Seafood Restaurant on Skerries Harbour
Paulo Tullio/ Irish Independant
It's a simple menu, there are no complicated dishes on it and it's fairly priced. By that, I mean that there are no extraordinarily cheap deals as you'd find in Dublin right now, but it's not expensive either. A few of the main courses break the €20 barrier -- the large prawn and crab-claw plate is €24.95 and so is the large plate of crab claws alone. €23.95 will get you medallions of fillet steak, but, apart from these dishes, the others are between €13 and €19.
Obviously, fish and seafood figure largely on the menu, but there are dishes available for committed carnivores. Marian, who doesn't have a big appetite, decided on just a main course -- the crispy stir-fried duck. I started with the calamari and followed that with a big bowl of mussels, ordering a side of chips so I'd have the classic moules frites.
The wine list is a fairly basic affair on the back of the menu, listing some quarter bottles, seven whites and eight reds, mostly well-known brands and all fairly priced -- about half of them priced under €20 and the other half under €25. I ordered a glass of Carmen Sauvignon Blanc at €5.50, which came in a quarter carafe and was effectively two glasses, which was great value.
