There is a reason that everyone rants and raves about Fishy Fishy!! Make reservations and make your stomach happy. The staff is friendly, attentive and knowledgeable. Our server even gave us excellent suggestions of a hike. The food was the best that I had on this trip. No matter what make sure you do not miss out on the sticky toffee. I do have to mention that we had a table near the kitchen. Not once during our meal did we hear the typical kitchen chatter or noise. The fish and chips were delicious and absolutely perfect. 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 read more

We went here for lunch and it was kind of disappointing. First I got the seafood soup. The flavor of the broth was great but there was BARELY any seafood in there. I only found extremely tiny bits of fish and that was the extent of the seafood. The fish and chips were better as the fish tasted fresh. The chips were disappointing though. The place was very empty when I went and the service still was not great. Overall an ok experience. read more

We had a great experience at Fishy Fishy on our first night in Kinsale. The location is great and the restaurant's atmosphere and decor was cute. The food was delicious and the wait staff accommodating and attentive. We had a group of 6 adults and a toddler and fit nicely. The seafood was all cooked perfectly and had delicious flavor. We thought the brown bread was incredible and the waitress told us that it's made with stout- yum! Overall, we enjoy each of our dishes as food. Note- there is a kids menu, but for our American kid, smoked salmon Mac and cheese didn't do it. Overall, great experience- we'd recommend! read more

Okay, Rick Steves recommended Fishy Fishy in his Ireland book, so we went. We were not disappointed. Fish and chips that were out of this world- lightly battered, perfectly cooked and not oily at all. If you only do fish and chips at one place, this would be it. The hummus was yummy, and someone at our table had the pate ands loved it. (Not me! I'm not a fan of any pate.) The service was friendly and thorough. The ambiance is fine. Maybe it's a little up scale, yet lots of clientele was casually dressed, including us. So, you can come as you are (assuming you are casually dressed or better.) I would go again for sure. My sense is that the whole menu needs to be explored! read more

Lunch for two. The area is lovely. Quaint and alive. Said to be foodie town. It was a great experience. Fishy Fishy was off the hook! (Ok. I had to do it). Oysters super. Fish chowder unique and bold. The main courses were awesome. Best bay scallops I've ever had (with a green risotto that was lovely) - and I've dove for scallops in Maine. The heat special was wonderful. Very generous portion. Sticky toffee pudding with ice cream was amazing. Light and not too sweet. Service was awesome. Wish we could go back tomorrow, but we're on our way back up to Dublin. read more

Fantastic. Incredible. We had the oysters, baked lobster, the crab claws, a side of veggies and the seafood chowder. And the crème brûlée. The atmosphere was casual/upscale with lots of families celebrating Easter and enjoying the holiday. Service was really warm and proficient, it was clear they wanted you to feel wanted. Highly recommend as this is a great dining experience for the price. read more

On our day trip to Kinsale, we stopped by Fishy Fishy for lunch & I'm so glad we did. I have celiac disease so eating out can be difficult for me as I have to eat gluten free. However, the staff at Fishy Fishy made me feel so good about what to order! They knew immediately what I could or couldn't eat and were happy to make accommodations for a particular meal I wanted. The fries have a chance of cross contamination unfortunately but I didn't even care in this instance! I had the most tasty risotto with scallops. My husband and I finished off with a GF dessert that was basically like a big meringue with strawberries on top. I also had a cider! My non-gf husband enjoyed his fish and chips. We both had a great meal and I highly recommend it! read more

The food was very good. Hubby had scallops (€36) he said they were excellent. I had Ceasars salad, which was lettuce and a few slices of bread. Along with potatoe skins which truly skins of potato.

Fantastic recommendation from Yelp & our tour guide. Best fish n chips we've tasted so far (just came from London) everything we tried was so delicious and fresh! Must haves are the tempura haddock and wok fried crab claws. Enjoy with a pint of Murphy's! Great service & location makes this a 5 star choice. read more

What a pleasant surprise. In a small town with a big tourist presence, this restaurant stood out. My girlfriend had 2 apps, chicken salad and cold crab (claws and meat). I had the roasted vegetable plate with hummus and edamame. Clean plates all around. Wine selection by the glass was more than adequate. Delicious local apple ice wine. Sticky toffee pudding for dessert was amazing! Another thing that stood out was the age of the staff. Very young, but so very well trained. After working in the food and beverage industry for 45 years, I can say I was impressed by their knowledge and professionalism. When in Kinsale, don't miss Fishy Fishy. read more

We were looking forward to this restaurant as it had good reviews, so we were disappointed when we didn't have the same experience. Our server was lovely but the food was awful. We were in and out in 30 minutes and we did order drinks and eat. I ordered the yellow fin tuna and my mother ordered the fried fish. I order tuna like this often so I know what to expect, but this was inedible and I believe it gave me food poisoning. I only ate a few bites as the texture and smell were off. I cannot prove the food poisoning came from this but it is my best guess. After eating there and interacting with some locals they too have had similar experiences and tell people not to go here (wish we had talked to them first!). read more

The food was fine. The service was horrendous. They want to be a classy restaurant, but they had zero experienced wait staff. One older gentleman had to do everything, while our very young server avoided eye contact. €300 for dinner and no service. Unacceptable. I hope you can hire someone to help, or you're in trouble read more

I love seafood so it's natural that I gravitated to this restaurant during a few trips to Kinsale. This restaurant was recommended by a coworker and I've gone with a group of friends or as a solo outing. It's pretty tough to get a last minute reservation but if you're okay with a little wait at the bar then they'll find a way to fit you in. This restaurant is pretty popular and they take a lot of pride in their dishes. The presentation is great but nothing compares to the delicious taste of flavor. My favorite go to dish is the crab claws in chilli sauce. If the crab claws isn't available I usually ask for any variation of seafood with the sweet chilli sauce. The sauce is so good that I try to enjoy every bit of it and even add it to my rice. I can't wait for my next experience dining at fishy fishy! read more

Truly beautiful spot, especially the patio on a sunny day, and the food was dead on! It's clear they really care about quality ingredients.

There are a ton of good restaurants in Kinsale but I think Fishy Fishy is the best of the lot. Openly, I wondered if this was a bit of a tourist trap given some of the online reviews but boy was I wrong... It starts with the bread. Yes, I know that sounds weird but the brown bread here is some of the best I had in Ireland. Pass the butter, please. We had the Hake and the Monkfish. Both were incredibly fresh with delicate, well-balanced seasonings. We really enjoyed them both but I'll give a few extra points to the Hake. Top notch! We noticed other diners ordering a dessert in a glass and followed their lead by getting the chocolate mousse with hazelnut ice cream. This was somehow both light and decadent. A fantastic way to finish the meal. The servers were all very nice and helpful. Some reviewers complain this place is pricey and I suppose it's a few Euros more than other places in town but I think it's worth it. read more

This is an awesome restaurant, beautifully put together with freshest fish exceptionally prepared.

Fishy Fishy is the quintessential seafood restaurant. Slightly off the Main Street and, we're sure, a favorite of well-off Cork residents in the off-season. The menu greeted us with surprises (fish you have not heard of-- like red grunard), favorites ( fried haddock and chips) and, if you watched Somebody Feed Phil, something to anticipate (Fishy Fish pie). A made-fresh black, grainy bread (complimentary ) set the tone, drinks were excellent (Blacks gin and tonic and a Negroni) a baked Brie appetizer with tempura crumbs. Everything was beautifully presented, served with patient explanation and a smile and delicious. A little on the pricey side but if you want one meal, the one to remember on your Irish vacation, Fishy Fishy will provide it. read more

My friend and I had taken a detour into Kinsale for the afternoon. After popping into one shop and talking to someone who works there we asked where to go get something to eat and they recommended Fishy Fishy. We were given directions and so we walked over and found the venue. The exterior is just adorable. The whole town of Kinsale utilizes these remarkable playful colors on their buildings and Fishy Fishy is no exception. The outside is this pop of bright blue with red shutters. It immediately looked inviting before I even set food inside. Fishy Fishy was a bit of splurge for us as it is definitely a very nice place with crisp white tablecloths and fancy dishes. We thought, what the heck we earned it after the drive we did. I ordered the scallops which were served on top of spinach risotto. I also had a glass of the pinot grigio. The dinner was very good but rich. My friend got a seafood pasta which she enjoyed. Later on in the evening she felt a bit ill and I think that this dish may have been too heavy for her. I attribute this to her maybe eating too much of it then we had a ride back which may have been a bad combination. If you are driving down the winding Irish roads after a rich meal at Fishy Fishy maybe order something on the lighter side! I thought this was a nice place to come and the seafood was certainly fresh and scrumptious. We had good service and the ambiance was nice as well. read more

Excellent ambiance, large portions, and great fish. Had the halibut and it was a large portion with great sauce, carrots. The best of the meal was the side of chips. Perfectly cooked, crunchy and golden brown. I had a Moscow mule that was also delicious. If you are looking for a nicer meal this is a great stop in kinsale! read more

Great experience and, as the name suggests, specialises in fish dishes. My starter fish plate was divine with a selection of fish nibbles, each one of which outclassed the other. To be fair, it was a meal in itself but, selfless as I am, I soldiered on through the remaining courses. My monkfish main was not only huge but cooked to perfection, tender and moist, a combination difficult to achieve in my kitchen ! Being a martyr to chips, I added a portion of French fries to my order and these were devoured and, no, I never share chips. That's a rule! I did, however, share a particularity varied cheese board with my companion and, again, we agreed there was plenty for two in it. A couple of bottles of Ora Castillo rounded off a superb dining experience before we waddled back to our hotel. Fishy Fishy is not cheap but represents a good balance of price and quality. Recommended. read more

Overpriced and underwhelming food. 4 out of 4/in my table were not impressed. Too many other good restaurants to choose from

Lovely place to dine. Two dishes were off the specials and were divine. We loved the wok fried crab fingers. Great sauce. Very intricate. We also loved the sole. Quite nice. The fish soup on the regular menu was disappointing. I love fish soup; especially those with tomatoes base. This was born by. Very little fish. No veggies. Little flavor. The service was friendly but slow. Nice evening. read more
