Sensational thick, juicy, fresh cod. Crispy, crunchy batter. Proper thick cut chips. Malt vinegar and salt. Galway institution. Never disappoints. Thank you 😊 🙏

Always a go to for fresh and crispy fish and chips in Gaillimh. The pub meets chipper vibe always works well in the west of Ireland, something that never seems to replicate in the rest of the country. I no longer drink alcohol , but one time I always enjoyed a tin of something with my grub. For now 7up free does the trick. The paper straws are useless though, turned into mush a few síps deffo need about 3 for one drink, futilite effect. That is the only meh about the experience.
McDonagh's is always a hit, never a miss. One of my mates is a Dubs Dub and my last visit he was was sorts of excited to see ray on the menu, he treated us to the works and for me it was my first time to taste this fish, synonymous with Dublin cuisine and it was bleedin delish. There is a knack to getting through to the flesh and by-passing the cartilage which came away with ease. The batter was fantastic - perfect crispy, chips all sorts of proper order, tartar sauce tart and péas mushy!
Sitting outside in the shade as the mercury hit 30° meant we could eat our grub in relative comfort. The Latin Quarter is a vibe and McDonagh's an institution within that space, an 'ag ithe amuigh' experience that encapsulates what the City of Tribes has to offer!!!

Seafood fast food, great prices but everything is fried. We tried skate and weren't thrilled, but the oysters were excellent.

Tasty Fish, Friendly Service
Stopped in at McDonagh’s while in Galway — super glad I did! The staff were really friendly and quick, even with the place being busy. The fish was absolutely delicious — fresh, flaky, and fried just right.
The chips were okay, not super crispy, but the fish more than made up for it. Great spot if you’re craving classic fish and chips while exploring the city. I’d definitely come back for the fish!
More of a fast food seafood place. Had salmon, very tasty and large portions. Food came quick. Locals also visit.

Disfrutó de pescado y patatas fritas y una generosa porción de scampi y patatas fritas. Es un lugar de comida rápida que pides en el mostrador y te sientas. No es un buen ambiente. Tienen una licencia de vino teníamos 2 botellas pequeñas de vino blanco, pero era de muy mala calidad, sin embargo, la comida era sabrosa y recién cocinada. La factura de las dos comidas y 2 vinos fue de 40 euros. 80
