With West Cork day boats landing close by, seafood is one of the things Cork does most naturally, and the city centre carries the best of it. Goldie on Oliver Plunkett Street works a daily-changing, fin-to-gill menu around the catch, while Quinlan's Seafood Bar on Patrick Street draws on its family fishing fleet. Cornstore on Cornmarket Street rounds out the spread with a larger steak-and-seafood room.
