The Sea Catcher in York

I am from Korea. The chips here were fantastic and the beef burger was also delicious. Thank you for your kindness and good food.

Lovely Fish & Chips and a decent cup of tea

My mum and I had nuggets and chips here while we were waiting for our coach back to North Wales. The owner was very friendly and the food was just what we needed! If we are ever in York again, we would definitely come back here!!

Top class fish/chips tonight. Very tasty, and hot. Staff members are superb, friendly, got very positive feeling in this lovely place. Very happy to get service with a smile, a welcome, and real human contact. Well done. Thanks for feeding us after a busy day walking the streets of York.

Popped in for bags of chips today. Best chips I have ever tasted. So nice, not greasy and piping hot! The staff were very friendly. Will return on my next visit to York

Best chips we’ve had for ages. Great staff too.

Love this place. Always lovely food and amazing service, it is also right next to a uni and they offer student discount!

Absolutely worth 5 stars the guy frying the fish a gentleman.. Also delicious fish and chips from me and my wife from Glasgow.

Definitely my favourite chippy in York. Great owner always polite and the food is 10/10 highly recommend sea catcher

Excellent tasty food, and good friendly service would definitely recommend.

Love the food but just been over to shop 13.50pm and it is closed even though the sign says open at 12pm not good.

Mai mangiato un fish and chips così buono 😋 La panatura del pesce incredibilmente croccante e il proprietario super gentile. Consigliatissimo! 😍

Best Scampi and chips in York, hands down

Best Fish and Chips of the city. The service is extraordinary and the prices are too compared to other Chippies in York.

It is fish&chips take away with tables inside (first floor). Lovely fish in crispy batter with chips and mushy peas topped with tartare sauce made a good ending to a nice day. Charming gentleman helped us to make sure choice and delivered food straight to the table upstairs. P.S. Toilet was clean and tidy.

There are plenty of 5 star reviews so maybe I caught them on a bad night but my experience was really disappointing. The fish was so so. The chips really greasy and the scampi card board like and I paid for some mushy peas which were left off my order. Suffice it to say that I won’t be returning.

A good traditional fish and chips. Friendly staff (very!)

Great spot. Excellent dining room seating. 5 stars.

Such courteous friendly service and probably the best fish and chips in York. Crispy chips and batter on the haddock; delicious mushy peas and really tasty curry sauce. Thoroughly recommend!

Visiting York. This chippy was the nearest to where I was staying. Was excited to get some fish & chips. Checked online to make sure it was open. Says 12pm til 8pm on a Thursday. Well it wasnt. Had to go to another chippy that was further away. Not very professional to have your shop closed when it's advertised otherwise.

Tradycyjny fish and chips. Również dania bezmięsne dla wegetarian.

Really good food. The staff are lovely and the place has a family atmosphere. The curry sauce is one of the best I've had from a chippy, and the fish is crispy and flakey in all the right ways. I fully recommend.

Amazing food at a good price. The owner was really friendly and welcoming.

Totally unreliable. Supposed to be open today until 8 pm. Not.

Perfect Yorkshire chips..beautiful.

My friend is in a wheelchair and it was a little difficult to squease her in and out but the staff were more than happy to help me, the food was incredible and the staff were lovely. I would 100% recommend it here.

I had a shocking experience today with The Sea Catcher. I found out they are closed on Sundays!😱 The fish-n-chips are awesome-sauce here🤩🤩🤩 Crispy and meaty fish (I had cod) great size fillet + buttery chips + great atmosphere! Stylish design, lots of nice interior details, 😎👏 And quality/price it is incredible! I am your loyal customer forever 🙌

The WORST fish and chips I have ever had. Waste of money. We was excited to try some fish and chips in Yorkshire but this was awful.

Absolutely lovely , fresh fluffy chips and batter. Really good portion ! Big fish lots of chips and great service alongside. Not to mention the price was very good too ! Well done guys and Thankyou !!

Best fish 🐟 and 🍟 in York 10 out of 10 helpful present staff

One of the best Fish & Chips in York! Friendly staff, excellent service and above all superb fish and chips. We always go for the meal deal with a hot or cold drink and eat in.

Great little restaurant. Fish cooked to order, perfect. Just as important was the lovely, friendly customer service. Makes such a difference and much appreciated. Thank you 😊

Very nice fish supper very reasonably priced . Staff very helpful and friendly

The guy was brilliant and happy to chat away while we waited but the start of the show are the fish bites. They are just in a class of their own and the girlfriend already wants me to make the hour drive for more, I don't blame her😆

Prices are incredibly reasonable. The food was great. I had a fish and chips and my gf had chicken fillets with curry chips.

Lovely little chippy with the option to dine in if you choose. I had the fishcakes which were made freshly after I ordered them. Best fishcakes I've ever tasted nearly as good as my own. There is seating downstairs but just a couple of tables but upstairs there are plenty more. Well worth a visit.

I was searching for real, tasty & authentic fish & chips. And I found it.

Was closed 19.30 on Saturday didn't get to try it. Sign says is open until 20.00 ? Perhaps shut

The fried fish was fresh and the bread coating was crispy and the thinnest I have ever tried so far. It'd just locked the delicious taste of the juicy fish. However, the manager is advised not to put the raw chicken nuggets next to the ice-cream. Yes, that's a hygiene issue need to be improved.

Last Friday night in York before leaving your beautiful city and returning to Cambridge on the train, Spotted Theseacatcher through the bus window on the way into town. On the way to back to BB stopped at bus stop very close to Seacatcher and had a very good helping of cod and chips washed down with a cold coke,

Good haddock and chips quick service

מקום קטן ונחמד, ה- fish & chips הכי טובים שאכלתי בטיול

This is a lovely little place for take away or dine in. We had the Fried mushrooms, burger and chips. They also have ice cream but we did not partake. The service was great. Food was freshly prepared. The burger is typical of England and not my personal favorite but it was good. The chips are fresh and tasty.

Great fish and chips, always ask for a discount you will get one.

One of the better feeling modern fish and chip shops with pleasant and chatty staff! Fish and chips were very good and decent price! My local favourite now for sure!

Excellent place with reasonable prices

Visited the Sea Catcher early April 2022. Twice, since the cod&chips were more than good! Lovely service and great atmosphere. Will certainly come back when in York again. And thanks for the free sausage!

Lovely bit of fish chips tasty to friendly welcome good service . Just here on hols but might fit in another visit before the end of week

Lovey crispy batter lovely white fish very nice staff

The food was excellent freshly cooked while you waited , nice and relaxed

Got chicken and chips here just before closing. Tasted great and reasonably priced.

Fish was mainly batter thin cut fillet.The batter was oily and a a little soggy oil coming out I don’t know if when cooked the oil was not hot enough. small portion of chips for nearly £7 not great. Friendly Staff. This business could be great if they had decent fish ie thicker and cooked it properly. Why is it so hard to get good fish in York.

Warm friendly staff food was great freshly made and piping hot when came to my table 😋

Lovely fish and chips made to order. Fish was drained, as asked and nothing was any trouble. Staff warm and welcoming, prices were good. Would definitely recommend

Best fish and chips in York and immaculately clean, first visit but won't be our last

Very nice fish and chips, warm welcome and friendly staff ! Great for our first dinner in York.

Whilst the service was very friendly, the fish had already been cooked when I went in the shop, and was in the warming tray. When I got it home the batter was very soggy, almost rubbery - all of it with not a bit of crunch. I think the fish should be cooked to order when it is quiet.

Went here when working in York. Great chippy with great staff . Good prices too

Very friendly. Excellent fish and chips and a good strong cup of Yorkshire tea.

El dueño encantador vy la comida muy buena

This used to be great. Maybe it still is if you eat in. I live just a few minutes away and have ordered from here using Deliveroo a number of times and it's always been very good. Tonight it wasn't unfortunately, both the fish and chips tasted fine and big portions too but were undercooked by a fair bit resulting in soggy slimy batter and soggy chips. Not pleasant. Hopefully a one off, I'll maybe try them again.

Friendly and welcoming staff, great service, lovely and clean and great value for money.

Best fish and chips in York and fantastic service from all staff

The meal we had was first rate. The fish was so fresh and cooked incredibly well. It has to rate amonst one of the best fish and chip restaurants around. It is family run and they clearly take a pride in serving up the very best. The batter is a family recipe, handed down through the generations. The price was very competative even although the quality was the tops. We are running out of words to describe how good this meal was. We will definitely go back.

Got a small fish n chips (like a large) fish so fresh and the chips melted in my mouth it will defo be my local staff very perlite and couldn't do enough for you 5stars from me

Went on day trip to York from walsall, just wish this shop was in walsall, fish and chips were top notch excellent service, do yourself a favour when in York eat here.

Nicely cooked cod with honest to goodness chips. Yummy.

We live in France but thanks to Covid have been unable for 2 years to visit this fabulous fish and chip shop. When we arrived tonight I just stood at the door to smell this special place. A warm genuine welcome as always fro Sean and his top draw staff. Dinners for 8 served upstairs, piping hot, great portions and top quality. Very reasonable bill for a delicious treat.

Nice people, great food, reasonable price and discount for students

Good meal and not bad value either.

We were staying locally so stopped by to collect a takeaway after reading the great reviews. We were not disappointed! Our fish, cooked to order was perfect. Light batter and good sized portions. Everyone was so friendly and welcoming. Highly recommend it.

Very good Fish and Chips. Cooked to order. Same price to eat in as takeout. The owner recommended today's Cod and it was very nice. Friendly and a very pleasant space upstairs. Right next to a large car park and just a couple on minutes walk from the Minster. Would totally visit again.

Brilliant lovely fish and great service price is good aswell

Great food, best fish and chips I’ve had in a while. Phone order, 5 minute wait, just great.

Fish and chips times six with mushy peas and curry. Phone order, quick service, absolutely fabulous tasting meals. Would deffo have that again.

Back to eating inside. Fantastic friendly service of nice food.

Freshly cooked, fish cooked to perfection!!!! Highly recommend. Nice and clean Staff polite 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

Excellent Chips. Quick service. Friendly staff...say no more really!

Excellent fishcake and chips! Freshly cooked, hot, tasty and service with a smile from the owner! Recommended!!!!

The food was excellent service was awesome and the price was reasonable.

Staff are all so very lovely, portions are good and not expensive, and very tasty too. Got free bread and butter ☺️ Really glad we decided to come to this particular chip shop rather than somewhere further in the centre. Thank you!!

Quite simply one of the best Fish & Chips I've ever had! Highly recommended! 👌🏼

Food is fantastic, always cooked fresh to order and top quality fish. Always offer you scraps on top as well for free. Staff are incredibly friendly and even offer a 10% discount to regulars. Literally can't find a single fault. 11/10

Called in as its was on our route from hiking in the peak district. Always great quality and excellant service and banter. Nice portion and two fish n chips for 11£ .

The fish and chips at this place is definitely one of the best I've had so far. Very crispy outside and moist inside. The owner is beyond kind and welcoming, which makes this lovely place even nicer! Five stars from me!

Great value cooked fresh. Large portions.

Great little chippy just outside the walls. Decent portions friendly staff. Competitive pricing a bonus

Nice food nice people, said we could sit in upstairs to eat spotless great place

Poor conflicting web site. I will not be using

Excellent fish& chips Very friendly service

100% the best fish and chips around.

My first time trying and I was wasn’t disappointed! Greeted by friendly front of house guy too! I had small fish, chips and mushy peas and I think it came to £6 something. However the portion size was decent and the food was cooked to order! Piping hot and delicious! Luckily I only live 10 min walk away for my new fave!

Just had a terrible delivery via UberEats. Won't use UE again. But the food from here was spot on. Still hot even after the issues they had with the driver. The fish was tasty and the chips spot on. The mozzarella sticks were amazing. Next time I'll go pick up myself 😂

The best fish and chips I’ve had in York (I’m from Whitby so I feel like I’m a good judge) fish is lightly battered not too stodgy. Big portions, very reasonably priced and staff are always polite and friendly :)

Eat here lots. Always good food served up by friendly people. You can't get better in York so look no further

A god send of a fish and chip shop. No less of a shop but rather that of a palace. Treated like royalty with consistent and excellent food, rounded off with service fit only for a king. Best fish and chips in York and I’ll die on this matter. 10/10

Had haddock chips and mushy peas batter beautiful ,chips gorgeous ,peas a little sweet .what an enormous portion two pieces of fish very nice.

Freshly fried fish, great tasting, and thin crisp batter. Only tried as our normal take out was closed. Think this will be our regular from now on.

Excellent food, well presented, good quality and good value. Attentive staff, deservedly proud of their excellent local chippy with 'distanced' seating upstairs.

Top notch. Great fish and chips. Boss and staff very friendly.
