Pricey enough at €8.50 but the price was worth it. You get two battered fish pieces and a helping of chips, all tucked into a paper recyclable tray. The chips were good, had a unique taste to them can't figure it out but was nice. The fish pieces well they just melted in your mouth. It really is their speciality. on display is a few live crabs which I presume are on the menu for anyone who wants to try, maybe next time I might :) Only downside is it's a take away only (of course since it's located on a trailer on the pier) and with that if its cold or rainy you'll be queuing up and eating in the bad weather. Still if you are out walking it's going to be good enough weather It can also get very busy as there is a lot of walkers around that area And parking is limited in the area but you may find a space in front of the nearby yacht club.

I decided to walk a little further down and see what restaurant options were open and available. I had been craving fish, especially being so close to the water that I decided to enjoy my evening meal at Cavistons, and I'm so glad I did. It was only me and a line full of delivery drivers and it didn't dawn on me that everyone was still at the pubs watching the game. The environment was so perfect and relaxing and the food was AMAZING. One of my favorite Irish food combos done to perfections. It was all so filling and delicious. I would recommend 7 stars if I could.

The oysters were displayed on a bed of seaweed. And they brought to your table and explain to you all the ingredients then torch in front of you. I love all the combinations to max the flavor. I wanted to try the Dublin shrimp but unfortunately they ran out, I was told usually ran out at lunch. So I ordered crab on toast, really big size crab meat with cucumber on a yellow crab paste. Seafood linguine was do yummy. It came with a lot of local baby mussels and some shrimps. Cooked in wine and garlic sauce.

And a wall of paper towels that customers from all around the world have written messages on -- love that. We got the oyster sampler, which is a perfect pre-dinner snack size for two. It comes with four different kinds of oysters, two each, eight total. The waitress explained the taste profiles of each type: one was salty, one was mineral-y, another creamy. I thought the creamy oysters took the cake. Pro tip: come during Happy Hour and get a euro off each oyster!

Atmosphere: We arrived around 1:30pm on a Saturday to a busy restaurant with one table left. Make a reservation if you can! Drinks: I had a local blond ale that was very hoppy but paired very well with my fish and chips. E also had a bottle of Prosecco for the table that were great with our oysters. Food: wow. These were the best fish and chips I've ever had and I've had them all. My friend got the open face fish pie which is really more like a fish chowder with mashed potatoes. It was to die for. The flavor was spot on. If you're looking for a place to eat I'm Howth, which let's be honest there's not much else to do, Deep is the only place to go. You can thank me later.

From the begining to the end the experience was amazing. We had set menu special for the Valentines day- it was around 45€ per person - starter main dessert. We had oysters, scallops for the starter; for the main we got half lobster each and dessert my husband got sticky pudding and I had baileys ice cream. Everything was fresh and tasty. Staff was really polite, also they have music band which is coming every night. Enjoyable experience, just sad I couldn't see the sea in front of the restaurant because it was dark :) but iam sure we will come a little bit earlier next time.

They have the best oysters! The plan for the day was to drive to Howth and explore the town. But…read moreheavy rains and wind ruined those plans. Since we were on this side of the town, we decided to make the most of it and look for a meal of seafood. I had Octopussy's Tapas bookmarked when researching for the trip, so we decided to stop in for lunch. It was a Thursday at around 1:30, and the restaurant was almost full. It's a very small restaurant and it's mostly high top tables with bar stools, so it wasn't exactly looking baby-friendly, since had our 8-month old and a stroller with us. Luckily, they have a small back room (literally a room that can probably seat 4-6 people) that was available, and they seat us back there. It was nice and cozy, and cute - decorated like you were on a ship. Here is what we ordered: -Carlingford Oysters (served in the shell with fresh lemon) - these oysters were everything! They were big, shucked properly, and tasted super fresh. It didn't need anything but the lemon but they did recommend us trying their housemade hot sauce. We did and we loved it, and ended up buying a bottle to take home. We also ended up ordering some more oysters for dessert (lol) -Seafood Chowder (squid, mussels, smoked coley, & prawns served with homemade brown bread) - this was full of seafood. It is heavy though since chowder is cream-based so I would recommend sharing this, as opposed to ordering one on your own. The brown bread was also very nice -Seafood Paella (paella rice, chorizo, mussels, gambas, squid rings, and smoked coley) - another dish filled with seafood. They don't skimp out here! I could have done without the squid rings (they tasted rubber-bandy, like they're from frozen), and the smoked coley. I'm not a huge fan of smoked foods. I didn't really taste it in the chowder - maybe the cream covered it up, but I was able to taste it more in the paella -Whiskey Scallops (cooked in whiskey butter) - very rich but the scallops were good. You definitely want to dip some of the brown bread in this sauce There were so many other dishes we wanted to try but we had to stop ourselves from ordering too much for two people. Overall, it was a great meal and at these prices for seafood?! You really can't beat it.
