Ireland is home to Michelin Star restaurants, gastro pubs, and farmer’s markets all featuring fresh and delicious foods. Whether it’s fresh mussels or Irish pudding, there is something for everyone to enjoy!
Located in Galway, Ireland, Killary Fjord Shellfish is a family-owned mussel farm business that began in 1989. Considered a pioneer in mussel farming, Killary Fjord Shellfish farms mussels on longlines submerged 8 meters under water. The mussels from Killary Fjord are known for their distinct sweet flavor as they are grown in an ideal location of both fresh and sea water. Once you are done learning about and farming the mussels, head back to the shore to get a taste of them for yourself. Not only does Killary Fjord Shellfish farm the mussels, but they serve them as well!
