J Sheekey has served seafood and fish at this site since 1896, so it’s fair to expect them to excel in this arena, and although there are vegetarian and meat options for those who don’t fancy fish, you’d really be missing out if you went for these. A perfect introduction is the sautéed skate cheeks with bacon and mushrooms, a mild tasting soft-textured fish combined with the salty flavours of the pork. This dish is perfectly executed, with none of the fatty flavours that sometimes comes through with skate or bacon.

Moving onto the main courses, the world famous Sheekey’s fish pie, is a legend not to be missed. With creamy mashed potato topping and smoky salmon and cod hiding beneath it, this is a real crowd pleaser and totally indulgent comfort food - there’s nothing more satisfying on the menu.
