Fodor's Expert Review Fish Shop

Irish seafood is finally getting the royal treatment it deserves at this simple but brilliant new eatery in the old market, Smithfield district. The award-winning kitchen serves inventive treasures like whipped hake and dillisk (native seaweed) on sourdough, but don't expect a choice in seafood: you're served a three-course menu focused on what was caught that morning. Salvaged school chairs and tables give it a very casual feel, and the place prides itself on its no-fuss, friendly staff. The twice-fried chips are rumored to be some of the best in a city that really does love deep-frying its spuds.
