At O'Connells we pride ourselves on the quality and freshness of our fish. Our customers include Cork's finest restaurants, and visitors to the city as well as Cork's discriminating and demanding food lovers.

Between 60 and 70 varieties of fish are available in our stall. Live lobsters can be bought straight from the tank, as well as crayfish when in season. We have a splendid selection of prawns: Dublin bay prawns, tiger prawns and shrimps.

O'Connell's smoked salmon is prized ­ Donegal salmon, and local Castletownbere salmon when in season is smoked for us locally.

We collect our white fish straight from the trawlers, which is why it's amongst the freshest fish you can find in Ireland.

The ports that service us include Union Hall and Castletownbere in West Cork, along with Donegal. Fresh fish is also imported, so shoppers can have a choice of fish such as snapper, bass, bream and carp, along with the cod, haddock, salmon, mackerel and all the other wonderful fish that come from Ireland's Atlantic waters.

"Pat and Paul O'Connell run what is unquestionably the best fishmonger's business in the entire country."
