It's National Fish and Chip Day!! Hooray! It may be cholesterol's Christmas but who cares...as what better way to celebrate our fishy fetish than a trip down the local chipper!
Picking some of the best would make Solomon sweat but here are just 5 of our favourites...
Saltees Chipper in Kilmore, Wexford
You get two pieces cooked to order and nabbed fresh off the beautiful Wexford coast. The monkfish is divine apparantly!
Jack Jordans Doughiska Centre, Doughiska, Galway
Yes we know McDonagh's is legendary but Jack's offers some top traditional Fish 'n' Chip fare in a lovely friendly atmosphere.
Donkey Fords John Street, Limerick
As revered and legendary as Paul O'Connell's jockstrap in Limerick, Donkey's is the oldest and the best in the city...we sware ta Gad!
Leo Burdock's 2 Werburgh St, Christchurch, Dublin
Booordox, to give it's official local title is as much a part of Dublin as Christchurch itself and if the constant and drooling queues are anything to go by it will outlast it too.
Lennox's 137 Bandon Road, Cork
As this is in Cork, it is naturally regarded as 'the best chipper in the world la'. A Cork constitution, U2 loved it so much that they gifted a gold album to it that still hangs on the wall. We wonder did they ask for extra 'LEMON' on their fish...ahem!
