OUR FISH

Donegal, Mayo, Galway, Kerry, Cork, Wexford, Gannet’s fish supply network stretches all along the Western sea front. The Wild Atlantic Way, where 95 % of our wild catch is landed.

Whether we travel to catch it ourselves or set one of our suppliers to pick it for us, we are real Gannets about it… “We want the Freshest, We want the Biggest, We want the Best, We want it All”… Wisdom has taught us that “without is sometimes better than with”, that there is no such thing as second best.

Imported Fish? It happens if the quality and choice is better to what we may source locally. But we have set ourselves 3 rules:

1. Not to import fish simply because it is cheaper somewhere else.
2. Only flying fish should take off in the air. None of our imports are air freighted.
3. Only fish landed in Ireland may be labelled Irish, this does not include the freight terminals of Rosslare, Dublin, & Belfast…

We love seasonality because of its highs and lows. A product temporarily off the supply list, is a given opportunity to taste and enjoy something else. As we say: “Many more fish in the Sea”

All our fish preparation and filleting takes place at our processing unit @ Gannet HQ. We call it “The Fish Factory” but we are glad it’s not one… It is no more than a small warehouse, on a busy side Street in an industrial estate on the East side of Galway City.

We designed it & built it ourselves, so not only does it comply with all food & safety standards, but it is also according to us, “the best built fish factory” in Ireland. Designed for and by people who are actually handing fresh fish…

If you ever pass us by, call up to say hello. We have an open door policy and always welcome in Visitors and Customers to look behind the scene.
