Lisdoonvarna was our destination of the day for a VIP tour of The Burren Smokehouse. Totally organic salmon is smoked here with chips and sawdust gathered from a local furniture mill and it was really enlightening to follow the procedures and story.
We enjoyed the tour with a Parisian Chef there to learn more about the process and ingredients said to be the best in Ireland, donning white coats and footwear booties.
Followers know that I love salmon and was lucky enough to enjoy it for breakfast, lunch and dinner while on our recent journey along the Wild Atlantic Way tour.
I gobbled up a small plate so fresh it was being packed up and shipped out to stores and restaurants all over the world. It was really the best I've ever had. Afterward we headed next door to Roadside Tavern for more salmon, a local brew tasting and trading endless stories and laughs with Peter Curtin and the locals. If you are ever anywhere near it's a great way to spend the afternoon.
