Youghal adopts new signature dish, fish pie

GALWAY has its oysters, Clonakilty its black pudding and Charleville its cheese. Now Youghal has its fish pie.

A French chef working in the east Cork town has compiled the winning recipe in a contest to establish the perpetual Gold Label Youghal Bay Fish Pie.

Seventeen restaurant services in the town entered the competition but David Ribeau ensured his employers— the Red Store bar and restaurant on North Main Street — entered the history and cookery books with a winning effort that he prepared “in about 10 minutes”.
