The Dolphin Portrush

Tucked just back from the East Strand in the heart of Portrush, The Dolphin is the kind of seaside chippy that locals will happily queue for. It has built a loyal following for fish fried to order, with a light, crisp batter wrapped around generous, flaky fillets. A classic Haddock Supper is the order to beat, though the golden chips and the steady stream of holidaymakers heading toward Dunluce tell their own story.

Reviewers rate it 4.1/5 on Google, praising the freshness and the spotless counter even when the place is heaving in high summer. It is an easy, no-frills choice for a proper feed after a walk along the coast, whether you are eating in or carrying your parcel down toward the sea. Service can slow at peak times simply because everything is cooked fresh, so it is worth the short wait for one of the North Coast's better-loved fish suppers.
