Good Fishmongers in Dublin

Chris_5339762

Hi all,

I've found a good butchers in Rathfarnham (Wilsons) but I'm looking for a good place to buy fish. Something of the same quality as the meat you'd get in Wilsons. Preferably without having to drive to Howth!

Any recommendations?

Hi,

Feeneys Fish, Barton Drive Rathfarnham is a good fishmongers. There is also a good butcher in the same block (George King Butchers). I detour that way to get fish and often pop into the butchers at the same time.

Kish Fish in Coolock, they have also a shop in town as far as I know. I buy there every week, always fresh and good quality.

Kish fish is beside Church St. There is usually plenty of parking outside the door. The prices are pretty good and the fish is excellent

Rays Catch in the Rosemount shopping centre (think that's the name, behind the library) in Rathfarnham was always good when I was living in the area

http://stevieconnollyseafood.com/ not far from you 135 Rathmines Rd. It is about 5 doors up from the superb James Lawlor Butchers who also sells fish

There's a fishmongers in Sundrive (not bad, but not a huge selection) and one at Ashleaf (which I've never been in to). The Superquinn in Sundrive always did good fish. The two mentioned above on the Upper Rathmines Road are the best nearby though.

It's actually shocking (IMO) how few fishmongers there are in the city.

It is shocking. Us Irish mainly only seem to like fish if someone else is cooking it for us in a takeaway or restaurant scenario. I think many people are afraid of cookiing fish as it can be quite delicate. I think also the fishmongers that are out there need to innovate like many butchers have done and go down the road of providing oven ready fish in a marinade or sauce with other accompaniments on sale. The fish section in my local Dunnes can put any fish into an oven bag and then dump in your choice of a few toppings like garlic and herb bread crumbs, oils, etc. Then then seal up the bag and you just dump it in the oven, I even think the microwave would do it too if you were stuck. Its a god system which means you don't even have to handle the raw fish before cooking, just dump in and go.

Thanks for the recommendations! Will start trying these out... nothing like a good bit of fried cod (or some scollops)

Near Ashleaf, sorry, not inside. It's on the main road going towards the KCR.
