fresh catch

Just-landed fish today

Fresh catch refers to fish or seafood recently taken from the water, not frozen or long-stored.

Restaurants advertise their fresh catch to signal quality and same-day sourcing: The fresh catch today is mahi-mahi.

The phrase sometimes appears on menus as a category for whatever fish arrived most recently.

Figuratively, fresh catch can describe any newly acquired prize or romantic interest.
