Where to buy fish in south dublin - cheap?

mprop

Hey,

I'm doing a lot of training at the moment and my high protein diet has been having a serious effect on my bank account.

I remember as a kid there were places that my parents would go to buy fish which would be cheaper and fresher than the shops.

I'm living around Stillorgan / Dundrum - do you know of anywhere that sells fish a bit cheaper that Dunnes or similar shops? Those Salmon darnes you get in the shops are just too small! Need more!

Same goes for meats actually but my butcher is pretty decent when it comes to deals on chicken fillets...

Not sure if it's necessarily cheaper than the supermarket but I like Fenlons in Stillorgan shopping centre for both meat and fish, left-hand side of shop is meat and fish on the right. They have a good selection and it's very fresh.

Hi, if your willing to go out to Walkinstown, there is a fish shop there that I would consider fresh. It stocks fish that are mostly wild.

There is a fish shop on the end of the east pier in Dun laoghaire.

But fish just isn't cheap any more.
Overfishing and fuel costs etc.

Cabvistons Sandycove Dublin; €17.50/kg Sea Bream.

Dilynnio

I would recommend taking a road trip to Kilmore Quay Co. Wexford.

The fish shop there sells the most amazing fish at really cheap prices. I usually go down once a month and stock up and then freeze.

An example.....a salmon darn feeds 2 of us!

They pretty much sell everything and fresh off the boats.

Plus its a gorgeous place so you could stop off there for lunch.

1) Cavistons isn't cheap
2) 17.50/kg isn't cheap.
3) Can you spot me a fiver? You seem to have plenty of money.

seanobs

Yeah, it was my fathers €20 so no, 'I dont be' lending out fivers. Yes Cavistons is expensive. I knew that goin in and I was told that coming home. Good fish - my father is to cook it tonight.
I would recommend the fish shop in Walkinstown as would my father but my mother wouldn't if you know what I mean.
It isn't cheap looking good! :-)

I signed up to a text services a while ago in Fenelons. Every couple of weeks I get a text off them with a special offer of 40% of certain types of meat (eg. sirloin) on certain days.

I haven't seen a fish offer yet, but it might be worth going in and saying can you sign up to it and ask them if they do deals on fish. They might take the hint;)

The supermarkets regularly have frozen wild fish on special. Tesco have wild alaskan fillets half price at moment works out cheap per kg and Lidl have pollock cheap. I dont notice much difference in frozen stuff once you cook it in nice seasoning/sauce.

Does someone have a rough idea what oysters cost? Please see attached pic of tonights Sea-Bream cooked by my father. I don't know the ingredients but I imagine all from Garlic to Brown rice vinegar to kusu.. etc. Served with spinach and brown rice.

Not really.
More than clams and mussels in cavistons anyhow.

If you would take frozen as an option then I would go to lidl, they have loads of variaties of white fish I never even heard of before, unbreaded fillets and they are about €10/kg on average.

For your info: a local businessman has set up his fresh fish shop here in the quay BUT, he does deliver to Dublin, twice a week, direct to your home.

Check out his website: John
www.fishybusinesskilmorequay.com

He can quote you prices and tell you what's available.

fresh fish isn't that cheap really.

If you are serious about fish smoked mackeral fillets are 3/4 for about €3 in tesco.
I buy a pack a week.

BUt if you want fresh then pay for it.

I know its not fresh but I've been eating a lot of tins of steamed mackeral fillets .. really tasty. You can get them in Dunnes.

The Davestator

I'm not sure if its still open, but there was a great place for frozen fish and meat just off the Bray north exit. (instead of going into bray, go left at the roundabout and its a few hundred metres on your right in a small industrial estate. Mad prices when i was buying there about a year ago.
