Oysters in Ireland
Ireland is renowned for its high-quality oysters, a cornerstone of its seafood industry, with companies like Carlingford Oyster Company and Connemara Oysters leading production. The pristine waters of the Atlantic coastline, particularly in areas like Carlingford Lough and Galway Bay, provide ideal conditions for cultivating both Pacific (Crassostrea gigas) and native flat oysters (Ostrea edulis), contributing to their distinctive flavour and international demand.
