Taste, Learn, Shop at the Burren Smokehouse with its two different visitor experiences. In one, you will learn all about their history on pictorial storyboards and the way they smoke their Irish Organic Salmon. Watch a video about the smoking process (in different languages), explore the kiln and taste the smoked salmon.

In the second visitor experience–a self-guided & interactive visitor centre, “Taste the Atlantic – The Salmon Experience”, you will immerse yourself in the story of Irish Salmon. Follow it through time and watch the legend of the Salmon of Knowledge unfold before your eyes. Learn about modern aquaculture, solve jigsaw puzzles and quizzes! Suitable for school kids and adults.

The Visitor Centre has become a popular attraction in the North County Clare area and welcomes visitors from all over the world. It is open all year round, please check their website to see the opening hours.

Inside and outside of the shop, you will discover mosaics that are telling the story of the “Salmon of Knowledge”.

Marvel at the nostalgic atmosphere and smell the oak smoke as soon as you come through the door. Feel the rumble of the production facilities under your feet as you explore the retired kiln and smokebox that they used when they first set up the Burren Smokehouse.
