Wanting a healthier lunch we got just one order of fish & chips this time and one of beet salad and…read moresplit them between the two of us. Both were excellent. The fish was hake. This was easily the best of the four fish&chips we've tried so far in Ireland. Outstanding actually. The batter had the most perfect crunchy texture, wasn't too thick, and it adhered well. The fish was just-off-the-boat fresh, flaky and cooked just right. The portion was enormous - two fillets, one large and one medium, with a relatively small portion of good fries. The tartar sauce was tangy with tiny chopped pickles. Vinegar was available at the table. This was served with a small salad of lettuces, spinach, scallions, and onions. Price was surprisingly low given the portion, right around average for fish&chips in our experience so far. We ordered the entree salad with the locally made goat cheese add-on for a small extra charge. More excellent leafy greens, beets in small cubes, pomegranate seeds, picked onions, candied nuts and plenty of chèvre in large pieces. It was pre-dressed with vinaigrette and drizzled with balsamic vinegar. Very good, a far better choice for us than two orders of fried fish. Also on the menu were 3 other kinds of fish (monkfish, black sole, and plaice), each prepared differently. Shrimp scampi, seafood au gratin, and steamed mussels rounded out the seafood section. Oysters are on the menu but they weren't available that day. Other than seafood there were also burgers (beef and veggie), chicken wings, soup of the day, chowder, a steak, lasagna, pan roasted duck breast, cannelloni, liver paté, spring roll, and more. So a very extensive menu here, and not just the same things found everywhere. Sadly we didn't have room to try their desserts, which included sticky toffee pudding, banoffi pie, flourless chocolate cake, and meringue pie with raspberries and ice cream. They were hard to pass up.

In August we enjoyed an Oceania cruise that stopped at beautiful Cork, Ireland…read more From there we took an excursion to the quaint town of Kinsale, Ireland. It was so colorful because all the shops and cafes were painted different colors. Our favorite place in Kinsale was the Milk Market Cafe. We enjoyed their outdoor seating on a pedestrian street. Another traveler in our group recommended the Apple Cake. It was divine! The apple slices were cut very thin and it was topped with delightful crunchies. The crust was light and soft. The apple cake was like a wonderful tart and was served warm with a scoop of home-made vanilla ice cream...oh my! It was SO good! Eating it on the outdoor seating, on a perfect 70 degree sunny day, was equally delightful. Don't miss the little shops nearby and definitely dont miss the Apple Cake at "Milk Market Cafe" in Kinsale!

The best I had all week. I wish I knew the young lads name that assisted us and told us about the hike because he was amazing

After a full day of touring Ireland's coastline, we ended our evening in Kinsale and chose Fishy…read moreFishy 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.

Stopped in High Tide and got a table for two. Place was pretty full for 1:00pm. Must have been all of us cruisers. We both ordered fish and chips. They were out of Murphys beer so I had a pint of Draught Heineken. I loved my fish it was hot and fresh with hot fries. I didn't ask for ketchup but I would have loved some. My wife almost finished half of the fish and chips. She didn't care for it. She ordered a tonic water which came to the table warm. No ice was offered. We didn't ask. Trying not to be annoying Americans. The service was okay. They pointed out a table for us when we arrived, took our order, brought our food and later our check when I asked. No questions if the food was okay or if we needed anything.

There was a small line that we waited in but it gave us to be sure with what we were ordering. Naturally, we opted for some good ole fish and chips. We noticed some benches down the block so we took our food there to eat and people watch. Everything was very delicious! My friend and I were quite hungry so we quickly ate everything on our plate. The fish was crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. Between the salt, vinegar, and tartar sauce it hit the spot. The chips were hot and went perfectly with the meal. Overall, I had an efficient but yummy experience at Dino's. Definitely a great place to grab a quick bite.
