Excellent fish and chips with multiple fish choices. Restaurant wasn't fancy but the staff was friendly. If you want good fish and chips without pretense, this is a good choice. read more

From boats to plates, Quinlan's Fish is known to serve fresh seafood in this small town of Killarney. Seafood menu selections include but not limited to Fish Chowder, Shrimp Sandwich, Fish Cakes, Crab Claws, Oak Smoked Irish Salmon Sandwich, Wild Squid, Atlantic Prawns, Sea Bass and the list goes on... however, among all the freshness in the seas, the most popular choice is still Quinlan's Traditional Beer Battered Fresh Fish & 'Real' Potato Chips. Served with 'real' potato chips (or fries for Americans), lemon wedges and tartar sauce, foodies also get to choose the type of fish they desire. Yes, take your pick: wild whiting, wild plaice, wild haddock, wild cod or wild hake. I know, I know... either start googling or ask the server for recommendation. It will be an interesting experience no matter what you choose. read more

We lined up out the door and in some light drizzle for this seafood.I can see why Quinlan's is so popular! The fish & chips are big enough to share for 2. Our server was super helpful when we asked for her opinion on which fish to get. I also got the chowder and was suuuper full! Everything was fresh. Service was awesome. You have to try this restaurant if you're in town. read more

Crab claws are a must ! So delish ! We also ordered the prawns & also delish ! Small inside, service is great. Perfect for lunch.

Great seafood spot in the middle of Killarney. Three months after my trip, I'm still dreaming about the fish and chips I had here. I got wild hake instead of the normal cod here, and it was the best. Their seafood chowder is amazing here too. If you're in Killarney, definitely worth the visit. Hopefully I'll be back someday. read more

This place was recommended to us by our amazing AirBnB hist and it did not disappoint. Everything we ordered came out fresh and hot and the flavors were amazing. Didn't matter how full I was, I was determined to finish every bite of delicious fish and chips with mushed peas on the side! Definitely a spot to hit up if you're having a craving for some fluffy on the inside, crisp on the outside fish & chips! read more

Great place...stopped in yesterday for lunch. The seafood chowder really was some of the best we've ever had, and the open-face smoked Irish salmon sandwich was massive and delicious. And whatever else you get, I recommend an order of chips with garlic mayo. I recommend going for a late lunch, or planning on an early dinner, as there was a long line out front the last two evenings when we walked by... read more

This small, modest restaurant is very low key but the only one in town with a steady line outside of waiting customers. We noticed it and got in line. The portion are huge, best fish and chips I've had in a while. Wife had the grilled salmon and it was delicious. The fish chowder was also very good. They have no alcohol license so hot tea was our drink of choice.. They claim to have their own fishing boats that service their 5 restaurants. Definitely will keep this in the memory bank.. read more

The food was good. They got us in quick, but I got feeling from the waiters that we were taking too long even right after I ordered. They just wanted to pump people through. Good for quick bit but don't plan on staying long. read more

Great Standard Fish and Chips spot. This one is more tailored to your taste as you can pick the kind of fish you want along with how you want it prepared. I went with the normal fried cod and chips and it was perfection! And the portions are well sized. This place does seem to attract quite a crowd, but the wait seemed to be no longer than 15-20 minutes per party. read more

We got the fish and chips. It was really good!! Very flavorful and crispy. A little too greasy but overall I'd definitely recommend if you're looking for fish and chips. read more

Quinlan's Seafood Bar - 1 have and 2 cod fish and chips - Seafood Near Me - Killarney, Kentucky

The best fish and chips I have ever had and probably will ever have. This place is owned by a group of fishermen, not businessmen, who catch their fishes daily so they're fresh, not frozen. Their batter was PERFECT. You could taste how fresh and tender the fish was. I cannot forget about this place. No fish and chips place anywhere else in the world can compare to this place. I ordered the cod and oh my...it just melts in your mouth. It was fried so perfectly, so crispy. Also the portions are big. I cannot say enough good things about this place. I'm just sad that I probably won't be able to find another restaurant here in the states that would serve the same quality of fish and chips. read more

See all

Super fresh fish and really large servings! I was hoping for a little more variety, but in the end me and the hubs were both impressed with our selections. Would definitely go back. read more

Came here after reading the great reviews. It didn't disappoint! I ordered the fried cod, and it was so flaky, moist and delicious, and the breading was tasty, and not too greasy. The "chips" were crispy and delicious, and the mushy peas were the best I've had! I'll definitely comeback next time I'm in Ireland!! read more

My husband and I ate here twice on a 3-night trip of Killarney. The first night I had a fish cake entree which came with a huge salad. The fish cakes were fresh with large pieces of fish in it, but it seemed like it had more filler than I would have liked. The second day I had a fish and chip platter (cod) and it was some of the best I have ever tasted. Everything is very fresh and not too oily. The place is owned and operated by fishermen, which makes everything better. I highly recommend lunch or dinner here especially if you are looking for good seafood with no frills. read more

Quinlan's Seafood Bar - Seafood Near Me - Killarney, Kentucky

Very fresh, yummy seafood, and at a good price too! There was a line to get in, but they hustle to keep the line moving quickly and it was worth the wait. I had the fish and chips which was very yummy, and my husband had the crab claws, which were also very yummy. The fish and chips was a good size, but the crab claws were a very small portion for a dinner, especially if you're very hungry, so just keep that in mind. The service was excellent and very friendly, and this is a great place to get very fresh seafood at a good price. There are no alcoholic drinks, just FYI. But that's not a problem since there are so many pubs to go to afterwards. read more

The fish was delicious and fresh but the entrees were not that filling. It's the only dinner in Ireland I left hungry. Maybe I should have also gotten the chowder, bet it would be amazing. Its casual dining, sort of like a diner and there's no alcoholic drinks served. Not a problem per say, just wasn't expected to not have a drink with dinner. Made for a super quick dinner. read more

Excellent Salmon dish for me and Fish&Chips for my son. Smoked salmon for my wife that she loved. Could use some beer there, but otherwise worthy for a visit!! read more

Efficient, fresh fish, friendly and convenient. Not elegant - so if you're looking for fancy, look somewhere else.

Delicious food, especially the breading on fish and onions. Chowder was full of fishes too. Says they are a fishing family and ship internationally, so fish is fresh! read more

Quinlan's Seafood Bar - Chowder, sea bass and onion rings! - Seafood Near Me - Killarney, Kentucky

Super fast service and incredible seafood. Highly recommend. Not to crowded either. Chowder is great

Best Fish and chips I had while in Ireland. We had a large group 11 of us. They accommodated us beautifully and gave us excellent service. Cannot say enough about how great this place is. I wish they were in the US. Thank you for everything! read more

Food was really top notch - better than expected when expectations weren't low - and ready in a flash! Fried cod and hake, seafood chowder, pan cooked Sea Bass not to mention mushy peas were all excellent. This is a stop worth making. read more

This food was amazing. We wanted to change up one of our meals since we had been having traditional Irish food for the past several days. I got the #9 which was the pan fried salmon. This plate was delicious and also very feeling. The fish didn't taste fishy at all. I would say the skin was seared, but definitely not a deep fried meal like the fish and chips. Would recommend read more

They claim the best fish and chips in Ireland, and while I clearly couldn't try them ALL, from what I did have they were the best. They are a cute, quaint little fish house in Killarney right in the middle of all the pubs. I enjoyed the ambiance, and the service was surprisingly great as well. The prices are fair and the portions are quite large- my boyfriend and I were able to share one order of fish and chips and be completely satisfied. They had other options I was looking to try, but they were out- which is understandable given their size and location. I highly recommend a meal here! You will not be disappointed read more

Fast service on a crowded weekend. Cod cooked to perfection, light and flavorful. Good value for plain well done fish and chips.

I was in Killarney with friends..found this place on Yelp and was very pleased. They catch the fish that they prepare and everything made to order...very reasonable priced and friendly service. read more

Great spot to stop and eat some seafood on High Street in Killarney. I had the panfried sea bass and it was excellent. Other members of the group had the fish and chips and sea bass as well. I tried Fish and chips and the breading was excellent, lots of flavor. I would return for sure. Plus side, its open a bit later than most places on the street, and isn't expensive for great food. read more

The whole family enjoyed their meals here. The squid was excellent and I was pleasantly surprised by the fish cakes.

Great food... really good fish! Fantastic chips. Crab claws are very nice as well! They even made room for our buggy. Meal deal was very tasty read more

We had eaten at two other Quinlan's Seafood bars prior to going to this one (Cork and Caherciveen) so we were excited to eat here. I was disappointed. The Cork restaurant was perhaps the best restaurant I ate at in Ireland. But this restaurant must have a different head chef because the food here was nothing to write home about. The seafood chowder was very bland. This was the only food at any restaurant I went to that I felt like I needed to add salt and pepper (and, no, it didn't really help). The chowder also had a lot of green onions in it. So many that it felt like that's all I was getting at times. My wife and I ordered different dishes. I had their lemon sole daily special. It was better than the chowder but still lacked some flavor. I did get a lot of fish on my plate which was good so I did leave feeling full, just not satisfied. My wife ordered the Portmagee crab claws hoping for something much better. While they tasted pretty good, the dish itself had not real sides. For the price, she really didn't get much to eat and ended up eating some of my food because she was still hungry. If you order the crab claws, maybe think about ordering a side of chips or something else to fill you up. All in all, I think I'd choose another restaurant next time I'm in Killarney. If they could raise their flavors and their menu offerings to that of their Cork or Caherciveen locations, it could really be an awesome place to eat. read more

Surprised it did not live up to high marks from other Yelpers. In their defense, we did take away on a night they were very busy. Squid was a bit overcooked, chips were nothing special, but my partners salmon was outstanding... Melt in your mouth. My recommendation... Try it, eat in, and stay away from the squid. read more

This was hands down the best fish and chips I have ever had. We stopped by for lunch and I ordered the beer battered cod. The fish was flaky but not dry and the batter was crisp but not too heavy. We also ordered the crab claws which was also delicious but I have to recommend the fish and chips. They were that good!! I actually forgot to take a picture because I ate it so quickly! The food came out quickly and the server was extremely friendly. The place is a little small so I'd imagine it might be difficult to get a table at peak times. read more

Had a great lunch here. Fish cakes/salad for me while octopus & chips for my wife. Excellant quality & would definitely come back again.

Stayed in Killarney for 2 nights for a golf trip and this fish and chips chop didn't disappoint. Everything was great- cod, chips, hake, onion rings... It was busy but our group of 4 got a table quickly and were served within 15 minutes of ordering. Great. read more

Quinlan's Seafood Bar - Seafood Near Me - Killarney, Kentucky

Delicious, fresh, haddock was awesome. Sea bass was great with a wonderful sauce. Seafood soup was awesome. Wanted to go back every day.

Ok. We've been Ireland for four nights, and I still haven't had Fish And Chips. From the locals to all the reviews, everyone said you have to go to Quinlans Seafood. Now we understand why! The place Is small, But the tables turn over fast. You end up chatting with others in line and other tables. The food is beyond compare. From my Hake and Chips to my wife's Battered Prawns with Garlic Aoili, each bite was hot, crispy, and perfectly juicy. A great value! Cheers Quinlans! read more

Best fish and chips I've ever had. My husband had the John Dory special (not fried) and it came with a salad. Both were delicious!! We stopped in at lunch early, so no line. They were not quite open yet, but 5 minutes later the server stopped us on the street 3 doors down to tell us they were now open! Glad she called us back because it was phenomenal. I would highly recommend. No ambience to the place, just simple interior, but who needs ambience when you're staring at the best plate of fish and chips ever! read more

Small place, but great food. I'll visit again without hesitation. Line out the door the entire time we eat, but the wait was only 5-10 mins.
