http://chiamhuiy.blogspot.sg/2013/04/bugisjunction-food-trail-5-fish-n-co.htmlMussels spicy marinara sauce, $11.95
Spicy mussel in a tomato-base. It doesnt belong to those mussels that are too tough. It's served with warm bread as well. I would say the sauce is tasty because of the zesty sensation, so dipping the warm bread into the sauce is flavourful enough. NEW: Clams with Curry Butter
Despite being served in a creamy curry base, the sea clam has a tint of spice within the sauce. It is another award-winning dish! Served with warm bread as well. I personally like this cos I've always been a seafood lover ^^Soft Shell Crab with Green Salad
Soft crunchy shell crab paired with fresh vegetable salads. Quite an unique and refreshing combination for a starter. Bombay Fish n Chips
Don't ever be fooled by this. The fish was entirely coated with several spices; take a bite and you'll immediately know the difference. It comes with an Indian herbs-and-spicy twist, so make sure you eat it with the skin! The fish itself is really fresh and tender too. Shrimp n Clam Agio Olio
I like how the way the spaghetti is semi-dry coated with olive oil. It brings a little spiciness out of it and the texture of the spaghetti isn't too moist nor too dry. A very good balance between the two, which qualifies itself to be my favourite, even though I'm not a fan of Agio! Grilled fish with peri-peri prawns
The king prawn in the seafood platter is definitely the star of the platter, just like how it dominates in the platter. This prawn meat taste as juicy as how it looks like in the photo! It was very easily peeled off from the shells too. Grilled white fish with ebiko $16.95

Can I say this price is insane?!
The new grilled white fish with ebiko is really the best hands down!! I honestly would pay $20 and over for this, because the fish really looks huge here. They taste really good and tender when it's served hot. The ebiko and mozarella cheese melt their way on top of the hot sizzling white fish as well.

Honestly the best dish among the rest. And it's seasonal, won't be here for long!

Fish & Co. recently launched a new menu featuring "The Best Fish & Chips From Around The World"! Sure enough there was a wide selection of Fish & Chips - using different varieties of fish and also different cooking methods. Unfortunately, a number of their dishes were not available on that day.The restaurant was relatively empty but the service was TERRIBLE! First, what I had wanted to order initially was not available. Then when I knowingly picked another dish which was also supposedly not available, the staff still placed my order in, only to come running back minutes later to tell me that it's also not available.

Next, since we ordered 3 sets of same meal, we placed our orders together for convenience but the staff still had to ask us repeat our orders individually. We must have repeated ourselves more than 5 times to get our orders in. What should have been a very simple order lasted more than 10-minutes.The meal came with a drink, soup of the day and a main. Since the Arctic Fish & Chips were not available, I opted for the Grilled Salmon instead which comes with a choice of 2 sides. The meat was just your average grilled salmon - nothing special about it worth mentioning.Anyway, the bad service saga did not just stop there. When we asked for the bill, it came as a huge mess! Most of the items billed were wrong. There was even "Arctic Fish & Chips" in the bill even though it was not available. And when the bill came back a second time, it was still wrong. So we had to state our orders yet ANOTHER time. *rolls eyes* How complicated can 3 lunch sets (1 drink, 1 soup, 1 main) get? I seriously do not understand how they can get such a simple order so wrong.

This is definitely a thumbs-up for the best coleslaw that I had ever had. The coleslaw is very crunchy and the sauce is very creamy and has a tench of sweetness and really makes one crave for more after having it. This coleslaw really whets the appetite of mine as it is very refreshing and nice. This is definitely a must-try when you dine in at this restaurant. Trust me and you will know after tasting it.

After much window shopping, My boyfriend and I decided on Fish & Co for dinner. Unlike the restaurants name which implies it caters solely to Fish, one would be amazed to find that serve delicious looking pizza's as well! I loved the dim lighted restaurant which gave a romantic feel to it (especially on a date); whereby lighting was placed just above each table and practically shined on the food, that made food look more appetizing than usual There was plenty of seating and lots of friendly staff (not all of them could speak English unfortunately which slowed down service a little to non-Chinese customers) Tables were already set when we entered the restaurant and staff took away extra plates/cutlery when needed to ensure there was more space. We were also allowed to choose our own seats which made the experience more comfortable. I had decided to get a plate of fries for sharing. Never did I expect such a huge serving through! They tasted pretty much the same as other fast food joints and was served with mayo. Chili sauce will also be given upon request. I still found it to be a little over priced as it costs half the price of my main course. Will give this a pass the next time round! 6/10The winner of this meal would definitely be the margarita pizza! It was baked to perfection with cheese, mushrooms, juicy tomatoes and onions. However, I did request for the pizza to be without onions but unfortunately I found them in my meal. I decided not to be fussy though, since the pizza did take a good 15-20mins to arrive despite the restaurant being 70% empty! However, I will let that slide seeing that the pizza tasted really good! I must say, I was impressed as I never expected Fish & Co to out-do pizza restaurants but they sure did! 9.5/10. I'd rate this 10/10 If my pizza came without onions as requested and if waiting time was not that long. It would be a plus point if a thicker layer of cheese was added. Staff at the outlet were not very attentive either seeing that since some of them could not speak English, they did not come forward when we needed assistance and got one of their other colleagues to entertain us which prolonged waiting time.

We also had to raise our hands up for quite awhile before being noticed (to ask for sauces, water, the bill) and no glasses of water were served to us (even when the rest of the tables had water at their tables). We only got ours after being asked twice. Overall, the waiting time was what made the experience slightly dull and the lack of good service did not make me feel valued as a paying customer. Food wise, beyond acceptable.

Food
We had an gathering on a Friday in a group of 11. Due to that we cannot make reservations, my friends had to be there early to "chop" 11 seats. We decided to order different dishes and have a taste of each other food.

We had also asked for chopped chilli and tartar sauces. My favourite is the chopped chilli. However, I am disappointed by how watery the chopped chilli is! Have their standard of food dropped?

This is the back of the fish & co menu. Was amazed by how it expanded internationally.The soup of the day is offered if you ordered a meal.
Standard bowl of warm mushroom soup served.Mussels in Garlic Lemon Butter Sauce
This is the award winning dish for the restaurant. Mussels with home made garlic lemon butter sauce. Breads are given.Grilled Chicken with Swordfish Collar
Deep fried large swordfish collar accompanied by boneless chicken thigh in peri-peri sauce and smashed potato.
The chicken tastes abit salty and quite hard, seems abit overcooked. As usual, for swordfish collar, we have to wait quite sometime for this dish to be served. King Prawn and White Fish
King prawn baked with ebiko roe and mozzarella cheese paired with grilled white fish with lemon butter sauce. Since I ordered in a set, I have the choice of 2 side dishes - I have chosen grilled vegetables and coleslaw. This is yammy. Seafood Platter for 1
Array of grilled seafood - tiger prawns, dory fillet and calamari served with paella rice and chips.
Portion is suitable for 2 person. Service
The service is quite annoying. They should have more training! My friend order a glass of Passion Fruit that is refillable at $2. She has to keep calling for waitress to fill it up and initially, one of them argue that it is not refillable... Until the staff had verified the bill. Secondly, when they took the empty glass for refill. It was filled up and served by another colleague, he went to the wrong table. This shows that there is no proper communication among them, imagine if the glass of Passion fruit drink had went to another customer's table. Atrocious!

Ambience
Noisy environment with snake queues still waiting outside for dinner.
A handful of staff and all are running about like madness.

Price
Consider the portion of the food versus its price. I should say its worth the money spent.

Recommendation / Tips
(1) No reservation allowed after 6.30pm on a Friday.
(2) if you spend additional $2 for refillable drinks, make sure you remind the waitress that your drink is refillable.

I was here with colleagues for a NYE lunch. I've always liked the food at Fish & Co. but the waiting time is sometimes unbearable. I had the Poached Cod with Spicy Teriyaki Sauce. First time trying this dish and I had no regrets. The fish was prepared very well, perfectly poached so it was firm meat on the outside and juicy on the inside. The spicy-sweet sauce was also exceptional. Can't say much about the fries - think they were a bit cold, but eh, the fish was so good, I'm just willing to forget about the fries and rice.

Now, about the service, two words: absolutely horrible. The staff needs to be more attentive and less forgetful. You could request for an item 2-3 times - they'd still forget about it. Waiting time is way too long, but they do have warning signs all over regarding this so, only if you're patient enough I guess. But no matter how patient one is, nobody should put up with such bad service by the crew. Grr....

Ok it was payday and i decided to treat myself with some fish and co. The only thing that was awesome was the salmon.. A nice lemon butter sauce on top of the salmon!

But i mean really? The dish came a bit too long as i waited for the salmon to arrive! I waited eagerly for it to arrive... Now the first thing you will take in a dish is the?? FRIES!! DAMN they were cold! As in cold fries... thats not cool at all! Its like serving deep fried sushi! It doesnt make sense!

I was turned off by it immediately! Upon which, i took the sauteed vegetables! Boy this was it! Sauteed vegetables are supposedly to be warm in which this was cold! Ice veggies! Damnnn i was turned off already... The melons is as hard as a stone! The carrots is like a trip to the dentists... your teeth will laterally break!

Lets go to the fish, this was a good strength by them... Ok honestly just serve the fish w/o the condiments! WITHOUT! then this place should be called Fish and nothing!

I dont complain much but damn when food isnt up to anyones standard... come on....

As for the service, only 2 staff knew what they were doing.... not gonna mention anyone....

In conclusion, i feel they could really do better with their side dishes

I think i had too many unsatisfactory visit here to the point I'm not coming back, this branch especially.

Firstly the service has always been a disappointment. It's really hard to catch their attention. Once I spent 5-7 mins looking around for eye contact/ waving / raising my hand to request for my bill.

Today, the minimum wait for the food to arrive was 30 minutes. Not a good place for lunch on a working day honestly. Their Fish & Chips are not the best as what they claim it to be. Its soggy and salty and clearly today's visit will put me off all Fish & Chip for the next few years.

Previously I had tried seafood platters at other restaurants before and they were quite a large serving.
Although it says for 2, it is sufficient for 3 or even 4 if we do not have large appetite.
So we ordered a seafood platter for 1 and another one for 2, sharing among the 5 of us.(:

The waiting time was quite long though, but since it's a platter, I guess it's understandable?

True enough, the platter was enough for the 5 of us, although we weren't very full, it's enough to fill our stomach just right.

Each seafood platter is served on a bed of paella rice and chips.
The platter for 1 includes tiger prawns, dory fillet, and calamari.
While the platter for 2 has tiger prawns, dory fillet, calamari and blue mussels in garlic lemon butter sauce..
Really love the tiger prawns for that they are fresh and sweet, and it is made in a way that its easy for us to detach it from its shell, with just fork and spoon ;D
The dory fillet are also fresh and it's not too dry, the calamari was not bad too.
The fries and rice are normal.

In terms of the amount, the seafood platter for 2 has 10 tiger prawns which are really pretty large.
The size of the dory fillet is average, though I’m wishing for it to be bigger in size since I’m a fish lover ;D
The amount of calamari was really a lot, my friends who finished it said they are super full from it.
The mussels are gone in seconds, but the amount is reasonable.(:
As for the rice and fries, it’s quite normal and just right.

And for the seafood platter for 1, basically the items are different by half. 5 tiger prawns, almost half the amount of calamari, dory and rice.

Overall it's quite worth it if you are a seafood lover with the prawns and mussels.
It's about $14 for each of us sharing.

Today, I went to Fish & Co at ION Orchard for dinner.
Had to queue outside for around 15minutes before getting a seat inside.
Ordered a complete set of Seafood Platter for 1, which costs me $19.95.
After completing the set with Clam Chowder Soup and Ice Lemon Tea, the whole meal costs me approximately $30 inclusive of tax and GST.The Seafood Platter for 1 consists of:
1. Grilled tiger prawns
2. Deep fried dory fillet
3. Grilled calamari
4. Paella rice
5. Fries

The prawns were very fresh. The flesh of the prawns were very solid and delicious.
The dory fish was crispy and fragrant. Love it with and without the lemon juice!!
The squids were gummy and fresh. Smelled and tasted very good, I almost ordered another plate of Grilled Calamaris!!!
Love the peppery smell of the calamaris.
The paella rice was quite soft. Didn't really fancy it though. The rice has strong smell and taste of seafood!
Fries are very crispy and hot. Not so salty. Taste fantastic with the sauce of the fish Clam chowder soup.
Texture of the soup was awesome. Not too thick or salty.
Cream was awesome and the soup has very heavy seafood smell!

Overall this meal was very satisfying.
Service was great. Ambiance was good as well
Expensive meal though

It was a birthday celebration with my colleague during lunch hours and it wasn't a full house so we got our seat in less than 5 minutes. I ordered for myself the Soup of the Day as it was clam chowder, my favourite!

The soup come piping steaming hot in a large flat white bowl which is pleasing to the eye. The content of the soup is fabulous; the clam pieces were not shredded like some places, the soup is flavourful and well-seasoned, in every scoop of soup I will definitely catch a few portions of clams. On a rainy weather, the soup is really heartwarming and comforting.

I will definitely order Soup of the Day whenever I dine in Fish & Co.

It's our team lunch meeting once again and being a number one Fish & Chips fan, we chose Fish & Co. to dine in.

I don't usually eat at expensive restaurants and Fish & Co.'s menu is really expensive! ( Good thing it's our boss' treat!)

I have tried many fish and chips at other places, and this one is alright in my book. Fish & Co got variety of Fish and Chips from around the world! I ordered the Danish Fish & Chips stuffed with stringy mozzarella and spice in that lightly battered fish and topped with lemon butter sauce. It's very tasty and big and awesome but I was not at least 90% satisfied. It was disturbing to me that such an innocent looking food would contain that much oil (it didn't look like it either). Not sure if they were pressed for time to really drain the oil well, or that's how they really make theirs. Still it was a delightful meal, but I wouldn't eat more than 1 piece of fish.

Their service really sucks as well! I guess having students as part timers is a big no-no! It took 30 minutes for all our others to come in! Too BAD! Nonetheless, I still had a great lunch with my colleagues!

Fish & Co. at ION has become one of my more "frequent haunts" lately. I think I've probably been here more than 3 times this month! But usually when I go to Fish & Co., we order the usual Seafood Platter-For-Two without really looking at the other dishes that they have to offer.

Today, I decided to try something new and go for their Seafood Risotto instead!I really like the risotto at Italian restaurants like Prego and usually go for the creamy mushroom one. The risotto at Fish & Co. was just average. While the dish looked really impressive, the cheese that they used seemed like your average pizza cheese so it wasn't that fantastic. I also thought that there was too much cheese such that it overpowered the rest of the flavours. In the end, it was too cheesy for me to finish so I ended up only eating about 3/4 of the whole plate.

I went with my colleagues to Fish & Co at Orchard ION to have our lunch today. I ordered the Grilled Chicken with Oyster Frites platter for 1 person, and I also took the meal set which adds on a soup of the day and a soft drink which I chose as coke. In total my entire meal cost me $23.45 and here's how it looks like:From what I know, the grilled chicken was topped with peri-peri sauce and served with zinc – rich oysters that were crumbed and fried to a golden brown. It's very yummy! I love the nice combination of both the grilled chicken and fried oysters, especially when the huge oysters melt in my mouth.

For my dish, it also comes with 2 side dishes, which I had chosen as the fries and the salad. Fries were equally crispy and aromatic. The soup of the day was also nice.

Overall, I found the food serving for this dish to be alright for me. I also simply love the peri-peri sauce that were spread onto the grilled chicken. Very yummy! I would definitely recommend my friends to try out this new dish creation from Fish & Co on my next visit.

On a scale of 1 to 10 with 1 as mediocre and 10 as very yummy, I would give this Grilled Chicken with Oyster Frites dish a rating of 8. I would definitely order this dish again on my next visit too.
