Best fish and chips?

vicwatson

Dooly’s seem to be temporarily closed

Where’s the best in Waterford?

Any places freshly battering the fish?

The Marian in town or East Pier in Dunmore East are my choices.

They were open yesterday too.

Best in the city is Johnny Walkers in my opinion,and in the county would have to be East Pier in Dunmore,also And Chips in Dungarvan is really good too.

The Marian and Johnny Walkers in the city in my humble opinion

doolys tramore is the best esp with sea air hunger. In the city Walkers also good. The place in Dunmore is quality

I was disappointed with eunices powers anchips in Dungarvan

Danny's in Barrack St is nice if you can find a chisel to remove the batter, but dooleys is the nicest by far in my opinion.

East Pier in Dunmore East for fish and O'Shea's in Dunmore East for chips

vicwatson

Tks for all replies

I would have to go with East Pier in Dunmore East. The fish is freshly dipped in batter to order rather than made in advance and refried.

Any of the Dooleys in Tramore would be a close second.

Another +1 for Dannys. Very tasty fish and chips and very big portions.

They'd be cold by the time you'd get to eat them together

How big are those Pollocks?

It's definitely not cod anyway, could be hake?

As your man in the Marian used to say, cod is too expensive. Any of the chippers who are selling you "fresh" cod is either frozen or not cod at all.

So we're being cod the whole time?

Esse85

Chippers rarely use fresh cod due to cost and waste.

Their version of 'fresh' is serving it up to you there and then.

Its a shame that neither of these deliver on justeat, the chippers on just eat in waterford arent great.

MartyMcFly84

Yeah its rare that you find Cod in chippers these days.

Its mostly Hake, Pollock. Cod has been severely overfished, and is a fairly expensive fish.

Looking forward to trying that and east pier.

O'Shea's probably do the best combination of both, I found the fish to be nice over at East Pier but the hand full of chips that came with very greasy and not as nice. Don't think I'd be in a rush to go back especially with the long queues.

Used to be a great chipper back in the day. Remember stopping there regularly after a game down the RSC. Has changed hands plenty of times since afaik. I personally haven't tried it in a long time.

Thanks. Might check it out next time, always seems to be crowded when I pass, and I always mentally brace myself for some "interesting" parking if I have to turn left at the roundabout, ready for the 3 or 4 cars which are mostly sitting on the road!

And chips in Dungarvan is delicious

I'm not a big fish eater, but Robertos in Lisduggan would be my favourite chipper at the moment.

I got Fish and Chips in the Golden Fry for the first time in many years, after a walk in Tramore on Friday and I was very impressed! A mountain of chips and the fish was golden brown and cooked perfectly.

I had heard mixed reviews when the new owners initially took over but I couldn't fault them on this. It was around 7pm on Friday so the place was busy; 7 people behind the counter and 2 delivery drivers. They must be doing something right.

It is a bit of a bollox trying to pass by there though as others have mentioned with the artistic display of parking which goes on.

I know its right on a roundabout so parking is limited but to be fair you could just park up the road near the Centra or if you are pushed, the parking lot in the church across the road. I guess some people are just lazy though. I wouldn't dream of wrecking my tyres on that high footpath around the corner!!

If people could drive in the door they would, people are lazy AF! It's a death trap trying to pull out there by Ballytruckle green too with people parking outside the ****ing Florist! :mad:
