We had the most enjoyable time, excellent, fresh seafood, and an education surrounding fresh scallops.

We had the restaurant to ourselves and asked for recommendations from Paddy, the owner who was the only one working that night. He brought us out some delicious fish and we lingered over dinner and... More

A friend took me as a treat to the Skipper Restaurant in Ventry last September - it's in a wonderful location overlooking magnificent Ventry Bay - and I was delighted to get to know the place, as I will be going back whenever I can. I am a fish lover and can be quite picky, but my hake was cooked... More
