Kettle of fish is a fantastic chip shop, possibly the best in Ireland, have you been? They also have a place in Galway city.

Wouldnât be too far away from it but have never gone. Didnât expect that recommendation as I treat Gort as a place to be avoided at all costs. I wouldnât even go to the mart there.

I must confess regarding Bobby Byrneâs fish and chips that it was my eating companion had them that day and said it was gorgeous. I did not have them and that was my first time ateing in there so more fool me it seems to listen to the opinion of a woman when it comes to proper fish and chips. I should have known better. She has never even eaten fish and chips from England and is not a member of the Limerick chippers social club so her opinion is worthless. Apologies if I have inconvenienced anyone.
at least you have eaten proper fish and chip in England, so you know what youu are talking about

very hard to beat Enzoâs in Ennis for a lovely crispy chip
It was there before the bypass and I stopped one time on the way back from Galway by chance, massive selection of proper fresh fish, unbelievable chips and excellent mushy peas.
Iâve no reason to go through Gort now with the bypass but Iâve gone the small bit out of my way quite a few times, my missus loves Coole so we often go up for a day during the summers.

I loved going down the local chippie for a fish supper. Friday evenings especially it was a real tradition and it would be on everyoneâs minds all day. Then 6 or 7 oâclock in you go to the back of a long queue to get your treat. Everyone queuing in an orderly fashion with no thick ignorant bastards trying to sneak ahead of anyone else. The anticipation was a big thing. And then you get to the top and give your order, there would be great excitement. Iâd always get a fish and chip myself, I wouldnât try to be too adventurous. That always done me. Then watch as your man takes the fish by the tail, batters it and into the sizzling oil with it. I remember the sound off the oil Iâll never forget it. Youâd have a spring in your step walking out of there and Iâd break into a half run getting back to the gaff to unravel the white paper for the treasure within.

unreal, I love the way you described that, youâd get a right good portion in England too, youâd be full for the evening
Itâs rare to get real cod these days. The shit that Dickhead Byrnes peddles is hake.
Food in England is generally gash also. The Brits have to smother everything in salt, pepper, sauces and relish because their food is so bland and tasteless. Bit like themselves, really.
Isnât Indian food their favourite food? Theyâd die above on a cross for a good bacon and cabbage or Irish stewâŚtho itâs sickening the way they stole the Irish breakfast and sell it as an English breakfast the useless cuntsâŚdonât they deep fry Mars bars in the UK? 
bacon and cabbage ffs, fucking peasant food
@Julio_Geordio is dead right about the chips in Luiâ's
We often send a junior ccha over for real chips to accompany our grub. Great portions too
Iâve gotten nice chips from the place next to the big centra shop in Raheen as well.
To be honest there isnât a bad chipper in Limerick but thereâs not a great one either.
They do in Scotland anyway. It is a delicacy for them.
I got a lovely battered lamb cutlet in Brisbane one time

Enzoâs on Willliam Street is great chipper .
Iâve never gotten a take-away from the place, always gone for the more socially refined sit-down option. Smashing tucking into a plate of take-away chips and a battered cod/sausage on a real plate with a knife and fork rather than ating them out of a vinegarating bag in your car with the windows fogging up.
Done them both and both great .
Just cooked an unrale steak and bought a bag of chips from Luis to go on the side. Fucking savage they were. Best chipper in Limerick. FACT
