Now as you can see in the photo, the crab landed in front of me with a big ole cup of mayonnaise..... hmmm ..... Now normally I don't dream of steamy crab legs covered in hellmans, but thanks to a few pints I was feeling brave. You will just have to try it yourself if you are feeling dubious, but mix in some fresh lemon juice with that white goop and dip away - that is a tasty mess! Who would have thought crab and mayo? Go figure. Oh and the beer in the pics is not some blonde mess (i don't like the loaf of bread in a glass) it is Smithwicks ale - pronounced smith-icks - which seems to taste pretty dang good with everything.

The pizzas are amazing and are cooked in front of you, I would recommend ordering a few and sharing them as they come out of the oven.

She did not steer us wrong. Fish Kitchen is on the second floor in downtown Bantry on top of the Central Fish Market. It is a tiny, intimate restaurant serving fresh caught seafood. The food was delicious. We started with a craft beer for him and a cider for me. They carry a well curated variety of local craft beers and also have a great wine list as well (the ladies next to us had polished off two bottles). We split the prawns in a garlic chorizo sauce. It was delicious and the shrimp were cooked well and flavorful. I had the haddock and chips while my husband had the crab claw/hake duo. The haddock had a light batter and his crab and hake had a great garlic marinade to them. The service was very welcoming. We stayed there past 10:30pm just chatting with Dermot. We would definitely return to Bantry to dine here again!
