McAllister’s Seafood Platter Recipe from Kenny’s of Lucan #DubPubDishes

McAllister’s Seafood Platter Recipe from Kenny’s of LucanThe quality of food available in Dublin pubs has increased dramatically over recent years. Like this McAllister’s Seafood Platter Recipe from Kenny’s of Lucan, some of the dishes provided in Dublin pubs are now amongst the highest calibre of food in the city. Over the coming weeks the Licensed Vintners Association (LVA) will be sharing some of these recipes from Dublin pubs highlighting a selection of the top quality dishes you can find in pubs throughout the city and county. #DubPubDishes

This dish highlights the best quality Irish seafood prepared in a simple manner allowing the produce to take centre stage. In the pub the dish will change depending on the freshest ingredients available but today we are using John Dory, Hake & Clare Island Organic Salmon all sourced by McAllister’s Fishmongers, who are also based in Lucan village. The accompaniments include an orange and lime salsa and a squash puree that pairs beautifully with the fresh seafood.
