The Oyster Tavern

Recent  Testimonial
Winter can be pretty inclement on the Dingle Peninsula, but there's a cosy view from The Oyster Tavern in The Spa, on the Tralee to Fenit road. This bar and restaurant dosen't look much from without, but inside I find stripwood panelling, heritage colours and a cabinet containing antique bierkrugs, glassware and sporting memorabilia (including signed GAA balls) I order fish pie from the bar menu (€13.95) and it comes in a large shallow dish with a puffy layer of mash topped by a crust of grilled Chedder cheese. The mash gives way to a mix of salmon, cod and mussels, with scallions and a thick white sauce binding it all together. Its comfort food from the deep, fine fare for an Autumn evening, served with a scoop of salad and chips. My pie was extroardinarily hot, however, so be careful of little mouths.................
