The restaurant itself is quaint but utilizes its space well for seating. We were able to get a table around dinner time without reservations. They have allergens labeled and a gluten-free batter for their fish, so it was a no-brainer what I was getting! We all 4 had the same thing and enjoyed the crunchy batter and crispy chips. The gf version was not a letdown, and I was quite pleased. The mussels appetizer was also delicious. We enjoyed friendly, helpful service, food came out quickly, and portions were generous. It's definitely a great spot.

The crab avocado salad was fresh, delicious and a great healthy option. Along with the salad, my husband and I shared the fried calamari. The jam it comes with pairs AMAZING with the calamari, it was so yummy. The salad is on the smaller side, so I would definitely suggest pairing it with a shareable appetizer! I also got the carafe of Prosecco, and that was a great pairing with the salad.

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.

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.

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.
