“A tasty new Co. Kerry visitor attraction is bringing shellfish, aquaculture heritage, marine biodiversity and fourth-generation storytelling to the Wild Atlantic Way.

Réalt na Mara Shellfish, an award-winning aquaculture business run by fourth-generation fishers based in Cromane, has opened a Shellfish Tour & Tasting Experience which includes a fully equipped visitor centre and multimedia hub.

The development of the Shellfish Tour and Tasting experience was selected for funding by the Fisheries Local Action Group (FLAG) Southwest, under the Coastal Communities Development Scheme, receiving a grant of €10,000 for this project.

Minister of State at the Department of Agriculture Food and the Marine, Timmy Dooley TD, said:

“FLAG funding is designed to strengthen coastal communities, and Réalt na Mara Shellfish is a perfect example of that vision in action. This investment supports the local tourism and aquaculture industries and showcases the best of what can be experienced along the spectacular southwest coastline.”
