Lucinda O’Sullivan’s restaurant review: Beat a path to Ingredient, a summer pop-up in seaside town Skerries

Checking out the new Ingredient pop-up at the Olive Deli in the north Co Dublin, our critic very much liked the chef’s delicious ideas and found herself duly impressed by the fab food and service

Here we are at the start of June, with summer hopefully bursting out all over! The very whiff of June had me heading to the north Co Dublin seaside village of Skerries, where, as a child, my parents took a house for the month each summer. My father would commute by train into the city, and, hail, rain or snow, my mother and I had long days on the South Strand.

I can still smell the fish and chips from over a half door at the top of the beach. I recall my mother buying Dublin Bay prawns from the fishermen, taking them home, dropping them briefly in boiling water before we shelled and ate them voraciously with salt and mayo; playing pongo, and my father’s fondness for nipping into Joe May’s pub for a “quick one”, emerging with a smile.
