2023 Award Winners SEAFOOD CHEF OF THE YEAR 2023

Tony Davidson - Fisk Seafood Bar Downings Co Donegal

With top Donegal producers and products - including Mulroy Bay mussels and Scarpello’s famous sourdough bread - name checked on the menu, there’s a real sense of locality at Tony Davidson and Lina Reppert’s atmospheric little seafood restaurant. And Fisk is very much its own place, so the beautiful seasonal local produce is showcased by Tony and his small team in a way that you won’t see anywhere else. But the Fisk experience is famously elusive. They don’t take bookings and, as there isn´t a phone - although you could try by email – you can’t even call and plead for a table. So get there early and be prepared to queue - no great hardship, as The Harbour Bar next door is delightful.
