordered. Paid $11.90 for 2 small pieces of blue cod, it was thinly battered and crispy. Nice. The fried chicken is slightly over-fried, but it taste crispy and nice too. The chips are nice. Overall, I recommend this place for fresh and tasty fish & chips.
