This is where we always stop to fill our picnic basket for a pleasure outing at the lighthouse on Blackhead along the coast road through the Burren. If the lighthouse looks too busy, we drive a bit further along the road to Gleninagh. The scenery may change but our picnic of Burren Smoked and BarBQ Salmon with fresh bread sticks,... More

We have passed it on to our visitor centre staff who have subsequently checked all products on the shelves for their best before date. Unfortunately, the coffee machine was out... More

The smoke house in Lisdoonvarna is a great place to visit and watch the salmon being smoked, It really is the best smoked salmon in Ireland. They even make up gift hampers to ship home.

I'm a fan of their smoked salmon and mackerel. They do both cold and hot smoked fish, as well as a range of Irish food and craft products. Well worth stopping in. Plus you can learn and see how they do their smoking.

I haven't had such good salmon before!!! We also bought some fresh made bread for breakfasts. Lots of honeys and jams... More
