Best Fish & Chips in Dublin

dixiefly

I know that it's not the healthiest option but could I ask everyone to nominate their best Fish & Chips in Dublin. I know that Burdocks will get many takers but are there any other places worth going the distance for?
A nomination for northside, city centre and southside would be great.


thanks

not really a takeaway but the kingfisher on parnell street has awesome fish and chips

Aldo's and Borza's are pretty good (Cornelscourt and Donnybrook respectively). To be honest i think Burdock's isn't as amazing as most people would have you believe, but anywhere with an Italian name usually does the job :rolleyes:

last time i was in leo burdocks (christ church) it was pretty special... lovely fresh chips and a nice fresh peice of smoked cod... now i did have about 10pints in me... so that may have been a fator...

but in general i would say Café Ciara in howth does the best fish+chips in all the land.

fuscardi on capel steet do a lovely 1 and 1

Thanks a million guys, will have to start "working" on these (within reason of course).

No. Burdocks in Rathmines. The fish & chips plus the nicest staff you could wish to meet.

God, I'm getting hungry thinking about it. Is it wrong to have fish and chips for breakfast?

I think Borza in Perrystown (between Crumlin and Kimmage) is lovely.

You dont have to be pissed to enjoy a good kebab here.
(that would make a good ad for the radio!!)

The standard has definately slipped in the last while though. A few years ago, they really were great.

Maybe you are right.

I haven't been there in over 2yrs

olaola

Tonis, Inchicore. HAHM!

Thumpette

I dont eat fish myself- but I do love a good battered sausages and chips from beshoffs in Howth. Portion sizes could do with being a wee bit bigger- but deligh all the same!

Fusco's on Cork street has savage chips,
other than that christchurch Burdocks is way better than the other ones

messrs

The Aprile on the corner of Lennox Street does the best chips in dub, not sure bout the fish part though!

Harolds+

Burdocks is overated. Its a pile of grease.

The Chipper in Rathgar is lovely. Its clean and fresh. Its great when you are full of sherries and starving for something to eat

what is a "1 and 1"

Gavin "shels"

Apriles on South Richmond St, lovely chips and are open till mad late.
Fusco's on Meath St (it's not on Cork St as someone mis-posted)
Beshoffs on Ballsbridge
Bistro at Leonards Corner and Clanbrassil St (my locals)
Gino's in Rialto and Burdocks at Christchurch, basically for lovely scampi.



For the more restuarant type fish and chips, it has to be the fish and chips in the Bull and Castle ar Christchurch. € 13.25 for the nicest battered haddock you'll ever eat and it's beer batter aswell :pac: also the home made chips/wedge yokes are amazing.

Fish and chips. It must be an old Dublin thing. My aul fella used to call fish and chips a one and one.

Beshoffs in Howth on a nice evening FTW!

dlambirl

not in any particular order:

• Leo Burdocks (Christ Church & Phibsboro)
• Golden Chip Phibsboro
• Fucardis Capel Street

cassiedoll

always has and always will be Burdocks near christ church. there was nothing like it. Getting chips and scampi all wrapped up in real newspaper.

i dont venture over to the southside much but between the age of 3 to 17...it was my favourite fish and chip shop

Lundegaard

A notable mention for my old chipper; Matassa's in Tallaght.

Feckin' great food, especially the chips, sausages, fish and the tastiest chicken burgers known to man, well this man anyway.

Better than your Borza's and Macari's etc.

And now I feel homesick and hungry.

Bluebluesky

So keeping it southside hit me with the top five in order please

Burdocks are not that great IMO.

+1 for Howth

If that is the Cafe near the Pier I would agree.
I asked the Italian fellow "do you use frozen cod" He gave me a really dirty look.

Anyway, When it was ready it was one of the best fish / chip ever.

Bluebluesky

Bullvine u can do better than that - come on we are talking top 5 here!!

Nothingcompares

I think by in large, chippers are fairly consistent in their products, they're an odd couple of awful ones and an odd couple of great ones. The best ones, in my opinion are:

Beshoff's of Howth for Fresh cod and chips or scampi and chips.
Fingal Cafe Swords for Snackbox (but the fresh cod is also great)
Burdocks of Christchurch for the Fresh cod and chips.

rubberducky99

Liberos - Deansgrange, the standard to work from.
All things considered I'll give it a 7

Ironbar - I have respect for that, you do not deviate from what you know to be good fine dining. Stick with it

The Minstrel

Beshoff's on O'Connell St. A Dublin institution.

Bluebluesky

Thanks!!

My Top 3 on the Southside
1. Bistro Clanbrassil St
2.Fusco's Meath St
3. Beshoffs in Howth

Leo Burdocks (Christ Church) has gone way down hill over the years.:(

My favourite thing about Burdock's is the list of famous people who have eaten there - every second name spelled incorrectly. Love it!

By the way, Howth is on the Northside.

Hole in the wall Pub/restaurant, blackhorse ave beside phoenix park does a great fish and chips. little bit expensive but it literally melts in the mouth.
