Editorial Review
Gannet Fishmongers
The Atmosphere
“The counter west of Ireland chefs name first when you ask where the fish comes from.”
Gannet sits in the market quarter of Galway, a short walk from Sheridans, and supplies a large share of the good kitchens in the city and out into Connemara. The counter is small, the turnover is fast, and the staff will tell you plainly what is worth buying that morning and what is not. If you are cooking in a rented house anywhere between Galway and Clifden, this is where you shop, and it is where you buy Kelly oysters without going to the beds yourself.
Rooms Worth Requesting
What it actually feels like.
Ask them to gut and fillet whatever you buy. Whole turbot is the thing worth splashing on for a house dinner.
Why we recommend it
A space that justifies the journey.
Chefs name it unprompted. In a fishing country that is the only recommendation for a fish counter that counts.
