Fish & Co. – Menu, Prices & Review

Treat this place like a stinky dead fish lying in the sun, and just keep walking.

Fish & Co is a light-hearted restaurant that serves up fish with the flavours of the world. This is a family-friendly place where you can munch on childhood favourites like pizza and french fries.

Menu at Fish & Co

Fish & Co’s inspiration draws from many corners of the world. You’ll see seafood seasoned with Japanese teriyaki, Louisiana cajun, Portuguese peri-peri or Malaysian sambal. If you’re not keen to eat something that came from the sea, your options are severely limited. You can count on one hand the number of pasta and pizzas that are vegetarian or made with chicken.

Food at Fish & Co

Mark inexplicably enjoys it, so he ordered a Lime Juice (RM7.95). He said that this was one of the worst lime juices he has tasted. He likened it to bottled lime juice that had expired. Ha. Lime juice that’s gone off. What happens? It gets more sour? I didn’t dare to taste it myself since I can’t even stand “good” lime juice so let’s just take his word for it.

On the opposite note, my Cranberry Float (RM9.95) was delicious. You never see floats made with cranberry soda so I had to try this. Despite it being cranberry, the soda was not too tart. The ice cream was surprisingly very smooth. The restaurant must have been blasting their air-con because the ice cream never fully melted into the drink until I forced it to. I was able to eat half the scoop normally, before submerging the rest into the soda, creating a creamy sweet beverage.

The Danish Fish & Chips (RM24.95) boasted “oozing mozzarella cheese.” Don’t expect thick, gooey strings. What was underneath the breading was a skimpy amount of liquidy cheese that didn’t even cover the entire fish surface area. Most bites I could barely tell there was any cheese at all. There was also supposed to be a bit of chilli spice on this, but I didn’t taste any. These two ingredients were supposed to make this dish “unique” from the other fish and chips. Since they were barely present, this ended up tasting like basic fish and chips.

The Bombay Fish & Chips (RM22.95) was certainly the most out-there fish and chips we had ever seen. We were so curious to try it. You never see fish and chips with those kinds of spices (and a curry mayo dip), even at a dedicated fish and chips restaurant. I tried to find some good qualities to the Bombay fish and chips, but I just had no desire to eat this after a couple of bites. The breading was way too dry, delicate and didn’t adhere to the fish. It separates and crumbles into a million little pieces when I cut it, so I had to eat bites of naked fish followed by a forkful of breading bits. The lime, when spritzed on top, did not match the flavours of the fish – it just made the fish worse. Even the curry mayo dip was a bit sour and I preferred simple ketchup over it.

Saturday Worthy?

Unless you’re completely ignorant of what proper fish and chips taste like, you will regret ordering them here. If you’ve been to, say, Cor Blimey and had a decent plate of the stuff, you will know that Fish & Co prepares their version poorly. The fish in both dishes was too soft and almost mushy. The fish itself had no hint of its own flavour – all the taste was in the batter and dipping sauce. They’re also just messy, unattractive pieces of fish. Even though it’s cheaper than other fish and chip shops, you’re just throwing your money away on atrocious seafood by eating here.
