Our Delicious story
The Fish Basket is the creation of Peter and Elaine Shanahan.
We are serving fresh fish & chips locally sourced from West Cork.


Cooking is an art and patience a virtue. Careful shopping, fresh ingredients and an unhurried approach are nearly all you need.
There is one more thing - love. Love for food and love for those you invite to your table.
With a combination of these things, you can be an artist.Keith Floyd
Just a few of many positive comments about our food!
Lovely food,bit disappointed with the sharing plate in comparison to ordering your own,a lot smaller portion but was tasty regardless.
Called earlier today.excellent food. Outstanding friendly staff. What an amazing beach. Already planning a return visit....
We are so delighted to have the Fish Basket so close by . We had a fabulous lunch today:
Scampi and chips
And crab claws and mussels .
Both dishes were amazing. So fresh , just as fish should be. And real chips: not from a frozen bag...
Great addition to local food scene.
Well done all there!!!
just back from a lovely evening at The Fish Basket.Warm welcome comfortable table great service.
2 John Dory bring your own wine magic night out.Our friends had a share plate of hake scampi and squid.
All in all great food served and cooked by people who know how to source great fish and cook with the care.
on the shore line of one of West Cork's most beautiful beaches.
Looking forward to returning soon.
The breakfast was amazing .... cycled from cork city to the fish basket then back by kinsale ... beautiful route and a nice breakfast in the middle of it
.... the lads are sound too????????????
Pleased to visit The Fish Basket in these premises. A step up from a car park by the N71. Have been looking forward to coming here on our holiday in Ireland. The fish tacos were excellent. Friendly service.
The cakes were really good as well.
After a lovely walk on the Long strand popped in here for breakfast... The place was packed ... Lovely atmosphere friendly staff and was so great to see the owner Peter having a friendly word with all ... Would highly recommend the scones and flat white were scrumptious... Looking forward to my next visit ... 10 outta 10
1 star for fresh fish - avoid "platter - enough for 2" - ?? 2 toddlers perhaps - minus 4 stars for poor value
Not what we were expecting, so much more. Beautiful crispy batter on perfectly cooked fish, mussels to die for and if you didn't want fish and chips, other great choices available. We all agreed it was the best seafood around. Really friendly and helpful people and we were also able to sit outside with our dog, who enjoyed it as well. Can't wait to go again.
