Located on Carlingford Lough, this family-run business has been passionate about providing the best oysters since 1975.
The lough provides the ideal conditions for the oysters to grow and thrive, with the ocean tides providing enough nutrients for each oyster.
In Carlingford Lough they have a huge exchange of water with each tide which provides the nutrients on which the oysters feed.
In conjunction with this freshwater flowing in from the mountainsides north and south of the Lough give Carlingford Oysters a very rich and distinctive flavour.
