What User likes about Fishy Fishy:
Anniversary meal with family. Lobster was excellent, but could have done with being a little warmer. Organic salmon was beautiful and battered fish and chips very good. White Rioja was stunning.Service was very good even when the restaurant is busy. Not the cheapest in Kinsale but worth it as you have to pay for quality. Will return soon View all feedback. What User doesn't like about Fishy Fishy:
Disappointed as I was really looking forward to dining here. Service wasn't great- host not very welcoming and then drinks (even water) took a long time to arrive. A few minutes after ordering I was informed that my starter wasn't available and I felt rushed in choosing another.Then both starter and main courses came straight after each other with not even a short gap. The food itself was good (apart from the salad b... View all feedback.

Excellent as always... we visit every time in kinsale

Visitors to the restaurant had a mixed experience. Some praised the excellent seafood dishes like fish and chips, while others found the service disappointing and slow. The staff's friendliness and efficiency varied greatly, with some facing long wait times and less-than-welcoming attitudes. The food quality itself received mixed reviews, with some praising dishes like the fish soup and others disappointed by issues like over-saucing. Overall, the restaurant seemed to excel in some areas, such as its seafood dishes, but struggled in others, particularly in terms of service and consistency. Reservations were recommended due to popularity.
