Croagh Patrick Seafood Tours
Review
Occupying its own beautiful peninsula at Roslaher, near Newport, Croagh Patrick Seafood Tours offers one of County Mayo’s most fascinating visitor experiences. The Gannon family have worked this land for generations, but their passion for the sea has created something rather special. Overlooking magnificent Clew Bay, their working oyster farm provides a wonderful opportunity to understand the journey from seed to table. Guided by the knowledgeable and enthusiastic Padraig Gannon, visitors explore the family’s aquaculture operation, discovering the remarkable care involved in producing these delicious oysters. There’s even an opportunity to select and shuck your own! The experience concludes with tastings in their impressive, purpose-built visitor centre. Having visited countless attractions throughout Ireland, I found the level of detail here particularly impressive. Genuine family hospitality, infectious enthusiasm and exceptional value for money make this a memorable experience. This is certainly one attraction I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend to anyone visiting Mayo.
