Kevin M was right! These are the best chips in North Belfast! Last night after a long day being…read morehealthy we decided to ruin it all by getting a big chippy. We decided we didn't want to pig out completely so we opted to get 2 battered sausages (these always come with a few chips - inside tip right there) and a fish supper. This was easily enough for both of us to have a massive meal. The chips are what makes this chippy a cut above the rest, they are thick and potatoey (that's a word I just invented) and when soaked in salt and vinegar they are highly addictive. The fresh fish used is perfect. I have to say I was shocked about how good this place was. The service was excellent too. We placed our order and within about 10 minutes we had it and we were on our merry way. The meal was still pipping hot when we returned, a sure sign it was cooked fresh. On of the easiest 5 stars I have ever given.

I secured an online reservation last minute, and I am so glad we had the chance to dine here! Mourne Seafood Bar is in Belfast's City Center, next to Kelly's Cellars pub which was bustling at 9PM. Our oysters were brought out in 5 minutes; the mains took 20 minutes. In my experience, the service was standard. What we ordered: -1/2 dozen of natural oysters: This was my FIRST time ever eating oysters. I was pleasantly surprised of how fresh, non-fishy smelling, and non-slimy they were! I tried the oysters by themselves, then with lemon and Tabasco, which I find more tasty as they enhance the flavors. -Beer battered cod and chips with mushy peas and tartare: The cod portion was HUGE and piping hot. The cod was properly cooked, not dried out as other fish and chips eateries. The thick steak fries were crispy on the exterior and fluffy on the interior. I did not like the mushy peas as a personal preference. -Pan fried fillet of seabass: Absolutely delicious. The seabass was flakey with a crispy skin. Clams were properly cooked. Saffron mashed potatoes supported the fish. It was a hearty and balanced meal. -Rockshore cider: This tastes like your standard apple cider. It is crisp and sweet and does not taste like alcohol. Atmosphere/Layout: It is a very narrow restaurant that can fit maybe 40 diners inside. The tables are very small too. I would recommend having a reservation due to the limited space. It was warm inside, which is nice from the brisk, windy weather. Diners seem to be all locals catching up over a meal and every table around us had wine or alcohol.
