Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

We had been travelling all day and did not want to cook. We spotted the Seafood shack and ordered the Seafood box. It was delicious. The prawns were large and juicy, as was the calamari, the fish was perfectly battered and cooked and the chips...were generous in their portion and size. Can thoroughly recommend this place.More

Have been meaning to visit this prominent buisness in Killybeggs for years since first seeing it. Either was not hungry or missed opening times, but not today. When in Donegal, we made it a priority to try it. We were not disappointed. We had seafood...sharing box with chips €14. It also came with 2 sauces, we choose pink sauce and garlic mayo sauce. Food was lovely presented in cardboard box. All was roasting hot when we got it. Box came with smoked haddock, cod goujons, scampi and calamari. Also skin on fries. All fish was lovely crispy batter and fantastic quality fish. I tried calamari, but that one is just not my taste, my wife eat it though and said it was lovely. Not fault of seafood shack, just my personal like. I DID try it though All other fish in box was my kind of thing, and was delicious. A first class experience, that I will definitely return to many times.As far as I can remember, it closes at 7.30 pm each evening, much earlier than You would expect. Make a point of visiting and remember closing time.More

Best scampi ever had. Friendly staff even though they were extremely busy. Great menu choice. I had the seafood box but if going again would get the scampi.

Worth the 20-25 min wait. We had the seafood box and only complaint was there was one piece if scampi in each of our boxes. Kids cod and chips was huge.

Technically 'fish and chips' or 'cod goujons and chips' are indeed seafood. I visited as the seafood shack as it had been much recommended and forewent a lobster roll at Sleive Liag to get our lunch there. We were bitterly disappointed to find it was...a bog standard fish and chips van. I cannot speak for the fish and chips as we left and had sandwiches when we got home. Would be great at a port world famous for its seafood to have say: prawns, langoustine, clams, mussels, crab or lobster on offer. I can get fish and chips anywhere.More

We were really looking forward to trying this place however our meals ended up in the bin. The chips were very unpleasant frozen ones and the calamari was inedible with every single ring still containing the elastic membrane- very disgusting and off putting

One of the best fish and chips I have ever had. All fried freshly as you order. Delicious! This is well worth a visit. It is an enterprise linked to Andersons Boathouse restaurant. Very welcoming and helpful staff. Really enjoyed the cod goujons and chips.

Absolutely the best fish and chips in my life. Very nice friendly staff. We arrived at 12:30 and they were just setting up. Absolutely fresh from the sea that morning and delicious sauce dips included. Calamari was also excellent

Very good value, best chips we've ever had, fish was good but the haddock and scampi were particularly nice. Freshly cooked, not greasy. Served in cardboard boxes, much more eco friendly than polystyrene. Would definitely buy from here again if back in the area.
