Pirates Catch - Kurunjang

Super friendly staff and warm atmosphere. My partner and I order blue grenadier (grilled) and chips. The fish was meaty and fresh, nicely grilled. Chips were crispy, thick cut and lightly salted. New local locked in!

Pirates Catch is a small outlet located in Stockland Tooronga in Glen Iris. I have been here on several occasions and found their food consistently delicious. Today I dined on the $10 Tuesday (and Thursday) special of Burger with the Lot and Chips. I must say that I have always been partial to a fish and chip shop hamburger and the Pirate's Catch version didn't disappoint. A well cooked slab of beef lay nestled amongst sweet onions, lettuce, tomatoes, onion and good old egg and bacon inside a nicely toasted bun. Accompanying this was a generously sized portion of perfectly cooked chips. <br/ <br/ Ahoy matey!

SERVICE: 4.5/5<br/ <br/ FOOD: 4/5<br/ <br/ DECOR AMBIENCE: 4/5<br/ <br/ Super friendly service, which made up for the wait time which was a little longer than I'd usually like to wait. I appreciated they took care in making the food not rushing it, plated nicely and the best thing, FREE SAUCE ON THE TABLES! I had a Captains Pack which was fish of the day with either chips or salad $10). The lady was so lovely she allowed me to have half serve of chips AND salad. When the meal came out she ended up giving me full sized chips and small salad on the side. my greedy guts were so happy and I had a satisfying meal. Wjll give the seafood pack a go next time.<br/ <br/ KID FRIENDLY: Definitely could! Tables toward front of the store has more room so if you need pram parking, it's doable.

We shared the ‘Captain Pack – 1 x Catch of the Day, 1 x serve of chips or salad $10.00)’. We went with chips option and the Catch of the Day was whiting.

Last night I decided to get dinner at Pirates Catch after remembering my usual Fish and Chip place, Malvern Fish and Chips is closed on Sunday's. <br/ <br/ The plain burger at Pirates Catch is more expensive than at Malvern Fish and Chips but this is worth it considering that the meat pattie is thicker and there are more toppings. Pirates Catch's plain burger comes with the meat pattie, tomato sauce, cheese, lettuce and tomato. The plain burger at the other nearby fish and chip shop only comes with the pattie, sauce and lettuce. The burger can also come with chips instead of paying for that separately so it is a combo. I also ordered one potato cake. <br/ <br/ I preferred Pirates Catch's burger, it was delicious and I would definitely return for it! I preferred the chips and potato cakes from Malvern Fish and Chips since theirs has more flavour in my opinion. <br/ <br/ I was very impressed with the generous serving of chips though!
