"The Fish Short Story Prize is an open door that's inviting writers to walk through it. It has to be encouraged, celebrated, congratulated." Roddy Doyle "Fish is doing God's own work. It's an inspiration and an avenue for writers everywhere." Frank McCourt

Fish aims to discover new and exciting talent both in Ireland and abroad, and publish it, bringing a taste of the latest Irish literature around the world, while taking back some of theirs. In 1994 Fish started its life on a trawler off the south west of Ireland, moving to the mainland a year later.
