About @ The Catch Carnegie

Clean frying and pristine fillets set this Carnegie chippy apart from the neighborhood pack. Fresh gummy flake arrives wrapped in thin, greaseless batter alongside hand-cut chips, while the kitchen extends well past the classics with grilled calamari tacos, house-made fish cakes, and crisp Greek salad. For families managing coeliac requirements, dedicated prep delivers grilled catches and gluten-free chips with watchful care. Even the burger lineup holds its own—towering stacks like the Akubra finish off an everyday counter run.

  • Clean-Fried Classics: Thin, non-greasy batter coats tender gummy flake, paired with crisp hand-cut potato chips.
  • Seafood Tacos: Grilled fish tacos and tender calamari tacos offer a fresh alternative to standard paper bundles.
  • Coeliac-Safe Options: Attentive kitchen staff accommodate coeliac diners with dedicated grilled seafood and gluten-free chips.

  • Fastidious Coeliac & Dietary Accommodations

    Staff and chefs demonstrate meticulous care for coeliac diners and food allergies, preparing separate grilled fish and gluten-free chips so the entire family can dine safely without compromise.

    The gentleman who owns the business was not only extremely helpful and accommodating, but the chef also checked to make sure everything was fine. We ordered a grilled fish and Gluten Free chips which were very good

  • House-Made Fish Cakes & Crisp Salads

    House-made Greek fish cakes and refreshing Greek salads provide wholesome, fresh variety that goes well beyond standard fried offerings.

    One dish I highly recommend is the greek fish cakes with a Greek salad..just a perfect meal to enjoy.

    Great food and great hospitality. Best chips I've had in a long time and the fish tasted really fresh! Costa welcomed us like family and was accommodating with a larger group and a pram.
