Connemara Smokehouse


Connemara, Co. Galway

The Connemara Smokehouse specialises in producing wild and organic salmon. As Connemara's longest established Smokehouse, this is a fascinating location to visit, take a tour and purchase a great array of traditionally hand-prepared seafood products. Tour of the Connemara Smokehouse takes about 1 hour (can be a little quicker if necessary). Graham or Nichola will show the filleting of salmon & explain the salting and smoking techniques, then you will see the hand-slicing and packing of the smoked salmon all the way to the finished product. You will also enjoy a tasting of our fantastic Smoked Salmon. We are sure you will then want to buy some to take home, eat some while you are here on holiday, or send to friends and family as a gift. It's educational, fun and delicious. The Connemara Smokehouse is located right on the water's edge at Bunowen Pier, and the surrounding area has exceptional views of the Twelve Bens mountain range, the castle of Connaught's historic Pirate Queen, Grainne Mhoal (Gráinne Ni Mhaille, Grace O'Malley), Connemara Championship Golf Links, rugged landscapes and beautiful clear water sandy beaches.

Our Take

The Connemara Smokehouse is a great diversion when touring the coastline of Southern Connemara. Grab a bottle of wine in Clifden on the way back and perhaps picnic at the top of Diamond Hill in the Connemara National Park. Careful on the way down!
