I always looked this place over whenever I made my way down Kingsland Farmers Market for lunch. It's easy to be that oblivious given there's a dozen great places to eat there. But I was stuck with the task of planning our next work lunch, paid for by the company (SWAAAAAAGEEERRRRR). I was FED up with Coco brooks and SWASS Chalet so I decided to grab one of Big Catch's menus. It had a small selection and had reasonably cheap prices. Average rolls were about 6-14.
Ordering was a breeze. They were the friendliest folks both on and off the phone.
For the price we paid I was worried this would be a run-of-the-mill experience comparable to Safeway and superstore. But WOW...probably the best take-out sushi I've had in this city. I stake my flimsy reputation on that statement.
And to be honest, a lot of my fav sushi joints can't even get this part of their business right (no love lost though, we all can't play the guitar and the banjo)
I got the Spicy catch combo which were three different rolls that came with a special sauce. It wasn't spicy as I thought it would be, but the savory and sweet sauce was incredible. Maybe there was a mix-up in our hefty order, but it was a serendipitous mix-up I'll never regret. The sushi was well-formed and the rice was cooked to consistency. The fish was fresh but I would like to take a stab at their sashimi and sushi someday. Oh and they make those pretty daikon radish flowerettes.
p.s.
