Finest

Seafood
Welcome to Connemara Smokehouse and a taste as wild and enchanting as the West of Ireland’s rugged coastline.
Our family has crafted the finest traditionally-smoked wild Atlantic seafood for more than 40 years.
Connemara Smokehouse is the oldest smokehouse in Connemara and is home to authentically ancient Irish flavours.
Our traditional recipes and time-honoured beechwood smoking methods have been handed down through generations and are fused perfectly to create smoked seafood that tastes, looks and feels sensational.
We smoke only the best quality wild and organic salmon, tuna, mackerel, trout and herrings from the wild Atlantic Ocean – which ebbs, flows and rages just yards from our smokehouse door.

Our Methods
Traditional process, purest harvest, finest results
Having sourced the purest fish from clear blue Atlantic waters, we employ our time-honoured methods to deliver exquisite smoked seafood to your plate.
Each step in our all-natural traditional process is meticulously executed to craft elegant smoked salmon, mackerel, tuna, trout and herrings which are bursting with flavour.
Our methods have been handed down for generations to ensure that the smoked fish on your plate is of the finest quality, retaining all of its authentic essence, natural taste and original colour.
Only when a fish has reached the ideal weight for smoking, is it harvested from the sea, rapidly cooled, gutted, cleaned, hand-filleted and boned.
The entire process is carefully completed by hand in our Connemara Smokehouse.

Our Story
Three generations, internationally renowned
Owned and run by husband and wife team Graham and Saoirse Roberts, Connemara Smokehouse was founded by Graham’s parents John and Bridget in the 1970s.
Since then, the Roberts family has become internationally renowned as masters of the traditional Irish fish smoking craft.
The fabulous taste of the delicately-finished smokehouse delights speaks for itself – transcending all languages.
Today the smokehouse is also a popular visitor attraction on the idyllic Connemara coast in Co. Galway. Each year foodies flock to discover just how the world’s finest smoked seafood offerings are traditionally crafted by the Roberts family.
The original kiln, fondly dubbed ‘Old Smoky’, remains in use and has pride of place in the smokehouse, where it subtly infuses the finest catch of the sea with unique and distinctive beechwood tones.
