Ireland Is Now One of the Best Places to Visit for Seafood Lovers

"A Tramore beachfront restaurant on the lower floor of a Victorian home where a handwritten daily menu highlights the catch of the day with simple accompaniments like brown butter, salsa verde, or aioli; run by Peter Hogan and Jumoke Akintola (who previously opened a cult Fish Shop in Dublin), the kitchen favors fast-fried fillets with a tempura-like crunch and works closely with Kilmore Quay day-boat skippers who supply brill, plaice, red mullet, John Dory, and brown crab." - Taras Grescoe

"Situated enviably close to the beach in a small seaside town on Ireland's south coast is a double-fronted Victorian residence looking out over an attractive garden – and in the basement, its owners lovingly run this sweet bistro. The concise menu of classic, flavour-packed dishes understandably gives seafood prime billing; the fish and chips is one of the best versions of the dish you can find, with super-fresh fish that changes depending on the day's catch, served with perfectly crisped chips. The cellar wine list has some interesting vintages." - Michelin Inspector
