In Ireland, products are quality! Ultra-fresh, tasty and generous. It has to be said that Ireland has an undeniable advantage: whether in lakes, rivers or the Atlantic Ocean, the Irish fish that live there enjoy an ecosystem that is still preserved!
Better still, the country has been striving for years to implement a sustainable fishing policy as part of its efforts to preserve the oceans.
That’s why over 80% of Irish salmon is organic, from farms that respect the environment and the needs of the fish.
Among the finest, you’ll find Irish smoked salmon, cod, trout, Galway oysters and crab claws! Not to mention smoked haddock, sole, mussels, shrimps…etc!
