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!

There’s something for every taste, and there are plenty of Irish recipes to suit these exceptional products!

Among the timeless favourites, don’t hesitate to try Irish fish and chips: simple, economical, and above all a real pleasure!

As for the more adventurous, don’t hesitate to try the strange combination of “Oysters and Guinness”, a dish born of an accidental discovery in 1837. Since then, the Irish have been crazy about it, and have even managed to win over travellers’ palates!
