We were heading to Skibbereen from the Airport and detoured to Kinsale for a late lunch. I had heard about Fishy Fishy so we went there and we can't wait to go back. The Scampi had such a light coating of batter, usually one could get half a loaf attached and so overcooked it would skin your mouth. If you... more

We recently ate here with a group of six from the New York City area and had a wonderful meal. We started with the mussels and fresh oysters, which were both incredible. Everyone had different, but equally excellent choices for their main course meals. All agreed that we would highly recommend this restaurant. more

Our B&B hostess recommended several places when we arrived in Kinsale on 3/12/09 and Fishy Fishy wasn't recommended. When we asked about it, since we had read so much about it, we got a fabulous recommendation and got reservations for the next night. We weren't disappointed. My wife had the best seafood salad and grilled trout and I had chowder... more

Fishy Fishy came highly recommended and we were not disappointed with the quality of the food. Our visit was marred however by a rude waiter. more

This restaurant is phenomenal. The food is amazing, the best seafood place I think I've ever been. I recommend the fish pie, the smoked salmon, and anything with prawns (to those of us who think prawns are shrimp, in kinsale it is langoustine, which is way better than regular shrimp), especially the prawn scampi. The service is great. The view... more

Excellent seafood, great service, good value for money, no complaints at all. I had a crab crumble to start which was great, really light and delicately flavoured, and the fish pie for mains, also fantastic with the emphasis really on the fish rather than on the pie. Couple of things to keep in mind: - opening hours are limited -... more

First went to the Fishy Fishy five years ago so was surprised to see the brand new much larger restaurant down on the quay side. A much better location and more space. But don't forget to check out the original which doubles as a fish shop back in town, definately worth finding! more

Delicious and beautifully presented food in a warm wood-tone restaurant. Though the prices are high, the ingredients are fresh. No reservations are taken so there is often a queue at lunchtime. Right be the harbor in downtown Kinsale. No credit/debit cards accepted. No reservations. Open seven days a week. more

awesome!!
