Back in my junior college days when we didn’t have any money, gatherings with friends were limited to McDonald’s. Only on special occasions, like when it’s someone’s birthday, would we enjoy the rare treat of dining at places like Fish & Co.

I remember there was once when the whole group of a dozen of us crowded into the restaurant at Plaza Singapura. Shortly after sitting down to flip through the menu, we had to make a rather embarrassing escape when we realised we couldn’t afford the food! Yes, back then a Fish & Co meal seemed unattainable for us.

So, I think it’s great news that they are making their food extremely affordable now! From Sundays to Thursdays between now and October 31, they are reeling in customers with the fabulous autumn seafood sensation promo. four seafood dishes are priced at just $9 each!

Their fish and chips is rumored to be the best in town. With this attractive promotion, it’s a great opportunity for everyone to put it to the test!

I did. So have they passed with flying colors?

Swiss fish & chips
SGD9++

The restaurant chain is famous for their seafood in a pan concept, where the dishes are served in little pans (though I’m pretty sure they don’t cook the food in them). Deep-fried to a lovely golden brown and topped with the signature garlic lemon butter sauce, the Swiss fish and chips certainly pass the initial looks test. The ample slab of dory fish helps a lot, too.

Still, none of that can prepare me for how awesome the batter is. It is one of the lightest, crispiest batter I have tasted, comparable to japanese tempura! As for the flesh, it is tender, lightly salted and savory throughout.

Look, it is even stuffed with gruyere cheese!

This is, without a doubt, one of the best fish and chips I’ve ever had. (hmm… I find that I have been using that phrase a lot lately.)

Another place that claims to have the best fish and chips is the Manhattan Fish Market. I haven’t had theirs before, but if it’s similar to the deep-fried fish fillet that they serve in their flaming seafood platter, then it pales in comparison to Fish & Co’s.

Well, what do you think? Do Fish & Co have the best fish & chips?

Thai’s deluxe catch
SGD9++

One very flavorful dish included in the promotion is the Thai’s deluxe catch. It comprises of grilled dory fish, served with paella rice and a pile of fresh clams cooked in succulent tomato sauce.

The thing that “thais” it together is the red curry ladled over the fish. The curry sauce is thick and sour, a very different rendition from your typical sweet Thai curry. I guess this is the tom yam edition. It goes well with the rice, and every bite is bursting with flavor!

With the promotion, both dishes cost just $9++!

I really like the fact that the promotion is valid on Sundays, too. For your next meal, take advantage of these $9 autumn seafood sensations! You can pick from:

• swiss fish & chips
• seafood baked rice
• captain’s catch (barbecue sauce)
• thai’s deluxe catch (red curry sauce)

Aside from the food, I also notice that a copy of the restaurant’s newsletter is placed on every table. The quarterly publication contains the latest happenings and promotions at all the restaurants operated by the same company (that includes Giraffe Bar, too). This way, customers have something to read whilst waiting for their food. That’s a very cheap and clever marketing method! Tcc is another place that provides such light reads.

The newspaper-style design and the cute name really appeal to me. Can you catch what the name is?
