You can't miss the giant fibreglass lobster clinging to the wall of the Lobster Pot, which looks onto the working fishing port. Serving up a great selection of seafood, this pub-restaurant is packed when big matches are on TV. Seafood fans can go for the Titanic seafood platter (€54), loaded with lobster, crab, mussels, salmon, prawns and more.
