A very tough one to review due to numerous factors.
We didn’t eat green peas and asked for those to be changed to fries, which they did. We ended up with an additional bowl of fries each, which we thought was too generous. This was also the main reason why I contemplated giving them 4 stars instead of 3.
The fries, however, were really bad. It was either over-fried or the oil was overly used – the fries turned out pretty tough and very crispy. A major letdown for how it was done, a 1-star for the fries alone.
The fish was good. We opted for the haddock since dory are typically a thin slice and can be found in most hawker/food centres. It was definitely a thick chunk of fish, though our portions did vary slightly, with my wife getting a bigger portion. In any case, it was fresh and juicy, definitely one of the better ones out there. It did get jelak towards the end of the meal though, probably caused by the flour.
The price point was very acceptable at just $18++ for the haddock and chips.
Definitely one that’s hard to rate since the fries ruined the meal.

Food was not too bad. Here’s what we got!
- Sriracha mayo cauliflower: This was really good, freshly prepared upon order so it’s hot and crisp! But the portion was a little small for sharing.
- Fish and chips, halibut, brown sauce: The fish and chips were actually not bad! But I found the batter still slightly thick for me, as it got a bit 'gelat' halfway through the meal.
- Truffle Mac n cheese: I could taste the light truffle in this. Recommend more for sharing!
Overall, the food was not too bad but not impressive for us. However, I appreciate how everything was hot when we received the food! The service was good too; we had an odd number of 5 pax and the staff helped shift us to more spacious seating after some tables cleared.

Portions are decent. The Pan Seared Halibut's skin isn't crispy enough. The Fish & Chips had a perfect fish portion, but a few more fries would have made it better. The Truffle Mac & Cheese was a little too watery. The sauces could be a lot better.

2nd visit:
Went back again and tried their steamed seabream whole fish, but when the dish was served, the fishy smell was very strong. It smelled like a damp cloth. We tried the fish and it tasted very sourish and definitely not fresh. We gave feedback to the staff, and they kindly replaced it with another dish, allowing us to choose barramundi. The service recovery was commendable, but I hope their kitchen can maintain the freshness of their fish properly.
Fish burger bread is not bad. The fish in the burger is haddock.
Corn is not bad. Thanks for the complimentary items (corn and cauliflower) due to the not-fresh seabream served earlier.
1st visit:
Amazing service by staff Nani. Kudos!
The 2-course set meal is worth it. The battered chicken is yummy. Deep-fried cauliflower was quite tasteless, but the spicy mentaiko sauce provided made it not too bad overall.
Battercatch may want to consider letting customers top up for other types of fish, as the 2-course set meal only allows choosing Dory fish and chips. We ordered haddock fish and chips (which was more expensive), and the portion size looked smaller than the dory fish and chips from another table. The chips (fries) are nice too. The mashed peas (menu indicated mint pea, I'm not sure why) are nice.
The pan-seared barramundi whole fish is nice too. The skin is crispy, but the potatoes were a bit sourish.
The creamy cloud float tasted like a less-sweet root beer float with cream on top. Average. Not fascinating.

Had great fish and chips. The fries were great and the fish was fresh. I enjoyed the ice lemon tea, and we also ordered the lychee tea. For starters, I just got coleslaw. It was delicious with no complaints. Service was fast too.

Ordered the lunch set: dory fish & chips with Caesar salad and the chicken mac & cheese! The fried cauliflower was also very good and went well with the sauce provided. Portions are generous, would recommend getting more people to share :)

Made a reservation for 7pm. When we arrived, there was a long queue. Fortunately, we had made a reservation and went in without having to wait. We ordered a few dishes for the four of us. I especially liked their shepherd's pie, which contained fish (salmon and another fish I didn't recognize) instead of beef. It was tasty and came with a tangy salad; I didn't expect it to be so nice. The salmon and coleslaw were delicious too. It came with mashed potato and sauce on top. No regrets in choosing this dinner spot with friends.
