Fun for the whole family
Our new visitor space "Taste the Atlantic - The Salmon Experience" is a fun experience for the whole family. Immerse yourself in a playful way in the history of Irish Salmon. Follow this noble King of Fish through time and watch the legend of the Salmon of Knowledge unfold before your eyes in an unusual way.
Solve puzzles and quizzes, learn about the importance of modern aquaculture and good nutrition.
What the visit includes:
Your visit to the "Taste The Atlantic" lets you explore the history and legends of the Irish Salmon in your own time. We can provide translations of the texts in French and German.
You will also get to watch a video about the smoking process, see the story of the Curtin Family and the Burren Smokehouse, explore our first kiln and materials we use for smoking.
A tasting of our Burren Smoked Irish Organic Salmon will convey to you what it is all about.
Launch of the Tour
The experience was launched in October 2019. It was our great honour to have Mrs Sabina Higgins, wife of President Michael D Higgins, cutting the ribbon and declaring the experience opened alongside representatives from Fáilte Ireland, Bord Iascaigh Mhara (BIM) and Bord Bía.
These State agencies were heavily involved in the creation of this unique experience which is one of many different "Taste the Atlantic" venues along the Wild Atlantic Way.
