    Anyone know when the fish comes in fresh. Is it Thursday morning or something?

    The Galway Bay seafood place? Not too sure, but it comes in pretty often, they have a high turnover. You're pretty much guaranteed decent fish... from what i've heard anyhow

    I heard from somewhere though never buy fish on a Monday (which makes sense if you think about it).

    I thought it was because fish shops don't usually open on a Sunday so fish on display might be left over from Saturday (if it's a dodgy fish shop).

    No it's that the fish do sleep in on Sunday's so the fishermen won't catch much :D

    Forgot to mention Ernie's on Sea Road, seem's decent. Well, no dead bodies found yet fingers crossed :D

    Just be prepared to talk, or bring ear plugs. If you catch Ernie himself he'll be talkin to ya for a while!

    Ah Ernie is lovely, bless! Don't let ye be put off by the dead body, in all honesty Ali is a real gentlemen & it wasn't his fault what happened. I'm still going there!

    Are there any other good fish shops around Galway? Has anyone gotten fish from the market on a Saturday before?

    They're not like regular freezers, anyway where the body was it would have been difficult to see it. He had cleared out the freezer but not moved that part.
