There’s nothing like good seafood by the sea.

And in one of Cork’s smallest fishing villages, one rolling restaurant consistently enjoys rave reviews from foodies who are after more than a chipper-standard battered cod.

Now open every weekend at The Blackbird bar in Ballycotton, Trawlerboyz are wowing hungry customers with a selection of creative seafood dishes… all ideal for ticking into with a pint or a crisp glass of white wine.

Naturally, they do a mean fish and chips, freshly coated and fried to perfection with a homemade tartar sauce for dipping and a hearty scoop of fries.

Then there’s the mussels; doused in white wine sauce and served in big steaming bowls with a hunk of sourdough for mopping up the last drops.

The seafood chowder is fresh and authentic, ideal for a lunch stop after a stroll on the cliffs just down the road.

If you like your seafood spicy, they’ll also do you a box of tempura prawns and flash-friend calamari with a sweet chilli dip – one of the tastiest summer suppers around at a very reasonable tenner.

Trawlerboyz are serving at the Blackbird on Fridays, 4:30pm-8:30pm, Saturdays 1pm-8:30pm and Sundays 1pm-7:30pm.
