05/12/2024: Salt N Pepper in Salthill is a solid choice for a quick, no-fuss meal. I tried the Fish Box Meal for €13.50 and overall had a good experience.
The fish was definitely the highlight: fresh, perfectly crispy and tasted excellent. A tartare sauce was served which went well with the fish. The fries, on the other hand, were pretty average – not bad, but nothing special either. I would give them 3 out of 5 stars, while the fish deserves a solid 5 stars.
The restaurant was clean and it was nice to have ketchup, salt and lemon juice at every table. The service was friendly and attentive, which made the visit even more pleasant.
In my opinion, the price of €13.50 is a bit on the upper limit, but still acceptable for the quality of the fish.
Salt N Pepper is a good place to go, especially if you're craving fresh and crispy fish. With slightly better fries the meal would have been perfect.
08/11/2024: I recently enjoyed the Fish and Chips at Salt and Pepper in Galway, and it was worth the €15. The fish was fresh with a delightfully crispy batter, and the chips were equally fresh and well-prepared. I appreciated the sides of lime and tater sauce, which added a nice touch. Most importantly, there was no hint of an oily aftertaste, a clear sign that fresh oil was used—something that made the meal even better. It’s a quality dish that delivers on taste, freshness, and value. Highly recommended for fish and chips.
