Summertime and the living is easy, a time when nothing tastes better than delicious seafood served up in one of Ireland’s many beautiful sunny surrounds. Forget the need to flex your oven muscles with seafood en papillote, definitely does not sound so posh in English!! (In a pouch) Leave your kitchens behind and take time to enjoy our prized mouth-watering Dublin Bay Prawns, succulent lobsters, and tongue tantalizing sea bass.

THE SILVERFOX SEAFOOD RESTAURANT (KILMORE 
QUAY, WEXFORD)
Enjoy the picturesque village of Kilmore Quay framed with traditional thatched cottages, combined now with the bustling fishing port. The Silverfox, originally a sandstone beach cottage today sets the ambience for this award winning Seafood Restaurant with their tasteful menus which specialises on locally caught seafood boasting sizzling prawns, traditional Kilmore Quay scallops, pan sealed monkfish and oysters.
OCEAN WILD (CASTLETOWNBERE, CORK)
Ocean Wild with its exposed stoned walls, draped with Irish Artwork, is a culinary gem of west Cork. Run by local sisters Mairead and Eileen O’Driscoll, we don’t think they are related to the Rugby player Brian but who knows, their food tastes every bit as good as he played. This restaurant is situated in the beautiful Beara Peninsula, along the Wild Atlantic way and offers a taste of their magnificent seafood caught locally in Castletownbere fishing port. Their menu brings magic to your table through monkfish curry, Castletownbere Hake…….is your mouth watering????

Boasting modern methods, touched with tradition bringing the purest of local ingredients to life in a harmony of taste and tone, where the kitchen is the centre of their creation.
