CATCH Fish & Chips - Netherlee

CATCH Fish & Chips - Netherlee offers fish and chips, receiving mixed reviews that reflect both strengths when quality standards are met and significant concerns about quality decline, portion sizes, and cleanliness, particularly in recent reviews. The restaurant has been described as featuring the best battered fish delivered when operating well, though quality consistency and value concerns have been raised by many reviewers.

The food at CATCH Netherlee receives positive feedback when quality standards are met, with dishes described as best battered fish delivered so far, delicious, crispy batter, meaty fish, and lovely. The fish quality is such that reviewers note it was probably the best battered fish they have had delivered so far, and the fish is described as delicious with crispy batter and meaty fish. The delivery service receives positive feedback, described as came very quickly, contributing to positive experiences.

However, there have been significant concerns raised about quality decline and consistency. One reviewer who used it regularly for 5 years noted this place used to be great, but they have now had 3 very bad suppers in a row, and their time using Catch has ended. Specific issues include receiving fewer and fewer chips, the fish getting soggier, and not being given tartare sauce. Portion size concerns have been consistently raised, with reviewers noting pathetic amount of chips (even for a "large" portion), portions way too small (felt more like eating someone's leftovers than having a meal), and portion for the price was poor. The chips have been described as the driest chips in Glasgow (possibly Scotland), and the chicken tempura has been described as equivalent to chicken balls out of a Chinese. There have been issues with vegan options, with one reviewer noting the worst vegan fish and chips they've had, and the item provided was not vegan fish nor did it resemble the item advertised on the menu. What they got was a kids portion of vegan fish fingers which were cooked to a crisp and barely edible. The standard when this shop opened was described as high, but now there is none, suggesting significant quality decline.

Cleanliness concerns have been raised, with reviewers noting the bin at the door was stinking, lots of insects flying around on a warm day, and floors/windows inside look very dirty, suggesting maintenance and hygiene issues.

Value perception is consistently poor, with reviewers noting it's not cheap, and you don't get your money's worth anymore, suggesting that pricing doesn't match the quality and quantity offered.

For visitors to Glasgow, CATCH Netherlee offers fish and chips that can be the best battered fish delivered when quality standards are met. The restaurant's ability to deliver delicious fish with crispy batter and quick delivery has earned it positive recommendations from some reviewers. However, there have been significant concerns raised about quality decline, portion sizes, cleanliness, and value, with many reviewers noting the place used to be great but standards have declined. The combination of generally good fish quality when consistent, but significant quality decline and portion concerns, makes it a mixed experience, and the restaurant would benefit from addressing quality consistency, ensuring adequate portion sizes, improving cleanliness, and ensuring value matches pricing to restore its previous positive reputation.
