Auburn Catch Fish & Chips
Crispy, non-greasy batter and tasty seafood define this classic meal, complemented by exceptionally friendly and helpful service. However, recent changes in ownership have led to some reports of missing items, poor service, and a decline in quality.

“After reading the reviews, we were excited to try it out. We got a fish n chip pack with calamari & scallops. Everything (fish, chips, dim sim, potato cake, crumbed calamari & scallops were crispy & tasty). George & Sam are awesome. Friendly, fun & passionate about serving good food & hospitality. All round good experience!”
