The concept of Hooked is very simple. Just how Grilled claims to do healthy burgers, Hooked is trying to replicate the concept and apply it to fish and chips. On their website they ask the question "why hooked"?
A: low in fat, high in protein, rich in omega 3 etc etc etc. They also claim to only use locally sourced potatoes and the freshest of ingredients.
I do really love the concept and the menu looks really appealing. You can choose between the house fish, prawns, calamari and scallops. You can even continue down the healthy route and have a salad instead of fries.
All that aside, whenever I have come here (twice - i gave it a second go!) it has been exactly like the two star rating says.... MEH. There is too much batter, the seafood does not pack a punch, the chips aren't that addictive and overall there is no warm fuzzy feeling like you've had a good feed.
The service is good and the backyard a nice spot to eat but the food really is lacking. I'd rather go to an old school fish and chip shop that has more flavoursome food at much more inexpensive prices. read more
