Our Oysters

Oysters have been farmed in Ballinakill Bay, Connemara since 1893. It is one of the oldest oyster farms in the country.

Originally the oysters were brought by horse and cart in barrels to Clifden, then they travelled by rail to Dublin for shipment on the mail boat to England.

Today, oysters from Ballinakill Bay are served in local hotels and restaurants as well as being exported worldwide.

Join us on our farm tour and see how oysters are grown over a three-year period from seed to plate. As part of the tour enjoy the taste of a Connemara Oyster fresh from the waters of Ballinakill Bay.

Our extended tours during Spring tides are special and include a walk on the seashore to the oyster beds.

Tour and Lunch

We had an absolute great time last Friday afternoon at your Oyster farm. We have all learned a lot about oysters, enjoyed the great tour you gave and loved the oysters and great seafood lunch you had arranged for us. Many thanks to you, your wife and the team at DK Oysters for the great organisation. We will certainly come back when the cottage is ready and wish you all the best for this season!
