Fishy Fishy in Kinsale

The doors were open and there was a draft through the venue which wasn't ideal for my dad. The food also wasn't that flavor strong. The oysters were my favorite but apart from that nothing really interested me. You might like the fish pie if you're into a hearty creamy meal, but I wasn't feeling it. Felt like frozen veg to me

Great food and great service from Carmine and the rest of the team

The best restaurant in Ireland ?

Fishy Fishy is a fantastic restaurant in Kinsale. Despite being a lovely, busy place, everything runs incredibly smoothly. The service was attentive and welcoming throughout, and the wine list had some really interesting choices. I had the scallops for lunch, and they were absolutely delicious - perfectly cooked and full of flavour. It’s easy to see why this restaurant has such a great reputation. I’ll definitely be back and would highly recommend it 👌

Scallops we're fantastic and organic Salmon was delicious

Great food , very good choice on the menu, staff were friendly, brilliant experience

The fish dishes we tried were all very good: fish soup, fish pie, and dogfish. We were very satisfied with the experience. Check your bill, because they had the wrong table with us.

Fantastic seafood restaurant with a fun ambiance. We ate here two nights in a row!

After a full day of touring Ireland’s coastline, we ended our evening in Kinsale and chose Fishy Fishy for dinner. We started with the multigrain bread and house-made butter, which was a simple but tasty way to begin the meal. The lobster bisque followed and was rich, creamy, and hearty. While the lobster flavor became a bit overpowering toward the end, it was still well worth ordering. For our mains, I had Jody Hurley’s Wok Fried Crab Claws with white rice, and my wife ordered the Baked Local Lobster with spring onion mash and salad. The crab claws were tossed in a creamy lemon sweet chili sauce that was packed with flavor, and the rice balanced the richness perfectly. The generous portion was an added bonus. The standout, however, was the baked lobster—fresh, perfectly cooked, and topped with a delicious mustard cream sauce. Paired with the mash and salad, it made for an excellent meal. Fishy Fishy delivered fresh seafood, generous portions, and flavors that made it a memorable stop in Kinsale.

Wonderful place! You have to book in advance and you will have to wait and take a drink to be seated, but it is worth it. The scallops could be larger, and sticky toffee pudding could be presented more attractively.
