When we got there they told us that it was only available on the first tuesday of every month . Pretty dissapointed as I didn't see that anywhere in all the advertising they did. So not really a great thing afterall, kind of wondering why they even bother offering it at all.

We accept and welcome your feedback and see it as an opportunity to improve. I would like to confirm that our fish is portioned on site with each portion weighting 160g which is larger than the industry average of 140g . Our Fish sizes may differ but the amount of fish in a portion would be the same e.g. some portions may be longer and thinner and others shorter and thicker which on appearance could look smaller. Our fish is delivered fresh and is a far more superior and costly product to fresh frozen fish which is used by the majority of take aways including some well known names. Our batter is homemade and results in a thinner coating which could also affect the appearance again making the portion appear smaller. The reality is that most takeaways portion size (unbattered) is about 140g average but as the batter expands and is much heavier than our it appears to be a much larger portion overall but has a smaller and inferior fish content. Regarding our chip portions, we have never received any negative comments on portion size, in fact its been quite the opposite. Typically our chip portions would be nearly twice the size of a supermacs chip portions. Also our chips are home cut chips so wouldn't normally be compared to Supermacs chips. To finish, and so as you feel that i am not discounting your experience or views in any way, I wish to acknowledge that you may indeed have received a smaller portion but would like to assure you that if that was the case it was the exception rather than the rule and I hope you’ll revisit our shop again and allow us the opportunity to prove this to you.RegardsJames

I ate in the fish and chip shop near Tigh Coilis a few weeks ago (can't remember the name of it), I have to say it was superb, loads of thick home made chips and 3 pieces of mackerel in the fish box when I opened it. Everything was cooked to perfection and it kept well in the taxi journey home also. I thought it was miles ahead of mcDonaghs myself.

Compared to Giovannis in Oranmore and Lucas in Athenry the fish was around 1 third or half the size and the large chips was around a supermacs size portion. A large chips usually fills a dinner plate from the other two. Taste wise to me the chips were about the same with the fish not as nice as giovannis and the OH thought they were nicer than either of the above.

Not the frozen shoite they seem to peddle everywhere these days. +1 for Harry Fitz. Had rotten ones in Pizza Shack last week, tasted like the oil had cooked about a million pieces of fish prior to my chips.
